Wash and disinfect all garbage cans


Seal and or polish granite countertops


Bedroom & Closet:

Refresh bedding that isn't regularly washed


Vacuum mattresses and flip if you have one that flips


Put cold weather linens on the beds (if you like those)


Switch out seasonal clothes


Living Areas:

Vacuum upholstered furniture


Vacuum under your upholstered furniture cushions

All Around the House:

Wash your windows, sills and the window groves


Clean your washer and dryer


Clean your doorknobs, doors and lightswitch plates


Vacuum under all beds, couches and other furniture


Dust the tops of door and door frames


Clean carpets and rugs


Clean floors under area rugs

Clean your baseboards


Seasonal Maintenance:
