Holi without colours loses all its meaning. But hey, if you do not exercise caution you expose your home to serious damage. But how can you protect your home from Holi colours? Let’s find out!
Protect your Wall
Be it the outside boundary or the inside walls, they are most vulnerable to Holi stains. Using anti-stain varnish before the festival can save them from being disfigured. Placing the furniture against the walls can be another way to protect them as people then would not be able to touch the walls even accidentally. If the colours find their way despite all the precautions then wipe the colours immediately with a light mixture of bleach and water. Covering exterior walls during the festival would protect them from the colours of Holi.
Protect your Furniture
Covering furniture with an old and used bed or plastic sheets will protect them from holi stains. In case your furniture gets stained then the best thing would be to clean them instantly. Applying hydrogen peroxide on stains with the help of a sponge or a cloth would clean up the Holi colours that can disfigure your furniture. Stashing away fragile and valuable items in an almirah or cupboard during the celebration would protect them from being damaged in commotion.
Protect your Bathroom & Fixtures
The bathroom is where you and your guests would wash the colours on their bodies. It is important to avoid touching the fixtures to avoid them from getting coloured and soiled. Applying petroleum jelly or oil on the fixtures before bathing would also be a good idea as then the colours can come off easily. You can spare yourself the time and effort, by bathing in the tub which would protect the floor from getting stained.
Protect your Floor
Avoid playing colours inside your home if you have marble or light-colored flooring. Some colours can leave permanent stains disfiguring your floor forever. When coming in after celebrations do not forget to use newspapers or doormats to create a path leading to the bathroom. This would ensure that your floor remains free from colour stains even when you celebrate to your heart’s content.
Protect your Doors & Windows
It’s not uncommon to find the doors and windows stained with Holi colours. People touch them without any care with soiled hands after the celebration. Applying a coat of turpentine oil or petroleum jelly will rid your doors and windows with no trace of stains.
