Christmas cleaning and prep for a stress-free holiday

Christmas cleaning and prep can be stressful, even if you’re not hosting the big day itself. You might have kids off school making more mess than usual around your home, or you’re celebrating with guests on Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve or Boxing Day. There is also gift wrapping, gift unwrapping, more cooking, more shopping, more stress and generally more mess.

The best way to deal with holiday stress? Follow our essential tips for how to clean and prep your home for the Christmas season

For an all-round clean

Cup marks on the coffee table? Red wine stains on the counter? Mud marks on the carpet? Ecozone has the solutions for all types of tough stains and dirt. Our Multi-Surface Cleaner is formulated with natural plant extracts and fresh aloe vera scent for a powerful clean on a multitude of surfaces from countertops to tables and chairs. Alternatively try our Magic Stain Eraser; this handy sponge only needs water to activate, and has exfoliating power strong enough to lift tough stains, oils and residues from any surface.

For floors that look good as new, try our Carpet Shampoo, Wood Floor Cleaner and Hard Floor Cleaner. The Carpet Shampoo works on large areas as well as smaller spot stains, leaving your carpet with an uplifting Fresh Cotton scent. For wood or hard flooring, our Wood Floor Cleaner and Hard Floor Cleaner are both specifically formulated to give these surfaces an effective and easy clean.

For the kitchen

An integral part of your Christmas cleaning and holiday preparations is the kitchen. Not only do you want it in top shape in case your guests might see it, but also for your own peace of mind that you’re cooking and preparing food in a pleasant and safe space.

Give your surfaces a thorough clean with the Tough Degreaser Kitchen Cleaner Spray, that’s powerful enough to dissolve hard to remove dirt but can also be used on a whole range of surfaces from your cooker hobs to the microwave. Wipe it down with our Kitchen Microfibre Cloth, which is specially designed to work alongside our Kitchen Cleaner Spray and pick up any grime you usually find on kitchen surfaces. It’s perfect for cleaning as you go along, too; just dampen it with some water, and give the surfaces a quick wipe!

To make sure your dishes and glassware stay sparkling, try our All In One Dishwasher Tablets, or get a great hand wash with our Sensitive Washing Up Liquid (which was even rated best for allergies by Good Housekeeping!) Whatever your dishwashing needs, we’ve got you covered this Christmas.

For cooking

The oven is an integral part of any Christmas meal, but cleaning it properly is a task that’s not only often overlooked, but many products contain some toxic ingredients that you’d rather not risk contaminating your food with. For either a powerful clean to prep yourself for dinner or an effective Christmas clean-up (or both!), our Oven Cleaning Gel is a non-caustic, non-toxic and odourless solution that can tackle tough burnt on stains and residues without causing any inhalation issues while you use it.

For the bathroom

Whether you’ve got family or friends staying Gavin & Stacey style, or you just want to get your bathroom spick and span for visitors dropping by, our All-round Bathroom Cleaner Spray is a triple action formula that will have your bathroom gleaming in no time. Try it with our Bathroom Microfibre Cloth, too, which will help you clean all residue and soap scum with ease.

There’s nothing more embarrassing (or disgusting…) than a filthy toilet, so keep it clean with our Ultra Toilet Cleaner Gel in a Fresh Meadow scent. It’s tough on limescale and septic tank safe, so you can use it to clean your toilet with confidence.

Finishing touches

Fingerprints on the bathroom mirror? Or maybe you have a mirror in the hallway hat could use some extra shine? Achieve a spotless clean with our Window & Glass Cleaner Spray and Window & Glass Microfibre Cloth, both specially designed and formulated to clean splash marks, fingerprints or other pesky residues to leave your mirrors and windows with a refreshing shine.

Our Fabric Crease Releaser is the perfect refreshment for a quick refresh. Its fast acting and freshly scented formula will have your home and clothes smelling freshly washed in seconds. Whether you want your living room furniture revived with its Pure Linen scent for guests or want to quickly smooth out some clothing without getting out the ironing board, our Crease Releaser is an all-in-one solution.

Finally, we recommend keeping our Anti-bacterial Wipes handy for quick clean-ups and spills. They’re perfect for tucking away in a drawer so they’re ready to grab whenever you might need, and they’re 100% biodegradable so you can clean your home without littering the planet.
