🧧 8 Housekeeping Tips for CNY!

With friends and relatives visiting throughout the festive season, Chinese New Year (CNY) is one of the busiest times at home. While the house can get messy fast, you still want it to look welcoming, fresh and presentable.

A little preparation goes a long way. Here are 8 simple housekeeping tips to keep your home clean, hygienic and guest-ready throughout CNY.

1) Start with Decluttering

Less clutter = faster cleaning + house looks instantly more “new year ready”.

Before you start wiping or mopping, clear out:

  • old papers & packaging
  • unused or broken decor
  • items you don’t want guests to see
  • expired or unwanted household items

đź“Ś Tip: Declutter room by room instead of all at once to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

2) Focus on High-Touch Areas

CNY visits means many hands touching the same surfaces throughout the day. So make sure to keep these surfaces clean!

Pay extra attention to:

  • door handles
  • light switches
  • remote controls
  • dining table edges
  • fridge handles

📌 Tip:  Use Kleenso Kill Germs Disinfectant to wipe these areas regularly, keeping your home fresh + hygienic for guests.

3) Deep Clean the Kitchen

For many homes, CNY means serious cooking! Grease and spills build up quickly, so the kitchen deserves extra care.

Key areas to tackle:

  • stove & backsplash
  • greasy cabinets
  • sink & countertops
  • fridge interior

📌 Tip: Use Kleenso Kitchen Cleaner to cut through everyday grime. For extra stubborn grease, Kleenso Multi Action Degreaser helps remove tough stains effectively.

4) Bathroom Refresh = Instant “Clean Home” Vibe

Let’s be honest… guests are sure to notice the toilet.

Focus on:

  • toilet bowl
  • sink & mirror
  • floor corners
  • drainage smell

đź“Ś Tip: Kleenso 3x Power Toilet Cleaner, Serai Wangi Smell Remover and Kleenso Anti-Dust Glass Cleaner are your friends!

5) Mop Floors Last (So It Stays Clean Longer)

Always clean in this order:

Declutter → Wipe surfaces → Sweep → Mop

This prevents dust and dirt from settling back onto freshly mopped floors.

đź“Ś Tip: Use Kleenso Tea Tree Oil Floor Cleaner or Kleenso Serai Wangi Liquid Wax Floor Cleaner for a longer lasting clean thanks to its anti-dust properties.

6) Don’t Forget Fabrics (They Trap Odours!)

Fabrics absorb:

  • food smells
  • perfume
  • shoe odour
  • humidity

Target:

  • sofa
  • curtains
  • cushions
  • carpets

✨ Fresh home = not just clean surfaces, but clean “air” too.

đź“Ś Tip: Open windows daily and remove strong fabric odours with Kirinzu Nano Silver Deodorizer.

7) Keep hands clean too!

With frequent eating, greeting and sharing, hand hygiene is just as important as surface cleanliness.

đź“Ś Tip: Place handwash or sanitiser near sinks and dining areas to encourage frequent hand cleaning for both family and guests.
