Cleaning Up After A Terrace Party

Did you have a terrace party last night with a pool and a barbecue to go with? There must be dancing, drinking and food and probably if the party had gone wild, there must be alcohol spilled on the floor.

There must be food piled up on the table and loads of dishes left to be cleaned. Cleaning up after party is the worst part of throwing a party.

Cleaning Up After A Terrace Party

In this article, we shall talk on a few terrace party ideas which needs less cleaning up. The ideas are such that you will not need to worry of the after party mess that generally happens a lot in terrace parties. So, next time you have a party, you can use some quirky ideas to theme your party with a minimal cleaning up after party.

QUICK & EASY GARNISHING IDEAS

Use Maximum Disposables - To reduce cleaning up after party, make sure you use disposable plates for food and glasses for drinks. This will make the work easy as you will not have a pile of dishes to wash the next day. All you have to do is provide a bin for storing up the used disposables and the next day, you can just throw them away. You can also include spoons and forks which are disposable and make cleaning up after party easier.

Avoid Pool Parties - Including swimming pool is a fun terrace party idea, but do you really want to clean up the spilled water from the pool on the floor and on the furniture too? That is a tiring cleaning up after party which you must avoid. So, arrange for some games and make the party fun instead of adding a swimming pool.

No alcohol while dancing - Parties should be without rules but this one is important if you want to reduce the cleaning up after party. People tend to get drunk, lose senses and spill away their drinks when dancing. This is definitely going to add up in the cleaning up after party. So, use a simple rule and politely ask everyone to finish their drinks before they go on the floor. This is one of the best ways to avoid a lot of trash in the party but keep the party happening and going.

Keep Bins - It might so happen that there are leftovers in the plates of your guests. Of course, you cannot force your guests to eat whatever is served on the plate. Therefore, keep separate bins for food leftovers and for the disposables. This will help you to do the dumping easily without any mess in the bins. The bins should be large and should have a bag placed inside so that you directly take the bag and dump it in a waste carrier. This is a great way to minimise the cleaning up after party.

Use a floor washer - Once the party is over and you are done with dumping the waste and dusting the furniture, you need to clean the floors. For this, you need to sprinkle some detergent powder all over the floor and use a water pipe to pour water all over. This will help you to clean the full area together without any other efforts.
