The Key To Keeping Your Wood Floors Clean During Parties

Summer and graduation session are both slowly approaching, and that means so are celebration parties! Even though parties spread joy and love, they can also be a big headache when it comes to messes and cleaning up afterwards. But don't be afraid to throw a party of your own during these exciting upcoming weeks, below we have two tips to keep your floors clean, giving you more time for fun and less of a headache.

Ask Your Guests To Take Off Their Shoes 

This can be a tough one, especially if you have many guests that aren't in the ritual of taking off their shoes when they enter a house. If that is the case you can DIY a cute sign by the front door nicely reminding people, or create a theme around it where everyone at the party is wearing fun socks or slippers. Either way don't back off from reminding people to take off their shoes, it's essential in keeping your floors clean. 

Keep Cleaning Supplies Handy

Even though spills are inconvenient they do happen and it is important to be prepared for them. You want to keep ways for people to clean up their messes, such as towels and cleaning solution, out in the open so that they can grab it whenever the spill happens. It's frustrating to be hosting a party and continuously getting told there is a mess here and a spill there, because the next thing you know you're running around cleaning up instead of enjoying yourself. Make it easy for people to clean their own messes and keep supplies handy.
