A Few Hints For Pesach Cleaning
- START EARLY – If you begin right after Purim and do a little bit every day, the job is not overwhelming.
- Start with areas where chametz does not usually go and declare them off limits until Pesach.
- Start buying Pesach staples early. Have a place ready to store them.
- For the last week before Pesach, indulge in convenience foods and paper plates.
- Clean the oven as early as possible and use only stove top or toaster oven until Pesach. They are well worth the price for ease and speed in food preparation.
- Check with your Rabbi for instructions to Kasher the microwave.
- Invest in a food processor and electric hand-mixer for Pesach. They are well worth the price for ease and speed in food preparation.
- Aluminum foil is a great help on Pesach – it can cover counters, shelves etc. as well as wrap cooked foods.
- Don’t forget to clean brooms, vacuum cleaners, clothing pockets, car and garage.
- Be sure to consult your OU Pesach Directory – there are new products every year to enhance your holiday.
- Enjoy having the entire house clean at one time and keep up a cheerful front. You will appreciate Pesach more and so will your whole family.
