The winter holiday season has come to an end, so that means there is a lot of work to be done. You don’t have to stress while figuring out how to pack away your holiday decorations. Keep on reading to learn tips to make the process safe and easy.
Safety First!
If you hung up Christmas lights on your home’s exterior, you may have to use a ladder to take them down. It is important to make sure that your ladder is secure before you start climbing it. Ideally, you could enlist the help of a friend or family member to support the ladder while you work. Hopefully you used light clips designed to protect the shingles on your roof. If not, try to be cautious to avoid damaging your roof as you pull out the fasteners.
Bundle Lights Together With Zip Ties
Long strands of lights look beautiful when they are hung up for the holiday season. However, they can be easy to tangle up. To save yourself a headache next year, we recommend that you create neat bundles out of your Christmas lights. In order to keep the bundles secure, use zip ties to prevent tangling.
Label Your Boxes of Decorations
When the holiday season rolls around again, you will thank yourself if you put your decorations away in an organized fashion. Try labeling your boxes and placing them all in the same area of your attic or garage. This will help you remember all of the holiday items that you have to prevent you from buying duplicates during the next season.
