5 cleaning hacks for the festive season

The festive December month means for many people that people come over. To save you as a hostess time and hassle and make sure that you can easily enjoy family and friends, we have listed a number of cleaning hacks.

1. Treat stains immediately. Don't think I'll clean the stain later, because the longer you leave the stain, the harder it is to remove.

2. Do you have overnight guests? Use a microfibre cloth to easily and quickly clean the shower without getting wet. Spray your favorite cleaning agent on the surface and use the cloth to remove dirt and mold.

3. To prevent dust from getting on the surface of glass tables, TV screens or coffee tables, mix a little fabric softener with warm water. Wipe the mixture onto the surface and then wipe dry with a soft microfibre cloth.

4. To remove melted candle wax from tablecloths, place the cloth on the sink and slowly pour boiling water over the melted wax.

5. Remove watermarks from glasses left on wooden surfaces by mixing 1 teaspoon of salt with a few drops of water to form a paste. Gently rub the paste onto the ring with a soft cloth or sponge and rub until the spot is gone.
