12 days of Christmas Cleaning Tips:

First Day of Christmas: Clean the inside of the oven and the top of the stove. You don't want the smell of roast turkey, ham or chicken mixed with the smell of last Thursday's "meatloaf surprise."

Second Day of Christmas: Clean out your refrigerator to make room for leftovers. Make sure you have adequate storage containers and space for the extra food before the meals begin. Leave an open box of baking soda inside to absorb any odors your holiday goodies might leave behind.

Third Day of Christmas: Empty coat closets of extra outerwear like spring jackets and sweatshirts to make room for your guests' outerwear. Consider donating any outgrown apparel to a local charity organization.

Fourth Day of Christmas: Empty all trash containers. Clean and disinfect inside and out with warm, soapy water and a neutral disinfectant. Drop several extra trash liners inside each container before relining for a quick and easy way to remove future trash when it really starts to pile up.

Fifth Day of Christmas: Clean the tops of ceiling fan blades and inside ceiling lamp globes. This ensures no surprising plummeting dust bunnies!

Sixth Day of Christmas: Remove clutter from tops of kitchen counters as this gives a more open feel, plus family and friends tend to congregate in the kitchen during holiday gatherings. Find a home for mail, magazines, books and other items that tend to pile up on tables and in the home office.

Seventh Day of Christmas: Launder and press bed dressings for any overnight guests. Leave clean towels in each guest bedroom and top with a holiday candy piece or two to make your guests feel pampered.

Eighth Day of Christmas: Move furniture, like small end tables and large potted plants, to a spare room to allow for extra chairs and sitting space around the tree for opening gifts.

Ninth Day of Christmas: Dust all surfaces, including areas such as baseboards and windowsills. Pay attention to collectibles and picture frames — items you'll want to "show off" to your holiday guests.

Tenth Day of Christmas: Be sure your bathrooms meet the white-glove test. Remove personal items from countertops and clean the toilet, sink and mirror to a sparkling shine. Use window cleaner on fixtures for extra gleam!

Eleventh Day of Christmas: Vacuum home from top to bottom, paying attention to areas such as the dining room, living room and kitchen, where people will gather the most. Don't forget about your upholstery and hard-surface floors. They collect dust and dirt too!

Twelfth Day of Christmas: As your last task, set and style the table. You will be glad this is complete before the holiday becomes hectic with cooking and preparing final details for your guests' arrivals.

How to Clean and Prevent Mold in Bath Toys

If your kids are like mine, the first thing they do when you put them in the bathtub is grab their toys and put them directly in their mouths. Initially, I didn’t think this was that much of a problem until my son squeezed his rubber ducky and I noticed mold lurking in the inside of the toy. Much to my dismay, I grabbed the toy and realized I needed to get better at keeping bath toys clean. We’ve gathered up some tips from around the web and given you all you need to know to make sure that your child’s bath is good “clean” fun.

Plug the holes- Many bath toys, especially ones that sq**rt water or squeak have holes the bottom which can be a target for water to enter and mold to grow. Place a dab of hot glue on these toys before placing them in the bath and you’ll create a water-proof seal on the toy.
Boil the toys- If you didn’t get a chance to seal your child’s toys and want to make sure they are safe you can take the toys and boil them in hot water and squeeze out any of the “yuck” from the insides. Let dry thoroughly.
Bleach kills mold- Simply allow the toys to soak in a bleach bath overnight. To make, mix ¾ cup of bleach with one gallon of water. Rinse toys with water multiple times then allow to air-dry. The bleach will evaporate and all you’ll be left with are clean toys!

In the wash- Running bath toys through the dishwasher also sanitizes and kills any gunk or mold that may be growing on both the inside and out.

With all of these methods, it’s still a good idea to make sure that you throw out any toy that seems “dark” in the inside and keep the kids away from the cleaning process. Afterall, you want your child’s bath to be a place where they can get clean, not be exposed to dirty toys.
