What a long weekend it is! Memorial Day and it’s the time to honor the memory of those heroes, while this provides a great opportunity for friends and family to stay with you.
Speaking of friends or visitors, you would want them to have the best stay with you! But why spend the night scrubbing and digging out the toilet bowl? You can turbocharge your holiday cleaning early so you can sit back and relax when your guests arrive. We’ve got 10 housekeeping tips to help you do just that.
1. MAKE GUESTS THE PRIORITY. Think about the rooms and areas of the home where they’ll be spending a lot of time. Bathrooms, the guest bedroom, the kitchen, and common areas are the spaces out-of-towners will frequent most often, so focus on making those spotless.
2. DISLODGE DUST AND DOG HAIR / VACUUM THE FLOORS. Sweep up pet hair and shake the dust out of curtains when you prepare your house for guests. Additionally, make sure your cleaning products are hypoallergenic and fragrance-free.
3. MAKE THE BEDROOMS HOMEY. Duvet covers and pillow shams have been cleaned and aired out. The sheets on the bed should be fresh out of the linen closet or dryer, of course. And don’t forget the housekeeping details: Ceiling fans, nightstands, and windowsills should all be dust-free.
4. GIVE THEM A BATHROOM THAT’S CLEANER THAN THE ONE AT HOME. Bathrooms are definitely a must-clean when you prepare your house for guests. Even guest bathrooms that are never used are susceptible to nasty mold and mildew. And don’t forget to make that mirror shine.
5. LEAVE GUESTS PLENTY OF LINENS. Provide overnighters with fresh sheets, towels, and washcloths. But spills happen, and towels get used to mop up water on the bathroom floor. Make sure your visitors don’t have to hunt for anything.
6. SET UP STORAGE. Friends and family will find it easier to celebrate Memorial Day if they don’t have to live out of their suitcases. Clean out a few drawers for them, and clear space on the closet floor for their luggage.
7. DECLUTTER COMMON AREAS. You want all common areas to be spotless when your guests arrive, so they get a good first impression. Organize items like books, remotes, or video game controllers by using decorative baskets as storage containers. And if you have pets, hit sofas and chairs with a lint roller or vacuum extension.
8. CLEAN THE KITCHEN. You can’t celebrate Memorial Day without food. Organize the fridge by putting holiday must-haves like soda, popsicles, and beers within easy reach. As you go, wipe down refrigerator doors and kitchen cabinets.
9. DON’T FORGET THOSE OUTSIDE SPACES. Most people celebrate Memorial Day outdoors, so outside areas need to be ready to impress. Sweep porches, decks, and patios to rid them of leaves, dust, pine straw, and cobwebs.
10. CALL FOR BACKUP. Sometimes friends and family announce their plans to celebrate Memorial Day with you at the last minute. Other times, your life is too busy to leave time to prepare your house for guests. When that happens, cleaning services are the way to go. Housekeeping professionals can get your home visitor-ready for you, so you can spend the long weekend relaxing and enjoying your company.
