Make Your Pumpkins Last Longer!
Happy last day of Summer y’all!
Have you ever bought real pumpkins, only to have them rot out before or right after Halloween? If so, I’ve got you covered…
The last few years, I only had faux pumpkins on the porch, but this year, I decided to buy real ones and try the cleaning hack that everyone seems to swear by to make them last!
There are different ways and things that you can use, but for mine this year I used…
*Cold water
*A little bleach
*A few drops of Dawn dish soap
*Scrub brush or sponge
After filling the sink with cold water and adding the bleach and dish soap, I put the pumpkins in and let them soak for about 10-15 minutes! I then scrubbed them, dried them really well (especially around the stem) and voila, they were sparkling! I didn’t measure the bleach or dish soap, but just eyed it with just a splash of each!
I’ve heard that this can make them last until Christmas, due to removing any mold and bacteria from the pumpkins, but I’ve also read that spraying them with water here and there, to keep them moist helps too!
Have you gotten your pumpkins yet?
