With December upon us, the excitement for sorting the Christmas decorations is mounting.
And a TikTok cleaning sensation has shared her tips on how to “get your house Christmas ready” by starting with an essential deep clean.
But honestly, think about it: when was the last time you really gave your place a thorough scrub?
If it’s been a long while, you’ll likely want to tackle that before hanging up your tinsel and looping holly around.
The popular TikTok user @cleaningwithdanielled has planned to put her Christmas tree up this weekend after initiating “operation deep clean has commenced”. She’s dubbed herself a “woman on a mission” in her quest to get her home sparkling clean, knowing decorations will remain untouched for the upcoming festive period.
“So first up is the living room,” she said, beginning by vacuuming the sofa inside-out to make sure it’s pristine pre-Christmas. With humour on her sleeve, she joked about being a “strong independent woman” who “didn’t need no man” as she muscled through moving her furniture to scrub every nook and cranny.
Post-dusting her photo frames, she anticipated a disaster but was relieved to see it wasn’t as horrific as expected, easing her deep-cleaning crusade. Danielle lauded one specific product for deep-cleaning use: the Spanish Cleaner in Ropa Limpia, attributing its “insane” scent to her cleaning success.
After giving her floor a thorough mop and replacing the rug, she commented that it was “now it’s nice and clean”. She went on to say: “I’ve not had my steam cleaner in a while, so I thought, you know what? Let’s steam this sofa and get it all nice and fluffy and smelling fresh again.”
Danielle also tackled the rest of her furniture, adding with a hint of humour: “It’s at times like these that I’m grateful for a small living room”, before revealing that the tidy-up took her “an hour”.
Online followers were impressed by her speed, expressing disbelief about her doing it “in one hour”. Excitement bubbled among her fans with some saying they “can’t wait to see her tree” and others requesting: “Make melts in Roma Limpa.”
The curiosity didn’t end there; several commenters were eager to learn more about the origins of her home decor items.
