Home Holiday Survival Tips

Everyone loves decorating and entertaining for the holidays, but all that activity can take a toll on your house. Here are some suggestions for repairing the damage left behind:

  • Wine Stains: Dilute red wine stains on rugs with club soda, then blot or vacuum with a wet/dry vac. Follow with 3% hydrogen peroxide mixed with dishwashing soap (test first for fading).
  • Candle Wax: Apply an ice cube to spilled candle wax on tables or floors to harden it, then carefully scrape it off with an expired gift card or dull knife.
  • Furniture Damage: Fill nicks and gouges in wood furniture with wax filler sticks or crayons that match the finish. Color minor dings with matching markers or shoe polish. Remove water stains with mayonnaise.

Attaching Lights and Decorations

To keep from damaging eaves or siding when mounting Christmas lights or other decorations, attach self-adhesive mounting brackets to your house, then use removable plastic cable ties to attach the decorations to the brackets. Leave the brackets in place when the decorations are removed to use again next year.
