Your Ultimate Christmas Cleaning Checklist
Everyone waits for this time of the year when the holidays begin, and you get to enjoy plenty of time with your family to celebrate Christmas and other festivities. Traditionally, most families decorate the house, exchange gifts, and most importantly have filling dinners with near and dear ones.
During this time, there are a host of things to do, like shopping for Christmas, putting up decorations, and cleaning the house. Ensuring your house is clean and disinfected before near and dear ones come to visit or stay is essential, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Besides the things to keep, pack everything else securely and label the boxes properly for easy identification of contents. After decluttering, sort through the Christmas decorations to check which ones work and which ones to discard. Some decorations may be broken or worn, and these items should be packed separately and disposed of responsibly. Sorting the decoration will also help you know if you need to get new ones.Clean the Kitchen
