The correct sequence of actions will help turn the devastation and chaos back into a comfortable home.

1. Open windows

After the party, the room should be checked, especially if the guests have smoked. Empty the ashtrays immediately, because they give off a strong smell, due to which freshness will not return to the apartment soon.

How to make the process easier

Do not allow guests to smoke in the apartment. They will disperse, and you still sleep in it. After a night in a smoky room, it will be much more difficult to clean up due to poor health, and the smell will eat into things for centuries.

2. Collect trash

Walk through the apartment with the package in your hands and put everything that needs to be thrown there. At the same time, inspect the work front.

When picking up trash, look around the premises and mark the places that require attention: stains on the floor, traces of spilled drinks on surfaces.

How to make the process easier

Place in the room where the party is taking place, bags or trash buckets. Have guests throw away chocolate wrappers, empty cans, bottles, and other waste on their own instead of placing them on windowsills and tables.

3. Clean up the kitchen

Professional cleaners start cleaning surfaces in the kitchen. First, they wash the dishes to empty the sink and gain free access to water. According to the cleaner Svetlana Popova, it is better to immediately lay out the clean dishes in their places and not to litter the kitchen surfaces: they also have to be washed.

Tough stains in the kitchen can be dealt with by filling them with a special product and waiting for it to work. The main thing is to carefully read the descriptions on the packages.

How to make the process easier

Try to wipe down the oven, stove, and microwave before guests arrive, as fresh stains will rub off faster.

After preparing the dishes for the party, wash the dishes immediately, without leaving them for later, otherwise you will have a large pile of dishes that you cannot access.

If the party is informal, disposable tableware is a good solution. Anastasia Dmitrova also advises to cover the table with a tablecloth, which is not a pity to throw out: this way you will not have to wipe it from stains.

4. Fill the plumbing with detergent

Apply the cleaner to your bathtub, sink, and toilet. By the time you get to the bathroom, the liquids and powders will have worked and can be removed.

If necessary, pour a cleaner into the drain.

5. Clean up the rooms

After the kitchen, the cleaners put things in order in the rooms, and then in the hallway.

I recommend cleaning from top to bottom: wipe high surfaces, then clean beds and sofas, and lastly, vacuum and mop the floors.

How to make the process easier

Cover sofas with rugs before a party to keep the upholstery from staining. The bedspreads can then be put in the washing machine, but the beloved ottoman cannot. If possible, if any of the guests spills something, it is better to wipe it off immediately.

I advise you to always have a microfiber cloth on hand. They perfectly absorb moisture and dirt, dry quickly.

Change the water in the bucket often to really clean up the apartment, and not just smear dirt on the surfaces.

6. Leave the bathroom for last

Such a sequence in cleaning is rational: you will go to the bathroom over and over again to pour water out of a bucket or rinse a rag under running water. And it just doesn't make sense to clean up the rest of the rooms here.

Wipe down the plumbing, which you prudently filled with a special agent, mirrors, wash the floors. Throw in all the towels, because guests most likely wiped their hands on more than just the textiles you hung on the hanger near the sink.

How to make the process easier

Don't forget gloves. Plumbing products are quite caustic, and if the hands are able to endure the previous steps of cleaning, then cleaning the bathroom can result in a chemical burn to the skin.

7. Take out all the trash

Collect the bags that you used at the very beginning and replenished during the cleaning process, take them to the trash can and return to a clean apartment.
