Halloween is a time for spooky fun and plenty of sweet treats, but once the cobwebs (real and fake!) have settled, it can also leave behind a frightening mess.
Whether you’ve hosted an office party, decorated your workplace, or simply enjoyed a pumpkin-filled October, cleaning up afterwards doesn’t have to be a horror story.
Here are our top Halloween cleaning tips to keep your office or business looking its best after the celebrations.
4 Halloween Cleaning Tips
After-Party Decorations
Halloween decorations look fantastic, but fake cobwebs, glitter, and streamers can be tricky to clear up. Start by gently pulling down larger items instead of tearing them off walls, this avoids marks or damage to paintwork. For glitter, use a lint roller or even a damp microfibre cloth to pick up stubborn sparkles lurking on desks and carpets.
Tackling Stains
Spilled drinks, chocolate fingerprints, and stray sweets can leave their mark. For carpets, blot (don’t rub!) with a clean cloth and mild soap solution.
On hard surfaces, a gentle all-purpose cleaner should lift most stains. The key is acting quickly; those spooky stains won’t linger if you deal with them straight away.
Wax Removal
Candles may set the mood, but wax drips are less charming. If wax has spilled onto a surface, place a paper towel over the area and gently run a warm iron across it. The heat will soften the wax, allowing the paper towel to absorb it.
Disposing of Pumpkins
Carved pumpkins don’t last long, and once the spooky season is over, it’s time to clear them away. Instead of throwing them in general waste, check if your local council offers food waste collection. Pumpkins can also be composted, just be sure to remove candles or decorations first.
