Holiday Cleaning Prep with Biz Stain and Odor Eliminator

The holiday season is full of surprises from gift-giving to the sparkling decor.  One of the most unexpected surprises for any mom includes household stains.

Before putting ornaments on the tree or laying out the garland, we must incorporate time to beautify the home.  A lot of household cleaners can only be used on certain surfaces.  Even worse, a few products leave a greasy film!  This defeats the purpose of cleaning at all.

Biz Stain and Odor Eliminator can be used in the bathroom, kitchen, patios, and decks.  The cleaner is perfect for shower stalls and countertops.  This is really important for my home because the kitchen counter is the central station for everything!

To create a solution, mix Biz with a bucket of warm water.  Then apply the mixture to whatever surface needs cleaning.  Afterward, do your normal wipe down.  It’s just that simple!

A really big tip if you own a garbage disposal is to pour 3/8 cups of Biz down the drain.  Let it sit for 15 minutes and flush with hot water.

Biz Stain and Odor Eliminator is a one-stop shop for cleaning your home during the holidays.  Remember, before you set the table or lay out the ornaments use Biz to clean and deodorize your home.

FIVE DECORATING TIPS FOR A CLEAN FRESH MODERN HOLIDAY SEASON

Laura Muller, the Principal Designer, and Owner of Los Angeles-based design firm, Four Point Design Build, has five easy and effective tips for decorating a perfect holiday home worthy of your in-law’s expectations. Check out these inspirational photos ALL from Laura’s personal home!

☆ Tip 1 ☆

That’s a Wrap!

For a fresh and cozy style, add a single pine cone or cedar stem to your gift wrapping. Tie packages with raw linen strips, cotton ribbon, or twine. To give a cohesive look to your whole décor, coordinate the gift wrapping details to your tablescape!

☆ Tip 2 ☆

Deck the Decor Make sure to keep your holiday color scheme clear and consistent throughout your décor. For a clean, fresh, modern look, we use white candles in clear glass. For visual interest (and for the collectors at heart), we suggest all clear glass, but mix it up in size and shape! Use assorted greens for dynamic contrast. Keep greens fresh and in the same proportion for a full and elegant display.

☆ Tip 3 ☆

Let There Be Light Place a table or desk next to a bright window and group three to five mini pine trees with gifts. Display with a collection of assorted white candles in clear glass, and stacks of holiday books for inspiration.

☆ Tip 4 ☆

Add an Easy But Noticeable Accent! Adding simple fresh stems of pine can give your kitchen countertops a cozy wintery feeling! Lace fresh stems in between canisters for a fresh touch of the holiday and fresh mini Christmas trees look perfect in white ceramic utensil crocks!

☆ Tip 5 ☆

Tabletop Trinkets When thinking about your everyday holiday table settings, start with some basic year-round pieces. A large natural grain rustic charger will ground your entire décor theme. For a clean fresh modern farmhouse style, layer with simple white pantry pieces. Once you have the basics, all you need to change from theme to theme is the napkin details!

H&M Holiday Vibes with Nicki Minaj: A Magical Holiday Video

Featured Photo and Images from HM.com

 

Nicki Minaj did an interview with H&M to get everyone excited about the holiday season. According to the site, “We love the holidays, and we love Nicki Minaj. The queen of rap needs no introduction, so instead of asking a bunch of questions about her record-breaking career, awesome rapping and singing skills and big personality, we invited her to play a game of This or That – holiday edition. Why? Because who doesn’t want to know who out of Santa, Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman she’d like to date, marry or make disappear forever?”
