BBQ Party Checklist

Posted on April 30, 2019 by Elsie Posted in Cleaning, Family, Home & Garden

This season is considered to be the best season for outdoor parties like BBQ party. And here we prepared a checklist you can use to make sure that your fun time will run smoothly and hassle-free as possible from the preparation up to the after party clean up.

Party Preparations

Tip #1: Choose the perfect spot

Sure your party is set to be held outdoors and you are totally okay with the heat of the sun. However, wouldn’t it be more fun if you’ll set up your grills where your kitchen is also accessible or where your guests can easily excuse themselves to the washroom? And when we say “perfect spot” it is the area that you can easily clean before and after the party.

Tip #2: Clean your party area

The patio is meant for outdoor parties however not all patio is designed with tiles that you can easily clean with your mop. Some patios are made with wooden floors that require extra care when cleaning. And others are made with rough bricks that trap a lot of soil and are often covered with moss after winter, and this type of flooring is best cleaned with the jet wash. It is important to thoroughly clean your patio’s floor to avoid accidents especially if you have kids around.

Tip #3: Clean your BBQ or Oven Grills

We understand that it is not easy to clean a carbon coated BBQ or grills. However, you need to make sure that they are all clean before you use them. The residue of carbon in your grills can contaminate the food you will cook and cause a health risk to your family and your guests.

Tip #4: Make a guests list

This will give you an idea of how much and what kind of food you need to prepare to make sure that everyone will enjoy the party. Besides party is about having fun, right? A guest list is also economically smart so you can work out your budget because having fun doesn’t always mean you need to overspend.

After Party

Tip #1: Sort the leftovers

Don’t just throw away all the leftovers. There are lots of recipes you can come up with leftover grilled meat, just make sure to store them properly and put them in the fridge.

Tip#2: Throw all the unnecessary clutter

Sometimes it is so tempting to save the decors or some paper cups or paper plates after the party. But ask yourself are you planning to use those paper cups or plates anytime soon? Or are you planning to host another BBQ Party with the same theme that you really need to keep the decors? If your answer to those questions is NO, then you don’t have any reason to keep them.

Your dirty carpet may produce unpleasant odours which can travel throughout your house to affect the whole environment.

The dirt and dust accumulated in your dirty carpet will also spoil other furniture lying in your home. These dust build-ups can make your furniture look old too early like your carpet.

Other Harmful Intruders

Unfortunately, plenty of creepy little things love consuming rotting organic matter. Insects thrive on a concoction of food residue, pet, and other insects.

They remove all the problems listed in this article below:

A few days ago I visited different forums about carpet cleaning. And one of the topics that catch my attention is this “How often should you hire a professional carpet technician to have your carpet cleaned?” Some of the answers surprised me because there are people who let their carpets untreated for more than a year. Someone even admitted that they haven’t called a professional carpet cleaner ever since their carpet was installed four years ago. Because they vacuum their carpet once or twice a week they thought that it is properly “maintained”.

But let me share with you here the dangers caused by dirty carpets. And when we say “dirty carpets” it doesn’t necessarily mean carpets with a huge stain on it.”Dirty carpet” can also mean carpets that are regularly vacuumed and with no evident stains, meaning it can be those carpets that are “seemingly clean”. Because carpet cleaning is actually beyond what our eyes can see. Here are some of the reasons why a dirty carpet turns out to be a serious health hazard.

Fatigue & Weak Immune System

Long exposure to the unclean environment directly affects stress level and can increase it to a certain level where your immune system is weakened which makes you more susceptible to sickness.

Allergies

Dirty carpets make the perfect breeding ground for dust mites and other microscopic pests, which are the leading cause of allergic reactions. These allergies can manifest as mild symptoms like sneezing and headaches or even fatal anaphylactic reactions in severe cases.

Respiratory Problems

Dust mites thrive on bacteria and fungi, making dirty carpets the perfect breeding ground for them. When inhaled, they can cause flu-like symptoms and other respiratory problems. In other instances, this could also trigger asthma attacks.

Bacteria

SALMONELLA – This bacteria is often spread to your carpet by tracking in faeces, from people and our animals. Salmonella infections can result in fever and abdominal cramping.

dust mites

CAMPYLOBACTER – Campylobacter is commonly found in moist or damp carpets. Campylobacter infections cause an illness called campylobacteriosis, which can lead to diarrhoea or dysentery syndrome.

E COLI – Perhaps the most notorious bacteria out there, E. coli is not to be taken lightly. E Coli can cause diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and fever. In more severe cases, it can lead to bloody diarrhoea, dehydration, or kidney failure.

Microbes

One of the most dangerous microbes that can thrive in dirty carpets is Mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are made up of different types of moulds. Exposure to mycotoxins can weaken the immune system and cause different health problems such as stomach infection, allergies, and respiratory diseases.

Virus

Norovirus is a contagious stomach and intestinal virus. It can survive in carpets for an extended period of time.

Kawasaki Syndrome

This is an illness that can cause physical disabilities and severe health issues. It occurs when people breathe in bacteria and chemical toxins found in the carpet that adhere to their lungs.

Now, will you still take for granted carpet cleaning? We hope not. A regular vacuum cleaning is good to maintain the cleanliness of the carpet’s surface. But a deep carpet cleaning like the one that uses Hot Water Extraction Method at least once every six months will give you peace of mind that none of those mentioned intruders will thrive underneath your carpet and jeopardise the health of your family.
