Overview
- In Argentina there is no single rule for removal, with many households choosing Epiphany on January 6 while others wait until January 8.
- Clarín newly recommends completing cleaning and storage of artificial trees before January 1, 2026.
- For artificial trees, remove dust with a microfiber cloth or vacuum, use a mild soap solution only if very dirty, and allow all parts to dry completely.
- Take down lights first, pack ornaments and nativity pieces in separate boxes, and store the tree so its branches keep their natural shape for next year.
- If the tree is natural, take it to a specialized facility for reuse or recycling rather than throwing it in the trash.
