Weiman Products offers timely ways consumers can eliminate some of the holiday stress before the season even starts:

1.) Clean the refrigerator: Take advantage of Clean Your Refrigerator Day today and clean the icebox before it is loaded with turkey, mashed potatoes and all of those holiday treats. Start by removing the shelving and drawers, spray down the interior with a solution of 1-cup water and 1-teaspoon dishwashing liquid. Clean condiment tops, and do not forget to clean the outside of the doors. To help repel fingerprints from all of the guests going into the refrigerator, use a cleaner like Weiman Stainless Steel Wipes.

2.) Polish the silver: After spending a year in storage, silver serving pieces and candlesticks may become dusty or tarnished. Use a silver polish like Wright's Silver Cream, which is safe to use on silver pieces that come in contact with food.

3.) Clean the fireplace and stock up on wood/propane: Place newspaper around the fireplace to protect the floor and shovel ashes into a bag. Use a vacuum to pick up the remaining lightweight ashes. For glass doors, scrape off any baked-on soot with a razor and use a vinegar-water solution of 1/2-cup vinegar to 1-gallon water to clean the glass. Stock up on wood and fire starters or check the propane tank to ensure the fire will burn brightly throughout the holiday season.

4.) Prepare the guestroom: Wash the bedding, clean up pet hair to avoid allergic reactions and dust drawers and closets in the guestroom. For wood surfaces such as dressers and nightstands, use a cleaner like Weiman Furniture Wipes to remove any dust, dirt and grime that accumulated and give furniture a brilliant shine.

5.) Make room for guest coats and shoes: Place extra hangers in the hall closet and make room, if necessary, to accommodate guests’ bulky jackets. Also, add a welcome mat to help stop dirt and water from entering the home.
