The festive period is coming up, and along with it, an endless stream of cleanup tasks, that can be even more difficult when dealing with glitter from cards and decorations.<\/p>\n

To help those worrying about needing to clean up after Christmas, Aaron Christensen, resident cleaning expert and VP of Growth at\u00a0Homeaglow, has shared three easy techniques.<\/p>\n

He explained: \u201cGlitter appears to get anywhere and everywhere after the flecks have escaped their container, and you\u2019ll likely be finding it in random places for days, weeks, and months after.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTo help avoid those, \u2018Where did that come from?\u2019 moments, there are three ways you can easily clean up glitter from decorations, cards, and gifts from your home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clean up large amounts of glitter effectively using the vacuum and damp paper method.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Firstly, dampen some kitchen paper and use it to sweep all the sparkles into one pile.<\/p>\n

Then, use your vacuum’s nozzle to suck up the entire pile, ensuring you vacuum lightly around the paper to capture any escapees.<\/p>\n

Dispose of any loose bits of glitter by folding up the damp paper and following it up with another quick vacuum.<\/p>\n

For smaller flakes left behind, try the balloon static trick, which consists of inflating a balloon and rubbing it on the carpet (or your hair) to collect a static charge.<\/p>\n

Roll the balloon over the surface you’re cleaning from glitter; it should end up looking like a sparkle-covered sphere.<\/p>\n

Dispose of the balloon by popping it in a sealed plastic bag, or hold it inside the bin and pop.<\/p>\n

Ideal for catching stubborn glitter sightings, especially on clothes, are lint rollers.<\/p>\n

Ensure your lint roller has a fresh and clean sheet on top and then glide the lint roller over the stubborn glitter or where you’ve spotted it, making sure not to press too deeply.<\/p>\n

Repeat the rolling action a couple of times to make sure you’ve picked up all the glitter.<\/p>\n

Finally, rip the sticky sheet from the roller, dispose of it, and fold it inwards to prevent any glitter from escaping.<\/p>\n
