Don't think of holiday green cleaning as "one more thing." Think of it as a gift-to-self! A green cleaned home is always a mood lifter. Whether your company with be guests for the day or overnight, you'll want your home to give them a green cleaned, warm welcome! Which rooms are a MUST-DO?
The Entryway:
Make sure your guests have a clear path into your home!
You don't want to start the visit off with guests having to carefully
conquer shoe mountain when coming in!
The Bathroom:
Whether your guests have to share a bathroom with your
family members or not, be sure that this room gets priority! Guests may not even notice whether you dusted
or not, but they will notice a neglected bathroom.
Note-to-self: Save this room for last, IF guests need to
share bathroom with your family members.
From ceiling to floor-- wipe down ALL surfaces! Do you have hard water? On shower walls/tub/sink; let Brightly Green
Bathroom Cleaner sit for at least half an hour before wiping down. This allows time for the natural citric acid
in the cleaner to work its non-toxic magic—breaking down hard water
deposits. Believe me this works! I no
longer have to use obnoxious vinegar for my hard water issues! Finally, green clean bathroom floor with
Brightly Green Granite and Tile Cleaner.

The finishing touch: Either spray Harmony All-Natural Air
Freshener in the room or add a few drops of Harmony Essential Oil to your
toilet bowl brush holder. I like to add
Harmony Peppermint Essential Oil to my toilet bowl brush as a festive touch for
the holiday season! Be sure there is
plenty of extra, easily accessible toilet paper too!
As an added touch for
overnight guests: have a small
basket with travel-size toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo gel, and bath gel, in
a noticeable place either in the bathroom itself or in the guest bedroom.
Basically, these are toiletries that can easily be forgotten when traveling. My mother-in-law created a toiletry basket
for her guests, and I will have to say it came in handy on a handful of
occasions while visiting her!
This amenities basket is easy to put together and costs
next-to-nothing when you simply collect and save the free toothpaste and
toothbrushes you get when going to the dentist.
For free shampoo and bath gels, collect unused toiletries from your
hotel travels!
I Spy Cobwebs!
Shoo dusty cobwebs!
Be on the lookout around the ceiling and corners of each room to snag
those pesky webs. They are quick to
catch if you attach a microfiber rag to the end of a broom and spray the rag
with Brightly Green Multi-Purpose Cleaner.
If time allows, spray
Brightly Green Wood Floor Cleaner directly on a dusting mitt or microfiber
cloth to snag dust on bookshelves, entertainment stand, and other furniture in
your living spaces.
The Kitchen:
Put everything in its place.
Organize the countertops and clean with Brightly Green Granite and Tile Cleaner
(for granite/natural stone countertops) or Brightly Green Multi-Purpose
Cleaner. Green Clean the sink with
either of the same.
If time allows,
clean the refrigerator with Brightly Green Dish Wash or Brightly Green
Multi-Purpose Cleaner.

A clear view:
Prioritize windows in entryway, bathroom, guest bedroom,
living area, dining area and kitchen.
Clean windows brighten any home and are a definite welcoming
touch for company! Don't forget the
window sills!
Don't sweat the small stuff!
Enjoy your time with others and may your get-together be wonderfully
memorable!
