Walls

Walls are the most sensitive part of the home when it comes to Holi colors. Be it wet or dry, if damaged, painting the walls after Holi colors could be a posh affair. One of the safest idea to protect your walls is to get an anti-stain varnish applied before the festival. Another trick is to cover those parts of the wall, which can be more affected by a durable plastic cover. While these techniques are time-consuming, they provide the utmost safety. You could also keep your furniture against the wall to protect them from any unnecessary touch, which can cause stain on the walls.

What if affected: In case your wall does get damaged, you must take immediate action and wipe them with a mild mixture of bleach and water to clear all stains from your beautiful walls.

Doors & Windows

The door and window of your home is the first and foremost thing which gets in contact with the colors after playing Holi, leaving color stains on it. As door and window knobs are the first thing you touch when you move from one room to another, which will damage your walls ad window colors due to lots of different colors on your hand.

 What if affected: You can put Turpentine oil or Mustard oil on the knob 1 day before Holi. The oil coating will keep it stain-free, you can also use plastic gloves to avoid direct contact of colors on your doors & window so that they will clean as new!

Floors

We understand that it’s quite difficult to protect your floor from colors during Holi. If you have marble floor tiles, its always best to avoid playing indoors as the colors could get challenging to remove them. You could safeguard the most accessed part of the floor by spreading old newspapers, to make a pathway from your main door to the bathroom, this smart idea will help you to enjoy your Holi by keeping your floor safe from any stains.

What if affected: Always remember if dry Gulaal falls on your floor, never make mistake of using water to clean it, not even a wet cloth, as it will definitely leave a stain on your surface; it’s good to sweep it with broom immediately. Remember to clean it up before someone walks over it and spreads it all over the house. If in case the wet color spill on the floor, remember to absorb the color quickly with the help of a mop or a cloth. You can also use strong detergent to get rid of permanent stains on your sparkling floors.

Bathroom

It’s evident once you are fully colored, the very first thing you will do after entering your home is run towards the bathroom to have a bath. Bath will assuredly remove your colors from your body but will make your bathroom surface stained. While bathing, remember to avoid touching the fixtures directly and wear a plastic glove instead to avoid any color stains on taps and basins. You can take a tub bath so that your bathroom does not get stained, and you don’t have to waste time and effort sitting and cleaning everything after Holi.

What if affected: The best and an effective way to protect your bathroom fixture is by applying petroleum jelly on the accessories or use liquid detergents to remove the stains.
