PLAN AHEAD AND STOCK UP ON CLEANING SUPPLIES
The kitchen, guest restroom, dining room, and entertainment room are the most common
places for guests to linger during the holidays. Spending more time on these rooms, and
less time on others can help alleviate stress and time. Think about what you might need
to buy to get the cleaning done quicker.
PLAN AHEAD AND STOCK UP ON WRAPPING AND DECOR SUPPLIES
Buying presents and decor well in advance can help get rid of last-minute chores and
preparation.
KITCHEN CLEANING
Having space available in the kitchen can make a huge difference in stress levels. Make
sure to deep clean the kitchen since this area will be the main space people/guests will
linger around.
Remove unnecessary items from the kitchen that won’t be used during the holidays and store them in a temporary store away box. Now you have room for the holiday serving dishes, punch bowl, silver, and other items you’ll be using during the holidays.
CLEAN AS YOU GO
Keeping a kitchen clean can be easy as long as it is cleaned immediately after use.
Doing light cleaning can go a long way. Starting with the most important room to the
least important, grab a box and put away everything that does not belong. The more light
cleaning you do means less deep cleaning before the big celebration. This makes for a
stress-free clean up when in a rush.
GUEST RESTROOMS
One of the most common places for guests is the restroom. Make sure
to have an ambient amount of toilet paper, hand soap, and paper towels. Give the toilet
and sink an extra scrub and disinfectant. You can also place a basket for amenities they
might need or forgot to bring.
GUEST RESTROOMS
Cut-resistant gloves help protect the hands from direct contact
with sharp materials, such as metal, glass, ceramics, and other materials. This type of
safety glove is best suited for medium to heavy-duty tasks; however, they are generally
not effective in protecting against power equipment or punctures.
