Apply anti-stain varnish on your walls and furniture

Anti-stain varnishes can be easily purchased at the nearest hardware store. Applying such products on your walls effectively makes them stain proof for a while. Your walls and furniture are the most susceptible to Holi colours, so it would be wise to put some anti-stain varnish on them to keep them protected.

You can also use spare newspapers to safeguard your furniture this Holi 2020. 

Avoid using sinks to wash up and try bathing in the balcony

Do not wash your coloured face or hands in the sink. Touching your tap with colours hands can stain them and the colour can also stain your sink surface. Go directly to the shower and take a bath. If you have a balcony or front/back yard, try bathing over there to prevent your bathroom floor from getting stained with Holi colours.
