Getting your house clean for Valentine’s Day can be a wonderful gesture to show your partner how much you care. Here are 5 tips to help you get started:

• Handle Unpleasant Business First: Start with the most difficult room, which is usually the bathroom. Clean the toilet by spraying under the rim with distilled white vinegar and scrubbing with a toilet brush. For the shower, mix ¼ cup of vinegar and ¾ cup of water, heat it in the microwave for about 60 seconds, and then spray it on the surfaces. Let it sit for three minutes before wiping it away with a microfiber cloth. For the tub and sink, sprinkle baking soda and wash them off with warm water and a microfiber cloth.
• Blast Those Dust Bunnies: Dusting is the next step. Work your way through the house with a duster and some dry microfiber cloths. Make sure to dust areas like ceiling fans, baseboards, and blinds.
• Decluttering: Grab a basket or box and sweep through the main living areas. Stash away anything that doesn’t belong—papers, toys, laundry—and find them a temporary home. This will make your space feel calmer.
• Polish Key Features: Focus on what your partner will notice first. Ensure the windows are streak-free, the mirrors in the bathroom gleam, and surfaces are wiped down with a gentle cleaner that leaves a fresh scent.
• Freshen the Air: Open the windows for a few minutes to let in fresh air, then add a candle or diffuser with a light floral or citrus scent.

By following these steps, you can create a clean and welcoming environment that will make your Valentine’s Day extra special.
