So… by the grace and benevolence bestowed upon you by Lord Jesus, here's your pre-X-mas house cleaning checklist!

Let's Begin.

Prepare your living room for the Christmas tree by pulling out all furniture sets to the centre of the room. Also, thoroughly vacuum the floors and soft furnishings.

Living Area:-

• Look to declutter all books, toys and dust off the decorations.
• Clean the place where you intend to put the X-mas tree.
• Clean the ceiling fans and all living room windows.
• Dust off all architraves and the blinds.
• Clean off all light fixtures.
• Thoroughly shampoo your carpets and the lounge suite (if present).
• If there are wall marks, wipe them using a magic eraser. Alte atively; you can dust or vacuum the walls to free it from cobwebs, dust and dirt marks.

P.S- Santa Claus may need a clean fireplace to make his entrance. So, remember to dust off the hearth too!

Kitchen Area:-

Turkey…? Check. Clean cupboards…? Check. So far, so good! But what about the fridge and the rest of the kitchen area? Fret not, and follow these!

• Do a complete clean-up of your fridge, pantry and freezer!
• Properly clean and sterilise all shelves and benches.
• Cleaning your rubbish bin with bleach and make sure you keep extra bin bags.
• Properly wipe all appliances, exhaust fan, oven and the microwave (inside out).

With that, clean all the utensils using a mop, bucket and broom. If you come across any stains on the glassware, fill your sink with warm water using a small amount of bleach and let it stay for 30-minutes. Apply the baking soda and water mix on the stained area and rinse properly. If the stain is still visible, repeat!

Also, look to remove any cooking odour using an air purifier. Choose one with an activated carbon or charcoal filter. It will absorb the odour and leave your kitchen space smelling fresh.

Your Bathroom & Your Guests' Bathroom:-

• Remove all existing personal items from your and your guests' bathroom.
• Thoroughly clean each of the toilets (and remember to put in loo blocks and extra toilet paper).
• Scrub all grout, tiles, shower glass.
• Properly clean all light fixtures and polish the bathroom mirrors using a cleaning agent and a clean mop.
• Also remove the exhaust fan cover and clean it.

The Guest Bedroom Area:

• Put clean sheets on the bed and fluff the pillows.
• Also lay down clean towels with soap, right at the end of your guest's bedroom!
• Look to dust off every surface and also vacuum your rugs and carpets.
