Hey friend!

We are continuing our 5 part mini-series getting our homes ready for the holidays. If you missed the first two parts of the series, you can listen to them here:

Part 1: Is your home ready for the holidays? Start HERE for stress-free holiday prep

Part 2: Refresh your home for the holidays with these 5 simple, budget friendly tips

In today's episode, I'm taking a cue from my business and working smarter not harder in order to prep my home for the holidays. Having a clean house is a pivotal part before welcoming guests in, but cleaning can sometimes be a bore and an absolutely chore. So today, I'm sharing how just as I batch work in my business for efficiency, we're taking that strategy to batch clean. Get ready to get more done in less time.

The rules of batching?

1. Start by writing down all of the chores you do in order to deep clean (remember - guest eyes only areas). Ex) dust baseboards, wash windows, pick lint out of edges of carpet :), dust flat surfaces, deep clean the toilets

2. Then, instead of going room to room to complete one room at a time, try cleaning in like-categories. Cleaning the toilets, for example, require a different set of tools or supplies than dusting.

3. Start by cleaning one like-category at a time. In this example, toilets. Gather all the tools and supplies you need to deep clean the toilets and do ALL the toilets before moving on to the next like-category (ie. window/glass surface cleaning)

After all areas have been deep cleaned, use this same strategy to tidy clean the week of your holiday before the guest's arrival.
