The Ultimate Cleaning Checklist for Every Room in Your Home
Make the whole house sparkle with this handy guide.
The feeling of a clean home is incomparable. You just can't beat that just-washed sheets feeling, the smell of a sparkling bathroom, or the peace of mind when working at an organised desk – it's truly the best.
A clean home is also always ready for guests, and with the holiday season approaching, having a sparkling and organised abode to welcome family and friends is all the more important!
Whether you're a seasoned cleaning pro or a complete novice, this checklist is designed to help you tackle all the spots in your home that deserve some attention and ensure your home is in tip-top shape.
Entryway
Your entryway is the first thing guests – and you – see, so making sure its clean and organised will help welcome everyone and set the tone for the rest of your home.
Shake out your doormat.
Vacuum.
Mop the floor.

Clean entryway mirror.
Sanitise door handle.
File away/recycle any letters sitting on your entryway table.
The kitchen is a high-traffic area of the home and can easily become overwhelming if left unmanaged for too long. An organised and efficient cooking area will help you feel more at peace and productive and lower any kitchen-related stress levels.
Wash dishes.
Clean dishwasher: Place a bowl filled with distilled white vinegar on the top rack of the dishwasher, and run a normal cycle. Then, pour a cup of baking soda into the bottom of the dishwasher and run a second cycle.
