Christmas is almost here! While this year may not include large family gatherings, its always nice to have a clean home for the holiday. As we approach the big day, here is a cleaning checklist if you have an entire day to prepare, one hour, ten minutes, or are even celebrating virtually.
If you’ve got one day to prepare for the big show…
- Pick up all clutter, put items where they belong
- Clean linens
- Dust furniture
- Wash mirrors
- Clean bathrooms, including sinks, toilets, tubs, & showers
- Wipe down countertops, cabinets, baseboards
- Vacuum
- Mop floors
- Empty garbages
If you have one hour before your guests arrive…
- Clean up room and return misplaced items to their original spot
- Wipe down bathrooms/kitchen counters
- Vacuum
- Empty garbages
If you lost track of time and only have ten minutes before people show up…
- Pick up misplaced items
- Empty garbages
If you are celebrating virtually…
- Clean up space directly behind you to reduce clutter
- Consider lighting (e.g. blinking Christmas lights) that may be distraction to your audience
- Brush your hair!
There you have it. A checklist to keep you organized during this typically crazy week in this unusually crazy time. Have a great holiday, everyone!
