Getting ready for Easter

Removing chocolateEaster is a messy time of year, but without doubt a great one. All that chocolate is a beautiful sight, but when children get their hands on it, it seems to get everywhere; all over their hands and mouths, and when you aren’t looking; they love to put their mucky hands all over the furniture. Wrappers are also a nightmare; children love to watch you find wrappers with melted chocolate in-between sofa cushions, stuck onto the carpet and in the most unlikely of places.

So what can you do?

Be prepared and on the lookout for what your children could be doing this Easter. If you are cautious over your carpets, Prochem Neutral Pro Spotter is what you need. It is a general stain remover that can tackle most food, drink and water based stains, but the best benefit of this product is that it is a WoolSafe approved maintenance product. 

When it comes to your sofas, spot clean by dabbing a little bit of water on the stain, but be careful not to come in contact with any zips, as this could result in rusting. If your furniture is made from synthetic fibres such as polyester, it should be easy to clean. However, if it is made out of more than 50% cotton or Haitian, then a professional clean will be needed. When it comes to cleaning a leather sofa, the best products for your to use are HG Deep Cleaner for leather and HG 4 in 1 for leather. For instructions on how to use these products, take a look at Leather Cleaning Tips on Click Cleaning’s Tips and Advice page.

The easiest part of the house for you to clean, are countertops and other surfaces a like; with the simple use of a multi-purpose spray; it will be gleaming with just one stroke (depending how long the chocolate has been there for).

However, the best precaution of them all is to make sure you have stocked up on refuse sacks and bin liners, you never know how much chocolate your children will receive and how much mess they will make with the wrappers. 

Whatever you are planning this Easter, have a fantastic one.
