Hosting a party or event is exciting, but the post event cleanup after often includes a significant mess. From spilled drinks to scattered decorations, cleaning up can feel overwhelming. NeatNest LLC is here to help with expert advice on post-event cleaning, making your space spotless in no time. Whether you hosted a small gathering or a large celebration, these tips will save you time and stress.

1. Start with a Plan

Before diving into the cleanup, assess the space and prioritize tasks. Separate your cleanup into sections: kitchen, living area, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces. This systematic approach ensures no area is overlooked.

2. Gather Your Supplies

Equip yourself with essential cleaning tools:

Trash bags and recycling bins
Microfiber cloths and sponges
All-purpose cleaner
Floor mop or vacuum
Gloves to protect your hands

Having all supplies ready prevents unnecessary delays.

3. Declutter First

Start by removing all trash and recyclables. Go room by room, collecting items like:

Empty bottles and cans
Disposable plates and cups
Leftover food

Sort recyclables to be eco-friendly and save space in your garbage bin.

4. Tackle Stains Immediately

Check for spills on carpets, upholstery, and table surfaces. The longer a stain sits, the harder it is to remove. Use these quick remedies:

For carpets, blot (don’t rub) the stain with a damp cloth and a mix of water and mild detergent.
For furniture, use a fabric-safe cleaner.
Hardwood or tiled floors can be cleaned with a damp mop and floor cleaner.

5. Wash Dishes and Clean Surfaces

Load the dishwasher with glasses, plates, and utensils.
Wipe down tables, counters, and other surfaces with an all-purpose cleaner to remove crumbs and sticky residue.

6. Vacuum and Mop Floors

Once the clutter and stains are addressed, vacuum all carpets and rugs to pick up debris. For hard floors, follow up with a mop to leave them sparkling clean.

7. Refresh the Bathroom

Bathrooms often take a hit during parties. Focus on:

Cleaning sinks and countertops
Restocking toilet paper and soap
Mopping the floor for any spills

8. Don’t Forget Outdoor Spaces

If your event included outdoor areas, pick up trash, clean patio furniture, and sweep the deck or patio.
