Diwali, the festival of lights, is a time of immense happiness and joy for Indians around the world, and to get your home ready for Diwali! Beautifully decorated streets, lip-smacking dishes, and festive vibes, but don’t let all the upcoming festivities distract you! With Diwali comes the stress of home cleaning!
Hindu customs and traditions dictate that it is mandatory to have squeaky clean, and well-kept homes. It is a popular belief that Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi only bring fortune and wealth to clean and well-decorated homes.
So, even if you intend to stay out during the festival, your home needs to be spick and span! The days before Diwali is one of those times when the family members (especially moms) become frazzled and antsy with everything, often asking everyone to contribute their bit into the yearly home cleaning.
Now, I have always been a cleanliness freak, but trust me when I say Diwali cleaning is indeed a cumbersome task! So, the best way to go about it is by planning it several days in advance, delegating the tasks to other family members, and dividing each work into different sessions. Hence, the cleaning process is smooth and stress-free.
Guys, pull up your socks and get ready to clean your house to welcome the goddess of wealth and prosperity into your home this Diwali by trying out these super easy tips.
Tips to get your home cleaned and decked up for Diwali
Start your Diwali clean-up by carefully planning what all needs to be cleaned (basically the entire house!), schedule it out, and most importantly sticking to the plan.
If all goes as planned, you should be done with all the cleaning several days before the festivities begin.
De-clutter your home
The first and most important thing to do when cleaning is to remove clutter from your house. If you know that you will not be using a particular item in the near future, then it would be in your best interest to dispose of it off.
A home with lots of unnecessary clutter is bound to make your room/home look messy and unorganized.
