The holidays are considered a magical time and a chance to wind down, but the clean up that follows can be painful for the host. At FILA, we understand kitchens undergo a lot of punishment during this time and so we want to make it easy for you. Get a headstart and follow these tips &#8211; here\u2019s our Christmas Kitchen Survival Guide!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Start with a clean slate<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One of the busiest times of the year, post-Christmas cleaning should always be thought about upfront. By stocking up on the right cleaning essentials, you\u2019ll be prepared for your guests and ready to tackle anything that the day brings. It\u2019s also a good idea to make sure the kitchen is already clean to make things easy; there\u2019s nothing worse than trying to manoeuvre around a pile of dirty plates. We\u2019d also suggest giving kitchen worktops like marble a coat of stone sealer to protect them from unfortunate staining.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Protect vulnerable surfaces with a stone sealer<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you know your worktops are usually sealed but it\u2019s been a fair while, there\u2019s no time like the holidays to re-apply a stone sealer. Using a sealant will protect your kitchen worktop from stains, oil and water, all of which can potentially cause irreversible damage.<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.filasolutions.com\/eng\/products\/full-range\/protectors\/stain-protectors\/mp90-eco-xtreme\" rel=\"nofollow \">MP90 ECO XTREME<\/a><\/strong> is compatible with marble and granite to waterproof, protect worktop surfaces and facilitate cleaning. With this product, stains cannot ruin the look of your stone, plus they\u2019ll be easy to clean &#8211; just keep a handy quartz cleaner nearby.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tidy as you cook<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Want a tidy kitchen this Christmas but without the hard work? Tidy as you go &#8211; we promise this works! Although it may feel like an effort at first, once the food prep is over, you\u2019ll be glad when your kitchen\u2019s still neat. A daily habit of those with clean kitchens, organising the space will give you room to breathe when the serving begins. So put those jars and packets away, load the dishwasher and don\u2019t forget to wipe up spills as soon as they happen.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Wipe up spills as they happen<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As your countertops will be in constant use, a little accident is bound to happen. Whether it\u2019s a splash of coffee or grease from the food, it\u2019s vital to wipe surfaces if you spot a smear. Our quartz cleaner, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.filasolutions.com\/eng\/products\/full-range\/cleaning-products\/ready-to-use\/filarefresh\" rel=\"nofollow \">REFRESH<\/a><\/strong>, is the one for the job for the daily care of surfaces treated with waterproofing products. It may be gentle, but it renews and maintains stain-proofing protection, and because it doesn\u2019t need rinsing, a quick wipe down is very easy to do!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The secret weapon for hard to clean stains!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Although stains should be cleaned right away, it\u2019s not always the case &#8211; you don\u2019t have a pair of eyes in the back of your head. So if it\u2019s looking like a stain is dried on and proving hard to remove, at FILA, we have a range of stain products for when the party is over. Tackle grease and fatty stains with FILA\u2019s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.filasolutions.com\/eng\/products\/full-range\/cleaning-products\/stain-removers\/filanospot\" rel=\"nofollow \">NOSPOT<\/a><\/strong>, a stain-removing spray that can be used on natural stone, quarry tiles and concrete. Additionally, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.filasolutions.com\/eng\/products\/full-range\/cleaning-products\/stain-removers\/filasr95\" rel=\"nofollow \">SR95<\/a><\/strong> is great for coloured stains like tea and red wine (it just won\u2019t reverse the etching effect that the acid in red wine can have on marble).<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The MARBLE RESTORER for festive accidents<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re faced with a glass of spilt drink, red wine is the worst, especially if your worktops are marble. Red wines have an acidic makeup, like fizzy drinks, and when these acids come into contact with marble, they can cause etching. There\u2019s no need to despair, however, because our masterful team have developed an easy to use product. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.filasolutions.com\/eng\/products\/full-range\/cleaning-products\/stain-removers\/filamarble-restorer\" rel=\"nofollow \"><strong>MARBLE RESTORER<\/strong><\/a> can be used to revive natural stone surfaces that have been the victim of spills, including worktops, window sills and tables.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Have a post-Christmas dinner wipe down<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Once Christmas dinner is done, it\u2019s tempting to wait, but that will only make the job harder. So gather together your helpers and let\u2019s get to work &#8211; it should be easy with all the prep you have done. With <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.filasolutions.com\/eng\/products\/full-range\/cleaning-products\/ready-to-use\/filabrio\" rel=\"nofollow \">BRIO<\/a><\/strong>, you won\u2019t be scrubbing away at kitchen worktops; this cleaner cuts through grease like a dream on all surfaces. This quartz cleaner can also be used for stainless steel taps, hobs, splashbacks and glass for that post-Christmas kitchen shine!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Indulge in a deeper Boxing Day clean<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Christmas means spending more time in the home and is the perfect excuse to tackle those tacks you\u2019ve been meaning to do.
