- About a week ahead of time, create a list of the larger items you need to tackle

Tackling the big cleanup
- Simplify and declutter: Toss out junk mail and magazines, put items in their proper place, and consider donating items that tend to just take up space.
- Wipe down dusty surfaces: Start with doors and frames, and move to the window sills. Take care of dust and fingerprints around doors.
- Deep clean the bathrooms: Wash door or curtain to shower. Clean bath/shower, toilet (calcium buildup), sinks and mirrors.
- Dust relief: Move furniture, vacuum furniture and rugs, curtains or blinds if needed, and AC vents.
- Kitchen care: Clean stove, microwave and stove hood. Clean refrigerator, countertops and floors.
- Consider curb appeal: Clean up plants, doormat and walkways, make sure outdoor lights are all working.
