Everyone loves a good Fourth of July barbecue and if you’re the host, then you’ve already started planning. You’re cleaning off the grill and starting the guest list, but does your house need a deep clean before everyone comes for brats and hamburgers?
It’s Not Just the Backyard
While all the fun stuff happens in the backyard, it’s not the only place people will be. They’ll come through your home to get to the backyard. They’ll need to go to the bathroom and every now and then a few stragglers will head inside for the occasional conversation. The weather may not cooperate and soon the entire party has transitioned inside until it passes.
There are a million reasons why people would be inside your home during a barbecue, so you should be prepared with a home cleaning from Illinois Valley Clean Team Inc.
The Bare Essentials
What are two of the most common rooms people are going to be inside your home? If the beer and pop is flowing at your party, then the bathroom is a revolving door. You don’t want people seeing mildew in the bathtub and a dirty toilet bowl. It’s best to do a complete clean of the bathroom including the bathtub, toilet bowl, floor, sink and any cabinets. Replace the soaps and the towels with fresh ones and make sure there is plenty of toilet paper.
Now You’re Cooking
While burgers, brats and steaks are traditionally cooked on the grill, the sides and other aspects of the meal are wither prepared in the kitchen or brought by guests. Since no one wants salmonella poisoning from the potato salad, they’ll want to stick it in the fridge until it’s time to eat. There could be some items that need to finish cooking or be reheated. What it comes down to is people are going to be in the kitchen. Get all the appliances and counters wiped down and clean and take a mop to the floor. It may not end the night clean, but it can start that way.
The Living Room – The Room Where You Live
There’s a reason why they call it a living room and not the tangential place people rarely congregate. If you have any weather or wind problems, people will likely come inside. The floors should be vacuumed and tables wiped off.
