Thanksgiving Cleaning Pre-Checklist
Vacuum Floors and Seating Areas
You want your guests to walk into a clean house, so run your vacuum the morning before dinner. If you don’t have time to do the whole house, you can cheat and just do the main floor if it’s unlikely people will be going upstairs. Use the fabric attachment for your vacuum on chairs and sofas to tackle crumbs and pet hair.
Mop The Floors
If your floors are a little dirty and you have 15 people traipsing all over your house, that dirt is going to get spread everywhere. This will make the next day’s cleaning much more time-consuming, and no one wants to eat dinner on a dirty floor. So mop thoroughly before your guests arrive.
Deep Clean the Fridge and Oven
Your fridge and oven will be getting a lot of use over the holidays. Stinky odors in your fridge or grease stains in your oven can actually affect new foods you’re storing or cooking. Plus, you’ll probably need a lot of space in your fridge. So clear out those wrinkled apples no one is ever going to eat to make space for your Thanksgiving feast and scrub that oil spill that’s been hanging out in your oven for two months.
Tidy Your Guest Bedroom and Wash Your Linens
If you have any guests staying the night or the weekend, be sure to tidy the guest bedroom. Even if no one has used the bed in a while, wash the sheets, pillowcases, and duvet cover to avoid that musty smell and feel.
Dust Shelves and Bookcases
Assuming you dust regularly, pay extra attention to surfaces that don’t get touched very often. This means bookcases, shelves, windowsills, baseboards, and ceiling fans. If you don’t dust regularly, check out my article on 10 Handy Dusting Tips.
