Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer, and in Princeton, NJ, it often means backyard gatherings, cookouts, and overnight guests. This Sunday, take some time to prepare your home so it’s sparkling clean and welcoming—just in time for your holiday plans.

1. Focus on Guest-Ready Spaces
Start with the areas guests will see and use most:
- Living Room: Fluff the cushions, vacuum rugs, and dust shelves and electronics. Add a vase of fresh flowers for a festive touch.
- Guest Bathroom: Scrub the toilet, sink, and shower. Replace worn towels with fresh ones, stock toilet paper, and add a scented candle or fresh air spray.
- Entryway: Sweep the porch, shake out welcome mats, and make space for guests’ shoes or coats.
2. Prep the Kitchen and Outdoor Spaces
Whether you’re grilling or hosting a dinner indoors, your kitchen should be clean and organized:
- Wipe down all surfaces and appliances, especially the fridge and countertops.
- Toss out expired items and clear space for party foods.
- Outside, clean patio furniture, sweep walkways, and prep the grill.
3. Deep Clean Floors and Windows
Vacuum carpets, mop floors, and polish any hardwood. Clean your windows to let in that beautiful late spring sunshine. These simple tasks go a long way in making your home feel refreshed and inviting.
