How To Take Down Christmas Decorations Without The Mess. Hello everyone, I hope you are well. In today’s post, I will be sharing a press release from SharkNinja. Decorating your home is a joyful way to kick off the festive season, but taking down the decorations afterwards is far less anticipated. With searches for ‘Christmas decoration storage’ being up by 215% in the last week, Shark Clean has revealed when to take down your decorations as well as the best way to pack them away!
How To Take Down Christmas Decorations Without The Mess
Expert Reveals To Take Decorations Down By 6th January
Tradition says your tree should come down after the Twelfth Night, which celebrates the Three Wise Men arriving in Bethlehem.
The Church of England counts 12 days from Christmas Day, meaning it always falls on the 5th of January, while the Catholic Church and other denominations count from Boxing Day, making it the 6th of January.
Expert-Approved Tips For Taking Down Christmas Decorations
Experts at Shark Clean have revealed their top tips for taking down Christmas decorations.
Store Your Artificial Christmas Tree In A Box
If you have an artificial tree, gently remove all the ornaments, tinsel, and lights before folding the branches and placing it back in its box. Storing it in the box will help preserve its shape, ensuring it looks flawless and ready to bring joy again next year.
Use A Duvet Cover To Contain Needles When Moving Your Real Christmas Tree
Even the best-kept tree is likely to be shedding after a few weeks indoors – but there are plenty of hacks to capture debris en route to the door.
While you can buy ‘tree bags’ to do this job, a quick solution is to open up an old duvet cover and slide it over the tree from the top. It’s also a good idea to lay down a sheet or tarp on the floor before you start removing the decorations to catch any droppage.
Individually Wrap Baubles To Ensure No Breakages
Glass baubles and ornaments are fragile but can last year after year if stored correctly. Wrap them individually in tissue paper or bubble wrap then carefully store them in an airtight box to protect them from humidity or dampness, with plenty of padding.
Wrap String Lights Around Cardboard To Avoid Tangling
Lights can easily tangle if not stored away properly. To avoid any tangling, wrap lights around a rectangle of cardboard with a notch in one corner to tuck in the end.
Label All Christmas Decor Storage Boxes/Containers
After packing away all your decorations, clearly label boxes with exactly what is in them. This will make it much easier to find what you want next Christmas.
That Said
In conclusion, while taking down Christmas decorations may not be the most exciting task after the festive season, it doesn’t have to be a messy ordeal. By following these expert-approved tips from Shark Clean, you can ensure that your decorations are stored safely and efficiently for next year. Remember to treat your decorations with care, and keep everything organized, and you’ll make the process much easier and more enjoyable.
I hope you enjoyed that.

I don’t have anything to take down, but these tips will also be helpful in other aspects of organizing/cleaning the house all year round…

taking down the christmas decorations is one of the saddest parts of the season. Especially because people often don’t wait until the 12 days of christmas have concluded before wrapping things up :(
Olga
We usually take Christmas trees down by January 6th, too. But I know some families who keep it by the beginning of February. This year, I bought extra organizers to protect our ornaments.

Love your ideas about house To Take Down Christmas Decorations Without The Mess. My x-mother-in-law has a closet dedicated to Xmas. She has an imitation tree put into wheels. It was decorated once, decades ago, and just rolled out and plugged in. When Xmas was over, the tree was unplugged and rolled into the closet. I always loved her hack!

Great points! One of the things I dread about the holidays is taking down the decorations. It is such a bear to do and is one of the tasks I loathe! These are good ideas to help make it a little easier.

We do all of these things. I’m so protective of the tree we bought and all our keepsake ornaments, so I always make sure everything is in order.
