There's no such thing as a Texas tailgate party—great food, good friends, and the thrill of game day! But when it's over, the clean-up can seem like a mountain too high to climb. Texas Cleaning Services is experienced at breaking down post-tailgate messes with ease. Whether tailgating in a parking lot or your yard, here's how to do post-Texas tailgate clean-up without stressing out.
1. Take On Trash First
Remove the obvious mess before you begin deep cleaning.
✅ Place food wrappers, disposable plates, and can drinks in large trash bags.
✅ Put recyclables such as aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and glass aside.
✅ Sweep up remaining food to prevent pests and odors.
💡 Pro Tip: Have extra trash bags on hand during the party so cleanup isn't as much of a hassle later!
2. Wipe Down Tables and Surfaces
Tailgate tables and coolers get a lot of use, so don't forget to sanitize them.
✅ Clean tables and chairs using disinfecting wipes or a wet rag.
✅ Sanitize coolers inside and outside—drain melted ice and allow them to air dry.
✅ Clean grill grates if you used a portable grill.
💡 Pro Tip: Shake baking soda into your cooler before you put it away to keep it odor-free!
3. Remove Grease and Spills
BBQ sauce, spilled beverages, and greasy foods leave behind tough messes.
✅ Dish soap and warm water can dissolve grease.
✅ Dampen a cloth and mild detergent to blot beer or soda spills on clothing.
✅ Hose off any sticky patches on pavement or grass.
💡 Pro Tip: Vinegar and water will quickly clean sticky soda spills!
4. Clean Up After Your Guests
Your tailgate area should be as nice as when you got there.
✅ Double-check for any items left behind such as jackets, sunglasses, or folding chairs.
✅ Clean up bottle caps and small trash that could be missed.
✅ Sweep or shake out rugs and mats if you had them out.
💡 Pro Tip: Pack a little broom and dustpan so sweeping up crumbs is a breeze!
5. Clean Up the Car and Truck
If you hauled food, beverages, and materials, your rig may require a speedy cleaning too.
✅ Clear out residual food and waste before it can stink up the place.
✅ Pick up dirt and crumbs from the seats and the floor.
✅ Clean off cup holders and door handles for sticky residue spots.
💡 Pro Tip: Store a box of dryer sheets in your vehicle to soak up lingering tailgating smells!
