October-The Best Month to Start Cleaning for the Holidays

Are you thinking of Thanksgiving and Christmas yet? If you entertain during the holidays, you should be! The best time to start cleaning for the holidays is RIGHT NOW in October! Start by doing one spring cleaning item each week and by the time the holidays and stress are here, you won't have to worry about cleaning your home except for touching up a little here and there. I've broken down week by week what to work on....Week 1 Clean all the light fixtures in your home including the ceiling fans.  It's also good to clean the outside light fixtures too.Week 2 Clean out the inside of your fridge.Week 3 Take apart all the upholstered furniture and give it a thorough vacuuming.Week 4 Do an deep cleaning of your kitchen including walls behind counter tops and the kitchen cabinets. This would be a good time to self clean the oven too.Week 5 Wash down all the baseboards, trim and doors in your home. This will make it look like you just painted!Week 6 Dust/Vacuum all the blinds or curtains in your home. Windex your entry doors that have glass on them.Once you do these spring cleaning items, you can concentrate on the maintenance cleaning, decorating, cooking and doing things you WANT to do.  And don't forget, you can always call us for any cleaning needs that you have-whether it's a big spring cleaning or a standard maintenance cleaning!
