Holiday Entertaining :: 5 Must-Vacuum Spots You Don’t Want to Miss

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of BISSELL Homecare, Inc.. All opinions are 100% mine.

It’s October!  And you know what that means, right?  Holiday entertaining for the next three months straight!  Halloween parties, Thanksgiving Dinner, Christmas celebrations, and New Year’s gatherings means I’ll do lots of holiday entertaining and consequently, lots of holiday cleaning!

When guests pop in to share in the holiday fun, I want my home to look its best.  This holiday season, BISSELL is helping me get the house ready before the party and clean up after!

When guests are coming over, we all vacuum, right?  But sometimes we miss spots.  And they’re often the spots that guests notice.  Here are five must-vacuum spots you don’t want to miss!

1. Chair Rails and Window Sills

Chair rails and window sills are huge dust collectors, aren’t they?  The BISSELL crevice tool makes it easy to get into the corners and ensure that all those cobwebs are gone.  After all, cobwebs are only cool at Halloween.

I love BISSELL’s Lift-Off technology and it makes it so easy to tackle the second must-vacuum spot.

2. Light Fixtures and Light Bulbs

There’s nothing worse than turning on a light at a party and illuminating a month’s worth of dust!  For hard to reach spots, BISSELL’s Lift-Off Technology is a lifesaver.  Rather than stretching an entire vacuum into an obscure area, I can rest the removable pod on the table while I use the long-stretch hose to vacuuum the dust off the chandeliers.  Now I have no excuse for dusty lights!

3. Out of the Way Spaces

You know that spot behind the toilet?  Or the corner behind the bathroom door?  The one you only notice when the door is closed?  Whatever space you think your guests won’t notice is usually the space they notice.  Am I right?  One time we had overnight company and I scrubbed every shower except one, knowing there was no chance they’d use my teen son’s shower.  Guess which shower they used?  Always clean the spot you think the guests will never see {smile}.

4. Nooks and Crannies

You know all those weird places that dust loves to collect?  A swipe of this lightweight vacuum can make those spots look better quickly.

5. Under the Furniture

Our couch is a sectional that can be separated and moved into different positions.  Perfect for a party, right?  Unless someone moves it and finds popcorn and dust bunnies under there {not that that’s ever happened … wink}.  And for the furniture that won’t be moved?  My BISSELL slides far underneath to get rid of the dirt and the swivel steering means I can maneuver it easily.  The sealed system ensures no loss of suction and cleaner carpets and floors.
