According to the U.S. Census Bureau, nearly 74 million Americans attended a summer barbecue in 2007. It’s safe to assume that a good number of these summer celebrations happened over the July 4th holiday. If you are one of the millions who will host a summer soiree, thoughtful preparations can help you avoid most mishaps and make clean up a sweet breeze. Ready your home with these top 10 party tips from The Maids Home Services and enjoy an unforgettable party.
* Keep a recycling bin within guests’ reach for bottles and cans.
* Messy fingers have a tendency to leave unwanted prints, streaks and stains. Place moist towelettes near finger foods and reduce the amount of necessary post-party scrubbing.
* Large crowds and flames can be a dangerous combination. Put away all candles. Display a bowl of potpourri or a scented jelly jar to freshen the air—especially in the bathroom.
* To remove unwelcome odors, such as beer, from washable items like tablecloths and slipcovers, add one cup of vinegar to the final rinse cycle of the washing machine. Odors magically disappear!
* Keep your pets in a safe, secure and quiet area of your home to eliminate the stress a large group of people can cause them.
