After the holidays, taking down decorations can feel overwhelming. But proper cleaning and storage will help your décor last longer and keep your home fresh and organized. Here’s a simple, effective guide to safely clean and store your Christmas decorations—without stress.
Before taking your tree down, always clean it from top to bottom.
Use a dry microfiber cloth to trap dust instead of spreading it.
For a deeper clean, use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment on low power.
Avoid water, especially on artificial trees, as moisture can damage branches and wiring.
👉 Pro tip: Cleaning before storage prevents dust buildup for next season.
Ornaments need extra care to avoid damage.
Golden Rule: AVOID WATER — especially on vintage or hand-painted pieces.
Use a soft, dry cloth for glass or ceramic ornaments.
Never rub glitter ornaments. Instead, use a soft brush or compressed air from a distance.
For garlands and wreaths, a hair dryer on COOL AIR works perfectly to remove dust from corners.
Lights and garlands collect dust easily while hanging.
As you untangle lights, gently wipe wires and bulbs with a nearly dry cloth.
Make sure everything is 100% dry before storing to avoid electrical issues.
Use cool air (hair dryer or air blower) to clean garlands and wreaths thoroughly.
Textiles often trap odors and moisture if stored improperly.
Wash and fully dry tree skirts, stockings, and fabric décor before storage.
Avoid very hot attics or damp basements—extreme temperatures damage glue and paint.
Use airtight, transparent plastic containers and label everything for easy access next year.
