Declutter for a Calm, Inviting Space
Thanksgiving is all about enjoying time with loved ones, so let’s clear out the clutter.
Put away any items that don’t need to be out – like excess mail, shoes, or kids’ toys – to create a clean, open space. Try designating a closet or room to stash away the extras, giving your home an instantly organized feel.
Start with the Main Areas
Focus on the spaces your guests will see the most.
Your living room, dining room, and guest bathroom are the top priorities. Give these areas a thorough clean by dusting, vacuuming, and wiping down surfaces. Need an extra hand? Our team is here to help give these spaces the extra sparkle they deserve.
Spruce Up the Kitchen
The kitchen is the heart of Thanksgiving, so make sure it’s ready to shine.
Wipe down countertops, polish appliances, and clean any lingering spills in the fridge. A quick clean inside the microwave and stove top will make everything look fresh, even if it’s about to get messy again with all that cooking! And remember, we can help with a deep kitchen clean so you can focus on the cooking.
Guest Bathroom Essentials
Your guest bathroom should feel comfortable and clean.
In addition to a thorough clean of the sink, toilet, and mirror, add some finishing touches like fresh towels, extra hand soap, and a pleasant-smelling candle or air freshener. A spotless, stocked bathroom makes a big impression.
Cozy Up the Living Room
Thanksgiving gatherings usually end up in the living room, so make it as cozy as possible.
Vacuum the furniture (yes, even under those couch cushions), dust off shelves, and fluff up the pillows. Consider adding a soft throw blanket or two to give it that welcoming feel. It’s these little touches that make everyone feel right at home.
Prepare the Dining Room for the Feast
Your dining room is the Thanksgiving showstopper, so set the stage for a memorable meal.
Wipe down the table, polish any glassware, and give your chairs a quick clean if they need it. Consider setting the table in advance to add a festive, finished look – it’ll also save you time on Thanksgiving Day!
Tidy the Entryway
The entryway is the first thing your guests will see, so make sure it’s clean and inviting.
Sweep or vacuum the area, add a mat if you expect muddy shoes, and set up a coat rack or space for bags. A well-organized entryway sets the tone for the rest of the home.
