The winter holidays are a festive time, typically filled with reunions and celebrations. It’s also a great time for decluttering and disposing of items you no longer use. There’s a little time left before the busiest days of the month, so it’s best to get started on the cleaning now.
If you don’t know where to start, here is a cleaning checklist from the American Cleaning Institute.
Common Areas
- Give the floors, carpets, and baseboards thorough vacuuming.
- Have your air ducts cleaned and replace air and furnace filters.
- Remove grit and soil from your wood and tile floors.
- Wipe down windows, doors, and other surfaces.
- Bring down and wash the drapery.
- Your sofa traps all kinds of dirt, dust, food particles, and others. Before this dirt is ingrained into the fabrics, clean the upholstery regularly or hire a professional cleaning service provider.
- Freshen up your indoor plants or bring some in for a change.
Entryways
- To prevent dust and dirt from being tracked all over your house, place rugs and doormats near entrances.
- Prepare a closet for guests' winter coats and a space for shoes, hats, and gloves.
Kitchen
- Wipe countertops and other surfaces before and after food preparation.
- Make sure that you have a cabinet filled with kitchen essentials such as clean dish towels, potholders, dish clothes, and aprons.
- Remove spoiled and expired food products from the refrigerator and clean the shelves. Jars and bottles need to be wiped clean before they are returned to the refrigerator.
Dining Area
- Stained table linens must be pre-treated. Soak linens, placemats, and fine napkins overnight in a solution of detergent, warm water, and bleach inside the washing machine.
- Use coasters to prevent leaving beverage impressions on your glass or wood furniture.
Bathroom
- Stock up on towels, tissue paper, wipes, and other toiletries for your guests.
- Clean toilet bowls, tubs, shower doors, and other fixtures.
Bedroom
- Wash bed linens, pillowcases, and blankets.
- Dust and organize bedroom assortments to make the room look more inviting.
