A Post-Thanksgiving Cleaning Checklist
You did it! Thanksgiving was a success. The turkey was tender, the stuffing satisfied, and each dessert elicited smiles.
Of course, Thanksgiving pros know the work isn’t done once the meal is complete or the guests leave with their Tupperware full of leftovers. No, there’s still a world of cleaning, from grimy food prep areas to germy countertops to stinky sinks.
Instead of being overwhelmed by the mess in front of you, take things easy by employing a powerful partner. No, not your sleepy kids or even sleepier spouse. We’re talking about Wet & Forget Indoor.
It’s the ultimate indoor surface sanitizer, disinfectant, and deodorizer, making it the perfect tool to knock out your post-Thanksgiving cleaning in one fell swoop.
So, go ahead and treat yourself to one last slice of pie, because when you have Wet & Forget on your side, cleaning is easier than ever.
Use Wet & Forget Indoor to Boost Your Post-Thanksgiving Cleaning
When you’re muscling through your post-Thanksgiving clean-up, you don’t want to add more strain to your body. Aggressive scrubbing, back-breaking bending, and irritating fumes should not be on the menu. Switching out cleaners every time you move to a new surface can also turn a simple clean-up process into one more complex than your sweet potato pie recipe.
That’s why Wet & Forget Indoor is the ideal clean-up partner. It does practically everything you need to return your home to its normal state of cleanliness:
- Cuts through grease and grime
- Eliminates odors at the sources
- Inhibits the growth of mold and mildew
- Kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses on hard, non-porous surfaces*
- Removes dirt and soils
Additionally, the formula is bleach-free and contains no irritating fumes. So, it’s safe to use on a wide range of indoor surfaces:
- Appliances
- Bathtubs and showers
- Cabinets and countertops
- Chairs and tables
- Doors and door handles
- Fabric and upholstery
- Sinks and fixtures
- Toys
Even better, we designed the sprayer to eliminate unnecessary bending or awkward squatting. You’ll be able to apply the cleaner to difficult-to-reach spots without needing to torque your back in the process.
There’s also no need for aggressive scrubbing. In most situations, you’ll spray surfaces and allow them to air or wipe dry. The fast-drying spray means you won’t leave behind sticky surfaces.
Tackle Grease and Grime on Stove Tops and Prep Areas
Seeing the mess left behind by your Thanksgiving food prep is enough to make you think it would be easier to just buy a new house and move there. Truly, it can feel like the mess is neverending.
Wet & Forget Indoor helps by cutting through grease and grime.
So, when you’re cleaning up after guests have left, make sure to hit these spots in your kitchen:
- Backsplashes
- Countertops
- Microwaves
- Refrigerator doors and shelves
- Sinks
- Stovetops
- Tables
If the areas are visibly soiled, you may need to do a quick preliminary cleaning, but Wet & Forget Indoor can sweep in afterward to cut through grease and grime. Simply hold the sprayer about six to eight inches from the surfaces and spray.
Allow the surfaces to remain visibly wet for up to 10 minutes. Then either wipe dry or allow to air dry.
For areas that may come in contact with food later, such as stovetops or countertops, rinse the surfaces with potable water before using them again.
When spraying in your fridge, remove all food from shelves before spraying. You can also apply the spray to a clean sponge or cloth and wipe surfaces.
Sanitize Surfaces to Stop the Spread of Germs
With so many people gathered around your Thanksgiving table, all it takes is one sick person to spread their illness throughout your home. Fortunately, Wet & Forget Indoor can sanitize and disinfect high-touch areas, helping to stop the reach of germs.
So, when it comes to disinfecting and sanitizing your home after Thanksgiving guests leave, make sure to use Wet & Forget Indoor on these surfaces:
- Cabinets
- Chairs
- Door knobs
- Fixtures
- Highchairs
- Tables
- Toys
- Upholstery
For hard, non-porous surfaces, apply Wet & Forget Indoor and allow the surfaces to remain visibly wet for 10 minutes. In that time, the spray will get to work killing 99.9% of germs* and eliminating mold and mildew.
To sanitize soft surfaces, hold the bottle six to eight inches from the surfaces and spray until the fabric is wet. Ensure the fabric remains visibly wet for five minutes and then allow it to air dry.
Vanquish Odors in Your Sink and Garbage Cans
The final entry on your post-Thanksgiving cleaning checklist is to deodorize. Between the food, guests, and other odor providers, it’s not uncommon for certain areas of your home to smell a little less fresh than normal.
When this occurs, you don’t want to merely mask the scent with another pungent smell. Instead, eliminate the source of these concerning odors with Wet & Forget Indoor.
When deodorizing your home, make sure to hit these common spots:
- Bathtubs and showers
- Fabric and upholstery
- Garbage cans
- Hampers
- Pet bedding
- Sinks and fixtures
Again, the application couldn’t be simpler. Simply spray these surfaces until they are visibly wet and then allow to air dry. The formula will begin to attack odors at the source. This eliminates them and means you don’t need to buy industrial-smelling sprays that only cover up the musty odors.
(Though, if you want to refresh your bathroom’s aroma while also attacking mold and mildew stains, consider Wet & Forget Shower. It comes in two refreshing scents: vanilla and fresh scent.)
