Dust Everything With This Handy Duster

One of the best chemist cleaning hacks for the holiday season is to dust everything really well. Utilize the scientific power of static electricity and micro-physical trapping with this  handy dusting tool.  Our original post on this went viral because it works so well and so quick.

Mix Up A Batch Of Homemade All-Purpose Christmas Cleaner

I love this  science-based all-purpose cleaner with a wonderful Christmas scent. You can use this to quickly clean all of your counters, sinks, appliances, and anything else needing a touch up. What makes this DIY cleaning spray so great is you only need a few ingredients and it works for almost all surfaces around your home.

If you are more of an autumn scent person, you can also make our  homemade autumn cleaner recipe found here. This uses more of an autumn scent (pumpkins, apples).

Quick DIY Blind Cleaner

When it comes to having guests over or putting up decorations, you don’t want dust on your blinds. Make this simple mix to clean them. It melts dust off the blinds much quicker than just using a microfiber:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup white  distilled vinegar (5% acidity)
• 1/4 tsp  blue Dawn
• Basic spray bottle

Directions for mixing DIY Blind Cleaner Spray:

1. In your spray bottle, combine the water, vinegar, and dish soap.

This spray is my tip for when your blinds are super dirty, and vacuuming and microfiber aren’t doing the job. I spray the blinds or spray a microfiber cloth, then wipe down. It dissolves dust and dirt quickly, so there isn’t much rubbing needed. I have used so many different homemade sprays for blinds to see which did the best, and this one cleaned the quickest!

Microwave Steam Bomb

Put a bowl of water with lemon slices and 1 cup of vinegar, microwave until boiling, then let it sit in the microwave for a minute. Remove the bowl of hot vinegar/water mix then wipe out the microwave with a microfiber cloth.

Why it works: Steam + acid softens grime molecularly, so a single wipe does the trick.

Holiday Simmer Pot

Simmer citrus peels, cloves, and cinnamon sticks in water make the perfect christmas scent combination. Make this  amazing recipe readers love for a quick holiday aroma for your home.

Get Your Freezer Ready

Before loading up your freezer for the holidays, quickly remove frost. Spray hot vinegar water inside, close the door for 5 minutes, then wipe clean.

The science behind this is that acetic acid lowers the freezing point of water, helping ice melt faster without scraping.

Freshen Fridge

Also get your refrigerator ready for holiday cooking and baking with this  quick DIY cleaner made specifically for refrigerators. And then mix up a bowl of baking soda and chamomile tea leaves and set it in the refrigerator after cleaning. This keeps the air fresh and helps deodorize.

Table Cloth Freshening

If your tablecloth is wrinkled or smells musty from storage:

1. Toss it in the dryer with a damp towel and 2 tablespoons of white vinegar on the towel.
2. Run on medium heat for about 10–15 minutes.
3. Remove immediately and smooth it over the table while still warm.

 Why it works: The steam loosens hydrogen bonds in fabric fibers (which cause wrinkles), and the acetic acid in vinegar helps relax the fibers even more — like a mini fabric conditioner. The result is fresh, crisp, and guest-ready tablecloths with zero ironing.

There are so many things to deep clean before the holiday, but utilizing these chemist tips for holiday cleaning is a great way to tackle the obvious things before guests come or even just before you decorate. Starting with a clean surface is the best way to enjoy the holiday season!
