Brightly lit-up streets, guilt-free indulgences, and festive spirit: What’s not to love about Diwali? But to welcome both Goddess of wealth and prosperity and even your guests, deep cleaning and disinfection is a must
Diwali is India’s most anticipated and celebrated festival, a time to feast and reunite with friends and family. A lot of customs are associated with this festival, and house cleaning before Diwali is a ritual that Indian households follow to welcome Goddess Lakshmi & Lord Ganesha. Despite the fact that we have been cleaning every year, we still feel overwhelmed and worn out. The key is to identify areas that require decluttering and deep cleaning.
When it comes to hassle-free cleaning and disinfection, ITC Savlon is there to help you. Here are some easy tips to ensure that you have a vibrant and properly cleaned home just in time for the festival.
Decluttering: This is possibly one of the best times to get rid of unwanted or damaged items. Some of the common areas that require decluttering are kitchen, living room, and bathrooms. The key is to follow the “one-year rule”: everything you haven’t used in the past year won’t be useful to you going forward either.
Sprucing up your living rooms: Ahead of Diwali, we often indulge in a quick makeover of our living areas. At times, buying new furniture, sofas, etc. gets beyond your budget, so, indulging in fabric covers instead is the best option. By adding some colour to your home you can give it a new look.
While you move around the furniture or add new drapes, make sure you spray them down with a surface disinfectant spray regularly since they are difficult to clean and hard to wash. These things are difficult to wash and a spray is convenient for that bi-weekly disinfection. The need for germ protection becomes high especially when you have a lot of guests over. Savlon Surface Disinfectant Spray is well known for killing 99.9% odour causing molds and fungi^. Savlon Surface Disinfectant Spray has fresh fragrance notes and it leaves behind a pleasant smell. It is suitable to use on a variety of fabrics – nylon, rayon, velvet, rexin, faux, felt, vinyl, cotton, polyester, linen, wool*. The surface disinfectant spray air dries and doesn’t need to be wiped off.
Create a green space: Cleanliness not only drives away the negativity but is also liked by Goddess Lakshmi and is said to visit only those houses that are always clean. So, while you’re deep cleaning your abodes, introducing some greenery in your living spaces can do wonders. And they’re not as heavy on your pockets as other décor items. Indoor plants like English ivy, bamboo palms, and snake plants don’t just enhance the aesthetic appeal and calm your senses but are also a good source of oxygen.
And always remember hygiene sahi toh health sahi.
