We're told to wash our hands, now more than ever...but keeping up on a clean house is just as important! While you're staying 'Safe At Home', it's the perfect time to deep clean your house. Make it fun by playing music & getting the whole family involved! Split the jobs up between family members, and use an organized cleaning schedule to make sure you don't miss anything. Our Housekeeping Department has several schedules & organizational methods to make sure everything from the lobby, to the rooms are clean & tidy for all of our guests. We’ve put together some helpful tips to share with you to make your Spring house cleaning a little easier and more enjoyable!
*Organizing Tips: Split up your house into sections; kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, basement, etc. Focusing on each room separately will make your cleaning schedule more efficient & keep you organized!
*Scheduling Tips: Dividing your cleaning tasks into “daily tasks”, “weekly tasks”, “monthly tasks” etc. will help you to stay organized and on top of all the tasks that need to be done. By doing this, you will get little jobs done throughout the week/month so that everything doesn’t pile up into one huge to-do list.
