If you preferred the live Christmas Tree to artificial one, the following tips may be very useful for you. So, how to undress the live Christmas Tree and not to make a mess?
-
First of all, take a tree removal bag and place it under your tree before undressing it. It will help you to avoid a problem with needles. Remove all toys, tinsel, light strings and ornaments carefully. Before you begin undressing the Christmas Tree, do not forget to drain your tree-stand. Spilled sap can stain or damage your carpets.
-
If you saw pine-needles on the floor, do not use a carpet cleaner, because it can be ruined by them. Use a carpet rake or a broom to sweep them. You can also use a special Christmas needle broom.
-
If the tree branches are too wide for the removal bag, cut them off. Wrap the branches with twine. Start wrapping them from the bottom. Compress the branches tight. You can use usual lawn bags and duct tapes to wrap and compress branches tightly.
-
You may use various ornament chests, storage containers or organizers to keep tinsel and toys.
Finally, someone may find the process of the Christmas Tree undressing to be too boring. Make it a family tradition! Lay the festive table. Think out funny contests and games, and undress your Christmas Tree together. Doing it together with parents, kids will remember this day as one of the best days in the life. When they grow up, looking at old toys they will go back to their childhood and think of those happy moments when they undressed the Christmas Tree together with their parents.
