Pumpkin Guts, Candy Hands & Sticky Floors: A Halloween Cleanup Guide There’s something wonderfully messy about Halloween. Remember carving pumpkins at the kitchen table with newspapers spread underneath? Someone would draw the face, someone else would insist on doing the cutting, and before long there were pumpkin seeds everywhere and that unmistakable smell of fresh pumpkin filling the room. Then came Halloween night. Costumes pulled over winter coats. Porch lights glowing up and down the street. Pillowcases and plastic pumpkins slowly getting heavier with candy. And, of course, the great candy trade when everyone got home. “I’ll give you two Tootsie Rolls for that Reese’s.” Some traditions never change—and neither does the mess. Sticky fingers find their way onto doorknobs and light switches. Chocolate gets mysteriously smeared on the table. Pumpkin guts dry onto the counter. Leaves and dirt follow little feet through the front door. By the end of the night, the house can look like it had almost as much fun as the kids did. Fortunately, Halloween cleanup doesn’t need to be complicated. Pumpkin guts and carving messes: Scoop up the big stuff first, then wipe down the table, counters and floor. Getting to pumpkin residue while it’s still fresh is much easier than discovering a dried orange patch the next morning. Candy hands and chocolate fingerprints: Check the places little hands touch most—tables, chair backs, cabinet handles, doorknobs and light switches. A quick wipe can take care of the sticky evidence. Sticky floors: Between candy, cider, party treats and whatever came in on everyone's shoes, the kitchen and entryway usually deserve a little attention before bed. The trail from outside: Fallen leaves, dirt and bits of grass have a way of hitching a ride indoors on shoes, costumes and trick-or-treat bags. A quick sweep or vacuum keeps them from traveling through the rest of the house. And for all those washable surfaces, Kleen Green Naturally gives you a simple, plant-based way to tackle Halloween's little messes without reaching for a cabinet full of harsh cleaners. Because someday, the kids won't come home with overflowing candy buckets. There won't be pumpkin seeds scattered across the kitchen table or sticky fingerprints on every surface they pass. And, strangely enough, you might miss the mess. So enjoy the pumpkins. Sneak a piece of candy. Take too many pictures. The sticky floor will still be there tomorrow.
