‘Tis the season to be jolly, but you don’t have time or desire to belt out the “Fa la la la la la la la” when you’re starting to feel like “one woman circus”, with a juggling act of a seemingly insurmountable amount of roles and tasks. There has been days where I had been overwhelmingly stressed to a point where I couldn’t muster the time or energy to do it all. I think many people can relate to this, whether they have a 9-5 job, work at home, or a stay at home mom (or dad) since we all have our obligations on top of our everyday roles.
Between everyday life and an influx of holiday festivities, keeping the home clean and orderly may be the last thing that has crossed your mind lately. For the sake of the merriment of the holidays, there is one way to make holiday cleaning serenely stress-free much as possible with one simple and inexpensive cleaning product: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser can magically tackle minor to downright laboring cleaning tasks. A few from the million of tasks includes removing stains from pans or cookie sheets, the “nefarious” residue that is left on items when removing a price tag sticker, the artwork that your budding Picasso drew all over the WALLS, scuffs on your favorite shoes, waxy residue from candles, dried-on food on the countertops (laminate, granite, or glass), or baked-on food from casserole dishes. It’s simple, inexpensive, and keeps your sanity in check!

My cleaning tip would be that everyone in the household pick up after themselves (which does not work in my household) and when entering a room… find at least one thing that needs done and do it. It’s amazing how easy it is and keeps things from getting too crazy!
Even if my house is spotless it doesn’t feel that way unless it smells good so I use Febreeze and candle warmers 🙂
The place where I live is very small so always try to keep everything organized and in boxes talks to make it easier when you need something and do battle in search of a place to another
I like clean every day so I do not accumulate work at home and can enjoy more free time at home with my family motto is you do your you order desatres
Thanks for thw chance I love Mr. Clean Magic Erasers is magic
Clean regularly so it does not all pile up at once.
I clean as I go. After taking a shower, it only takes me 15 minutes to clean the bathroom. Since I am already in the bathroom I just use my cleaning cloths to wipe every down, and mop the floor. After cooking dinner, I just clean the stove and wash the dishes and sweep the floor. I also use Mr. Clean to help me with my chores.
Clean a little bit every day
I clean throughout the week instead of doing it all on the weekend
Stay on top those dishes
I use ammonia/water with a little vinegar and a good squeege for my window cleaning
My cleaning tip is to try to do a little each day so it doesn’t get out of control.
cleaning tip: keep up with the cleaning, especially the kitchen. don’t let the messes build up to the point they are huge, it will take more time and effort later, to clean.
Keeping clutter contained helps so much. I clean some everyday, so I just have to do a quick clean-up for last minute visitors. I also love to have my home smell like Christmas by using candles and plug-ins.
My cleaning tip is to get the kids involved in cleaning. They’ll think it’s fun and it will keep them occupied while you get things done.
Clean as you go and not wait until the very end.
My tip is to start way in advance so you can take it one room each day.
i clean on weekends
Assign a room/area to be cleaned each day – will only take a few minutes & make the cleanup more manageable. Organization is key during the Holidays! And don’t set stuff down randomly around the house, clutter accumulates so quickly this way…
My tip is to do major cleaning on the weekends and to do the smaller upkeep during the week.
If you have pets, it helps to sweep the hair up off the carpet before vacuuming.
I try to clean as things get dirty as not to have too much to do at once.
I would not be able to get through life without Magic Erasers!! I love those things.
I use the magic erasers because they are simply the best!
We make a list and tackle at least one a day. That way by the weekend there’s not much left to do and it doesn’t seem like an overwhelming task! Magic erasers are my best friend 🙂
Great cleaning tips! THe only tip I have is to keep your children and pets OUTSIDE ALWAYS. Joking. Kind of. 😉

