Are you one who loves hosting holiday parties, but doesn't care for all the tidying up involved beforehand? Here are a few tips to help you make getting your home ready for the holidays easier than ever before!
Tackle the Task ASAP Never put that winter cleaning off until the last minute! You may tell yourself you're going to wait until a week or so before Thanksgiving, but the weeks between Halloween and turkey day fly by. Make the job less stressful by handling it as soon as you can. This may mean breaking down cleaning into one small task each day, and that's fine! Getting it all done is what counts.
Make a To-Do List Making the task of cleaning a routine will help you a great deal. How do you turn winter and holiday cleaning into a routine? You write up a to-do list! Breaking a big job down into smaller tasks will make cleaning and decluttering easier on you, mentally and physically.
Clear Out the Clutter Clutter can make a house that's relatively clean feel much more cramped and dirty than it actually is. If there's clutter in your house that you've been meaning to get rid of, this is the time to do it. We know, decluttering is usually seen as a spring cleaning type of thing, but it's never too early to tackle. Besides, it's much easier to keep a cleaner house when there's less stuff around!
Get By With a Little Help From Your Friends Sometimes, an extensive winter cleaning can feel like a tough task for one person. Enlisting folks to help you clean and declutter makes the task easier, and it helps the process move faster. In most cases, friends and family will be more than willing to come in and give you a helping hand. It also doesn't hurt to hire a cleaning and/or decluttering professional!
