Cleaning Made Easy for Holiday Events
The holiday season brings people together. Cafés fill with regulars meeting for warm drinks, churches host seasonal gatherings, breweries see more tasting-room traffic, and offices prepare for end-of-year celebrations. With more people moving through your space, there is also more to clean and care for. A thoughtful approach to cleaning during this time keeps your environment warm, inviting, and ready for guests without adding stress to your staff.
Instead of reacting to messes as they appear, putting the right towels in the right places helps your team keep everything looking polished through the entire event.
Begin with Glassware and Shine
During the holidays, people notice details more. Light catches on glass tabletops, drinkware, and display shelves. A streak or smudge is easier to see in winter lighting, and clean glass gives spaces a feeling of calm and care.
Recommended Products:
Blue Surgical Towels
Low-lint and smooth, these towels help glass surfaces stay crystal clear. They are ideal for bars, tasting rooms, café counters, and church kitchens where stemware, glasses, and pitchers are used often.
Microfiber Towels
If your guests handle menus, decorations, or light fixtures, consider Microfiber Towels for a quick, streak-free wipe on polished surfaces and displays.
Protect Tables, Bars, and Serving Areas Throughout the Day
Surfaces see constant use during holiday gatherings. Cups build condensation. Food service areas collect small drips and crumbs. Instead of waiting for a full cleanup, light upkeep throughout the day keeps everything feeling fresh.
New Bar Towels
Consistent in size and reliable to launder, these towels make it easy to assign specific cleaning tasks to staff members. They help keep tables tidy between seatings, maintain bar areas during service, and support back-of-house prep.
Place small stacks of Bar Towels in visible and easy-to-grab spots:
- Under the espresso machine
- At the register or host stand
- By serving stations
- On utility carts in event halls
Quick access supports consistency.
Be Ready for Spills and End-of-Day Cleanup
Every event ends the same way: gathering, celebrating, and then everything needing to be reset back to normal. Spills happen. Floors pick up moisture. Kitchens and prep stations finish strong.
Color Terry Towels are your go-to for absorbency. They make it easy to address spills quickly so they do not become larger cleanup tasks later.
White Terry Towels handle daily touch-ups and guest-facing areas where a clean, simple appearance is helpful.
Color Thermal Rags shine when dealing with kitchen equipment, brewery tanks, utility sinks, and anything that needs durable friction to remove residue.
Holiday gatherings are about comfort, connection, and hospitality. A well-planned cleaning kit supports that atmosphere by helping your staff maintain cleanliness with grace and ease. Surgical Towels and Microfiber for glass and polish. Bar Towels for ongoing touch-ups. Terry Towels and Color Thermal where spills and real work happen.
With the right materials in the right places, your space will feel welcoming from the first guest to the final close.
What is Lint Free or Low Lint?
What is the big deal with lint free wiping rags?
What is the big deal with lint free wiping rags?
Well first off, most types of rags produce some type of lint that is left behind when being used. If you are cleaning glass, windows, mirrors, automobiles or electronics you will want as little lint as possible. There is nothing like cleaning a window and seeing lint all over it once you finish. That’s just not right! To get the best results with a wiping rag in these situations you want to use a low lint rag.
What exactly is Lint?
Lint is a small, fine fiber that detaches from the surface of cloth and yarn. With cotton a tighter weave means less lint but also means less softness. Typically the softer the item the more lint you will see. A lint free cloth is a special type of cleaning cloth that does not give up any fluff or lint when being used.
Cleaning Electronics with Lint Free Rags
It is very important when cleaning electronics to use a low lint cloth. Being free of lint means the cloth is less likely to build up a charge that can possibly harm electronic equipment. There is a concept called ESD where lint and fluff can gain an electric charge.
Cleaning Tip for Lint Free Rags
If you wish to keep your wiping rags to having low lint you need to wash them correctly. Don’t wash with other items that have lint such as bath towels because they will drop lint in the wash.
