As you know, The European Clean Team is all about making your life easier. With Thanksgiving only days away, we thought we would share a few handy Thanksgiving cleaning tips and trick with you:

1. Line your oven and your baking dishes with aluminum foil. This will help catch all the drippings from your turkey and other delicious dishes. Cleaning your oven after the feast will be that much easier.

2. Keep that dishwasher running. When you are hosting a big dinner, you will end up with loads of dishes. If you have time to rinse dishes, load or unload  the dishwasher between courses, your clean up will be that much easier in the end.

3. Empty your fridge ahead of time and make sure you have enough containers for all your leftovers. Most of us end up with lots of leftovers after a Thanksgiving dinner and every year we try to fit them into our fridge without having the right size Tupperware available for what we have to store. Let’s try to think ahead and we promise it will be worth it. If you want  to send leftovers home with your guests, make sure you have everything readily available for them to transport the food.

 4. Label your trash bins. If you are hosting a big dinner and you are big into recycling, like us, it’s a great idea to label your bins so everyone knows where to dispose of which trash item.

5. Line your trash cans with multiple trash bags. If you are expecting a crowd, there will be a lot of trash. Lining your trash can with multiple bags will save time and effort when you most need it.

6. Have stain remover for your furniture readily available. Your guests may spill wine or food on your new carpet or couch, but that’s not a big deal  because you are prepared. The European Clean Team suggests  that you test out any products on a hidden area, first.
