The day before the holidays, everyone usually does a lot of cleaning before the New Year. We decided to make it easier for you: here is a checklist of things to do in each room.
Corridor
As they say, there’s no second chance to make a first impression. The hallway will immediately tell guests everything about your house, so start there:
- Remove family members’ belongings and shoes. Guests must be able to undress and hang up their clothes in complete peace of mind.
- Clean all horizontal surfaces. If you don’t have a bench or ottoman and your guests include young children or elderly people, bring a chair.
- Wipe the dust from the mirror and lamps.
- Vacuum and wash the floors, not forgetting the baseboards.
- Light a scented candle or set up a diffuser. And don’t forget to hang the New Year’s wreath on the door!
Kitchen
It is customary for us to welcome guests in the kitchen, even if you then sit in the living room. The kitchen must therefore be impeccable. Start with the countertop: Clean, tidy countertops immediately add freshness. Then do the following:
- Empty the refrigerator. Check food expiration dates, throw away spoiled items and wipe down surfaces. Make sure you only have what you really need in the fridge.
- Clean the oven and cooking plates. Pay attention to hard-to-reach places where grease can accumulate and make sure the surface is perfectly clean: this way you won’t have to be distracted and irritated when you start preparing party dishes.
- Check the supplies in the cupboards. Make a list of necessary products and small items. This will help avoid any hustle and bustle on the holiday day.
- Wash the trash. Someone will definitely use it!
- Check the condition of kitchen knives. What’s worse than cutting Olivier with a dull knife!
- Prepare the textiles. Wash aprons and towels, remove soiled or torn items to keep your kitchen clean and beautiful.
