Summer BBQ Essentials by Spotless Punch
We love hosting summer parties and BBQs, every sunshine is a great excuse to get everyone together for some great food and drinks. We recently hosted a pre-World Cup party to get everyone excited about the football season.
We had a selection of dishes from our favourite countries taking part in the World Cup, including British burgers and sausages, Italian pizzas and tomato, avocado and mozzarella salad.
We also had Greek leg of pork souvla, pourkouri, oregano chicken with Mediterranean vegetables and Greek salad. To finish off our delicious meal, we enjoyed a selection of Brazilian desserts.
We really like entertaining and inviting everyone to our house, but it is important to make sure that our home is spotless before our guests arrive.
Luckily we were sent a lovely selection of Spotless Punch products which helped us get ready for our BBQ, together with some clever tips and tricks.
Get the BBQ Ready
A recent survey showed that only 30% regularly clean their BBQ grill, while 3% have never cleaned it before. I don’t fancy dirt and germs in my food, so we give our BBQ a good clean with Big D Oven & Grill Cleaner and Lady Jane scourer to remove stubborn stains and burnt on food.
We found Croc Odor Fridge XL freshner particularly useful to neutralise odours and prevent cross contamination of food flavours, protecting the taste of dishes, so each item in the BBQ tastes as good as possible.
Keep Insects Off
Nothing worse than little insects flying and crawling around your BBQ, but you can quickly get rid of them with Vapona products, such as Vapona window stickers. The window stickers with new violet glow can be discreetly added to window corners to elimate flies, while Vapona 2 in 1 spray eliminates both flying and crawling insects.
The lightly fragranced Vapona coils offer six hours of protection against wasps and mosquitos, while giving off a pleasant geranium scent. If you have any ants, you can use Vapona ant bait station to protect your home against ants for the whole summer, as each station lasts for 3 months.
Last Minute Touches
By now, the BBQ is ready, the food is cooking and your guests are about to arrive. You can quickly polish the furniture with Lord Sheraton wipes to enhance the natural beauty of wood and leather. It is perfect to remove dust, finger marks and grime from garden furniture and leather sofas.
Add Ball of Foot Cushion to your shoes and sandals, and the invisible gel cushion will help prevent the burning sensation in the balls of our feet, so you can be the hostess with the mostest, without painfull feet at the end of the party.
Last, but not least, parties are all about atmosphere, so light up a candle and enjoy the beautiful scent. IBA Madagascar candle is made with essential oils and presented in a stylish design, perfect for any summer BBQ party!
