The holiday season often means welcoming guests into our homes, which can lead to extra cleaning afterwards. Here’s how to clean up after the holidays and return your space to a clean, welcoming environment.
Start at the entrance
Start by vacuuming and cleaning your driveway. Check the shoes delivery for salt or dirt, swing or clean the door. A quick vacuuming and mopping can help keep the entryway looking clean and inviting.
Clean high-traffic areas first
Cleaning up after entertaining holiday guests doesn’t have to mean deep cleaning. Choose high-traffic areas like the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Dust the surfaces, wipe down the tables and vacuum the couch cushions. Make sure to clean kitchen counters, clean up spills, and check for grease on the floor. Keep these areas fresh as needed by vacuuming or mopping.
Bonus Tip: Before you start cleaning, wipe down the kitchen counter and run the dishwasher. If you don’t have a dishwasher, put the dishes in the sink and move on to the first position mentioned in this article (the drawer)