My cleaning tip is to have the whole family pitch in and each get a job or two to do.
My tip is to do get all your baking done before you clean the kitchen for the holidays. If you don’t, you’ll end up doing it over again.
Clean as you go along.
I try to work on one room at a time. If I have to clean the whole house in one day, I will go crazy. Also, don’t just throw loose ends into an unorganized pile but be sure you put stuff away in an organized fashion. Nothing is less fun than have to clean up a mess after a big ordeal.
Don’t go to bed with dirty dishes in the sink, no matter how tired you are. In the morning, I feel much better when I don’t wake up to dirty dishes.
My cleaning tip is try to keep organized and your cleaning chores will be less.
While working in the kitchen, clean as you go. It makes things much easier than doing it all at once after cooking.
For me, doing a little bit every day works best, and also go through each room every day for anything obvious. Then, use lots of candles, holiday scents & music and lots of homemade cookies around and hope for the best!
My cleaning tip is to clean and scrub the shower walls after you take a steamy shower.
I try to clean a little every day…hard to keep up sometimes!
I have a schedule… Mondays, it’s change ALL the bedding, Tuesdays is all the bathrooms, Wednesdays, mop the floors, etc…. if you stay on schedule, it stays fairly clean…. and breaks up the work.
Organization is key. It takes so long to pickup after everybody… Everything should have a home and everything should be in its home! In my house, I’m OCD and the slob gene is dominant. It’s a miracle I haven’t lost my mind as of yet.
My tip is to take advantage of people being home/off during the holidays and have them pitch in with the cleaning.
I clean every day and family members help with the cleaning.
Hire a maid! It’s ok to treat yourself once in a while.
I don’t really have any. I try to keep the house clean but it doesn’t work out too often. My girls are super messing. lol Thank you!
An easy tip – I diffuse lemon essential oil.
The lemony scent provides a sense of clean.
thank you
I like to give the house a GOOD scrub in the middle of November, that way I can just ‘hit the high spots’ throughout the holidays.
Do you have any cleaning tips to simplify holiday cleaning?
not really..lots of clean up after christmas dinner..get some sleep
My tip is to just stay on top of cleaning so it doesn’t pile up.

I always clean out my garbage disposal with ice chips and lemon wedges.
use magic erasers for scuffs on walls
My tip is to have a box handy for clutter so you can just toss items into it to tidy up. Afterwards, let each person in the house retrieve and put away their own items.
clean up your gifting supplies each time you use them
My tip is to do major cleaning on the weekends and to do the smaller upkeep during the week.
Always clean as you go
I use lemon and vinegar to clean it
My best tips for me at my house is to pick up as a i go. My house and kitchen is really small so to let things pile up would cause a whole lot of clutterness.
I love using my steam cleaner. It’s quick and easy. I even use it to dust.
I ask everyone to help me clean.
Clean some every day.
I really have no good tips for cleaning during the holidays. The way I do it is to wait until the very last minute and then scramble around the house cleaning like a mad woman. The upside is your kids help just to keep the mania down. 🙂

My tip is clean as you go!
I start a week before the holidays to clean. I pick one room per day to focus on which makes it easier on me.
Declutter! Having lots of papers, junk mail, stuff to put away, knick knacks, etc clutters up spaces and makes things look messy.
I’ve recently learned a good tip: counterclockwise cleaning. Start at the front door, where guests will arrive, and clean everything you have time for and close or partition off any rooms or areas that you can’t squeeze in.
My only tips are to keep up with cleaning so it does not get overwhelming and to delegate to the family for help.
Make the kids and husband go to the in laws…boom …clean house.
I use paper plates for dessert. nice and easy~!
Put stuff away right away so it does not build up and make a mess
My cleaning tip is to get the family involved.
My cleaning tip is to deep clean one room a day leading up to the holidays.
My cleaning tip is to keep everything neat and tidy all year long. It makes deep cleaning a snap!
Now that I am married and have three kids my tip would be to make enough money to hire a cleaning service.
Clean 20 mins before bed it really helps keep things tidy
My best tip is to clean up right after you get done. If you clean the pots and pans right away then not only are they easier to clean but you feel better about not having to think about it later.
My tip is to ask other family members to HELP OUT!
