Yeye, the colorful and the most vibrant festival of India, Holi is just around the corner and we all have started gearing up for the unlimited fun. The time to celebrate to the fullest while playing with 'Gulaal', dance on “Paan Banaras Vala” and making mouth-watering delicacies like ‘Gujias’ or ‘Malpuas’ in your home.

But what would happen after this madness wears out? It arouses the biggest challenge of a completely messed-up home. This serious mess of Holi colors all-around your home interiors as well as outdoors, sometimes leave permanent stains (if colors are not organic). However, it may not be possible to protect your home completely when festivities are in full swing. So, don’t worry, as WoodenStreet is here with the most beneficial Post- Holi cleaning ideas for your home interiors. So, without wasting a minute, let’s look at DIY ways in which you can get rid of stubborn colors quickly.

Walls

Wall hangings, artful paintings, photos, wall shelves are the common items used for styling and decorating your home. But, when it comes to Holi colors, walls are at the mercy of the blemished part of the interiors. Whether it would be dry or wet stains, painting the walls as well as losing the natural beauty of your wall decorative accessories could be an expensive offer.

A Pro Tip: Mix 1 cup of white vinegar, one-quarter cup of club soda and warm water. After the solution is ready, simply dip in the sponge to wipe the stains from walls and related accessories. Make sure the soda used isn’t concentrated much, which can lead to affect the color and beauty of walls.

Living Room Furniture

Your living room is the welcoming zone for the guests during the festivals. Thus, we decorate it with bright, colorful hues to add a zing and draw the attention of many eyeballs.

And you all know that, Holi is the time to visit everyone’s home, enjoy some lip-smacking dishes and sweets, play with colors and celebrate to the fullest. As, this occasion is all about new beginnings! Hence, removing out all the color stains from your expensive furniture like sofa, lounge chair etc. could be a troublesome task.

A Pro Tip: Clean your wooden furniture with varnish to keep the color of the wood finish intact. Also, for upholstered furniture, try soaking the affected area in white vinegar for about 15 minutes and then wipe it off with a cotton ball. Make sure you dry the area well afterwards to avoid fungal growth. If the furniture like center table, dining table or nest of tables has a glass surface, then use a mixture of water and baking soda to wipe off the stains.

Flooring

Why should your floor remain plain and unattractive during the Holi Ustav? It’s time to decorate them with beautiful and stunning rugs and carpets. We know that it is the most painful task to clean up the rugs and carpets after Holi as colors inevitably leave stains on, making them look dirty. But, thankfully not to worry now, as we are here to help!

A Pro Tip: Vacuuming is the easiest and quick way to clean the carpet or rug. In case you don’t have a vacuum cleaner, make a solution of warm water, shampoo and detergent. Wash the carpet through this solution and use a long soft hair brush for it. Make sure that the water direction should be proportional to the pile's direction.

Curtains

Draping your windows and doors with pretty and colorful curtains makes your home look inviting and beautiful. Hence, after Holi, it needs equal priority to clean all the stains and colors without mislaying the beautiful appearance.

A Pro Tip: Gently soak the curtains in water with white vinegar or lemon juice, leave it for 15 minutes and then wipe off the area with a soft cotton ball.

Bathroom Decor

Like the floor, your bathroom and other accessories, including cabinets, mirrors etc. also go through an unavoidable stain saga post celebration.

A Pro Tip: You can protect your bathroom fixture by smearing them with petroleum jelly. Another tip is to take a bath after the enjoyment in a tub instead of the shower. Thus, this will save the time and effort of cleaning the bathroom later.

In the end, just remember that the quick action of cleaning is the key to success. The longer you take the time to remove the stains, the harder it would be to remove them. But don’t forget to miss out the festivity and celebrations while safeguarding your home interiors shine from these colorful stains.
