Frantically trying to get your home spic and spac, especially for your holiday company. So, as a gift to you, SERVPRO of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties wants to provide you with some holiday cleaning hacks for your home.

Carpet Cleaning Hacks

• If you have wax on your carpets, place a slightly damp towel on the wax. Next, place an iron on top of the towel for approximately 10-60 seconds (use best judgment). Then remove. Keep checking until the wax is completely removed.
• Got kiddos? If you do, chances are, you have gum or crayon stains on your carpets/floors. SERVPRO of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties has effective SERVPRO specialized products designed just for those needs. Contact us to see how we will make it “Like it never even happened.”

Upholstery Cleaning Hacks

• Need to clean off animal hair from your favorite couch or loveseat? Simply use a squeegee to extract the hairs from the upholstery, then vacuum.
• To get rid of smelly odors on your upholstery, sprinkle baking soda on it. Let is sit for approximately 20-30 minutes, then vacuum.

Garbage Disposal Odor Cleaning Hacks

• If your garbage disposal is giving off an odorous smell, simply place an orange or lemon down the drain. And, voila, it’s like the smell never even happened.
• To get rid of a smelly stench, sprinkle about a half-cup of baking soda into the disposal, followed by a cup of white or apple cider vinegar. Let the mixture bubble up and sit for 5-10 minutes. Then, turn on the disposal and run water to distribute the mixture throughout the unit. This is a great deodorizer.
