Cleaning Plan for Christmas

Walk through your home with a visitor’s eye, making notes of any imperfections you may be used to but guests may notice. Shaggy strings hanging off sofa pillows? Write it down. Pet hair clogging up heating vents? Make note. Dead leaves hanging from houseplants? Jot away. Turn do-it-yourself tasks into a do-itourselves effort—gather family members, go over the plan, and assign chores. Remember that many hands make light work.

Wash windows and vacuum window screens.  Damp-mop baseboards. Launder and press window and shower curtains.  Launder bedspreads if needed.

Deep-clean bathrooms and medicine cabinets (yes, people will look).  Straighten bedrooms; remove clutter and store out of sight.

Wash throw rugs; set aside so they are nice and fluffy for party day.  Straighten coat closet, making room for guests’ coats. Add fresh hangers if needed.

Clean range or stove top, surfaces, and grates.  Clean refrigerator, making room for party foods; dust top of refrigerator.  Wipe down all large and small appliances..  Wipe down kitchen cabinet exteriors.  Take recycling to recycling bins or facilities.

Dust all surfaces, including bookshelves, tops of framed photos, and art. Dust ceiling fans.  Clean kitchen sinks and dish drainer.  Sweep entryway, polish the doorknob, and decorate the entry with seasonal touches.

Clean trash receptacles and add fresh liners.  Wipe down any dirty areas in the bathroom using household cleaner and paper towels.  Wipe down bathroom mirrors and counters. Wipe down floors with a damp towel.  Apply toilet bowl cleaner in the toilets; brush.  Hang fresh towels and put out fresh hand soap.  Damp-mop the kitchen floor.  Vacuum carpets and dry-mop wood floors.  Fluff sofa cushions and pillows.  Decorate with special touches, such as flowers or candles.

And Remember you always can call Absolute Shine Cleaning Services for help.
