It’s that time of the year again… The craziness and celebration of Christmas.
Crowded stores, Christmas decorations, screaming kids running around the house and… messy kitchens!
Messy kitchens… Why? Because the holiday is all about yummy food, right?
Christmas is about keeping traditions and cooking delicious meals, well… for my family at least.
We end up spending hours in the kitchen preparing a feast for Christmas lunch!
It’s great celebrating but to be honest, the cleaning at the end of it sucks!
Almost every week during December, there’s a get together at my house. Baking, Arts & crafts and lots of pool parties!
My helper will be going on holiday soon which means that I will be spending a lot of time cleaning every day and on my own – with two kids who love to mess while I clean!
The cleaning has always made the holidays frustrating for me…
Well this year, I got someone to help me… especially with the greasy ovens and doughy table tops….
I got… Mr Muscle 5-in-1 cleaner.
I refuse to feel overwhelmed on my favourite holiday.
So I’ve decided on some ‘life hacks’ – even if it is just for my own sanity.
5 Tips on how to keep your home clean during the festive season:
- Plan a cleaning schedule and set mini goals. So what if my house gets a bit messy. You are visiting me – not my house – Right?
- Get the family involved and allocate chores to each member. Make cleaning fun, yes even toddlers can dust.
- Break it down – focus on one room every day plus the kitchen (This needs to be cleaned daily).
- Reward yourself for completing a task. Maybe a glass of wine? 😉
- Invest in products that will help you clean quicker.
This is why Mr Muscle 5-in-1 will be my best friend during the holidays.
- It removes tough grease & grime.
- It disinfects by killing 99.99% of viruses and bacteria on hard, non-porous surfaces.
- It can be used on worktops, tiles, sinks and work spaces which is why it’s so convenient to have at home during the holidays.

With the Mr Muscle 5-in-1 kitchen cleaner, I won’t have to spend hours scrubbing my kitchen tiles and workspace during a party. I can spend more time celebrating with my family and less time cleaning.
Christmas shouldn’t be about dreading the aftermath, so let’s leave that to Mr Muscle who knows what he is doing and get back to doing what the holiday is known for! Feasting, bonding and lots of laughs!

I laugh when I look at the old advert – honestly, I need a superhero to clean my kitchen – especially after cooking Christmas lunch. I don’t even want to think about roasts and the fat drippings, spilt gravy, smashed pumpkin that the kids have stepped on left beautiful orange marks on my white tiles.
Of course, this would get Kiaan’s attention and he would want to touch…. Need I go on….

Well, this Christmas, I am going to invest in products that will make my life a little easier at home.
I choose to dance in the rain, have fun with my kids, laugh at the water dripping after a dip in the pool, slide in the lounge, crawl on the floor, explore, experiment, laugh and live.
I choose the superhero in my home. Shouldn’t you?

These are great tips. I love the holidays, but they can be murder on the house. Thanks so much!
The holidays are always in full swing when I realize my house is a mess. People coming and going, and so much to do. It leaves little time to actually clean.
Oh my goodness, your little girl is so adorable! And such pretty Christmas decor. Thanks for the tips!
Cleaning double time since mid-December. With more people and dogs trekking through the house – means more dirt, naturally. I don’t mind the cleaning up though, means good memories were had, right?
I’m really glad that you shared it, it’s really important to e clean your home during holidays.
This is really useful tips! I need to clean our house this weekend because of recently holidays.
This is such practical information. I struggle to keep up with my house, not only during the holidays, but after! It’s such a struggle.
It’s good to have a cleaning plan during the holidays. This year was the first time that everyone came and left and didn’t help out with the cleaning! I was cleaning for two days straight! lol

Scrap copper inspection Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity and is widely used in various electrical applications. However, when it comes to long-distance transmission lines, copper may not always be the best choice due to several reasons. Firstly, copper is heavy and dense, which makes it difficult to transport and handle, especially for long-distance transmission lines. This can result in higher transportation costs, which may not be feasible for large-scale power projects. Secondly, copper has a relatively high resistance, which can lead to energy loss in the form of heat during transmission. This means that copper transmission lines are less efficient, less cost-effective, and can result in higher energy bills for consumers. Thirdly, copper is vulnerable to corrosion, especially in harsh weather conditions, which can affect its durability and reliability. This can lead to frequent maintenance, repairs, and replacement of copper transmission lines, which can be costly and time-consuming. To overcome these issues, many transmission lines use aluminium instead of copper, as it is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and has a lower resistance than copper. Aluminium transmission lines are also cheaper and easier to manufacture, transport, and install. In conclusion, although copper is an excellent conductor of electricity, it may not always be the best choice for long-distance transmission lines. The use of aluminium has become more popular due to its lightweight, low resistance, and durability, which ultimately reduces costs and increases efficiency Scrap metal utilization center Copper wire rod recycling Copper chloride recycling Copper scrap inventory Copper scrap route optimization Metal sorting
Copper scrap circular economy Copper is an essential mineral for the global energy industry, and its role in our future energy transition cannot be underestimated. Copper is needed in order to sustainably generate clean energy and to support the electrification of transportation. The demand for copper will only continue to increase as we move towards a carbon-neutral world. One of the main uses of copper in the energy transition is in clean energy production. Copper is used extensively in renewable energy systems such as wind turbines and solar panels. Wind turbines require around 4 to 8 tons of copper per megawatt, or about 14,000 to 28,000 pounds of copper per turbine. Similarly, solar photovoltaic (PV) cells also require a significant amount of copper wiring to connect all the cells together. Copper is also essential for storing and transmitting energy, which is important for a grid that relies heavily on renewable energy sources. Large batteries, such as those used in electric vehicles and in energy storage systems for power plants, also require copper for wiring and electronic components. Copper is also used to create power transmission lines that can transport energy from renewable sources to urban areas. As we move towards a greener transportation sector, copper will become increasingly important. Electric vehicles require more copper than traditional gas-fueled cars, mainly due to the large-scale production of electric motors and battery systems. This means that the growth of electric vehicles will drive up demand for copper. However, copper mining and production is not without its environmental and social impacts. Mining can lead to deforestation, habitat destruction, and water pollution. Additionally, the social and economic benefits of copper mining are not always shared equitably with local communities and workers. To ensure a sustainable transition to a greener future that relies on copper, it will be crucial for the industry to address these social and environmental concerns. It is also important to consider alternative materials and recycling methods to reduce the demand for new copper production. In conclusion, copper is a vital component of the energy transition towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future. Its use in renewable energy, energy storage, and transportation will continue to increase, and it is important for the industry to address the potential environmental and social impacts associated with increasing copper production. While copper remains a valuable mineral for the future of energy, we must be mindful of its use and find ways to minimize its negative impacts Eco-friendly metal recovery Copper scrap transportation Copper scrap material testing Export regulations for Copper scrap Copper scrap negotiations Metal recovery and repurposing
