Forget tailgating – you’re hosting the best game day party in town.
Game day usually comes with plenty of food, friends, drinks, and a house full of people. The last thing you want to worry about while you’re getting ready for kickoff is whether the bathroom is clean or when you’re going to find time to vacuum.
That’s where a little pre-game cleaning can help. And if you’d rather spend your time getting everything else ready, Maid Impressions Cleaning can handle the cleaning for you. We’re here for you from pre-season to post with weekly cleaning services that will make you feel like a winner!
Here’s a play-by-play of what to focus on before your guests arrive for the big game:
#1. Start With the Living Room
The living room is usually game-day headquarters, so start there. Clear off the coffee table, straighten the couch, put away blankets and anything else that has accumulated, and give the floors a thorough vacuum. If you have rugs, give them some attention, too. Crumbs have a way of finding every corner.
Maid Impressions can take care of the dusting, vacuuming, mopping, and general tidying that helps your main gathering space feel fresh and ready for company. That means one less thing to squeeze into your pre-game schedule!
#2. Get the Kitchen Ready for Game-Day Food
Your kitchen is going to get plenty of action once the snacks come out. Before guests arrive, clean the countertops, stovetop, sink, and kitchen table. Empty the dishwasher so you have plenty of room for the inevitable pile of glasses, plates, and serving dishes.
It’s also a good time to clean around the appliances and wipe down cabinet fronts and handles.
Don’t have time? Don’t worry! Our cleaners can help get these high-traffic areas in shape before your guests arrive, so you can focus on the food instead of scrubbing the kitchen. Have a party coming up? Let your cleaning crew know; we’re always willing to go the extra mile.
#3. Give the Guest Bathroom Some Attention
The guest bathroom might be small, but everyone will notice if it needs cleaning. Clean the toilet, sink, countertop, mirror, and floor. Put out a fresh hand towel and make sure there’s plenty of toilet paper.
If you’re scheduling a professional cleaning before your game-day gathering, the bathroom is one of the spaces worth having on the list. Our team can tackle the details, so your guests walk into a clean, comfortable space.
#4. Freshen Up the Entryway
The entryway is about to see a lot of foot traffic. Put away shoes, bags, mail, and anything else taking up space. Sweep or vacuum the floor and make room for guests to stash their belongings.
If your home has a busy entryway, this is another area where professional cleaning can make a noticeable difference. We can help get those high-traffic floors and surfaces cleaned before everyone starts coming through the door.
#5. Don’t Forget the High-Touch Areas
There are a few spots that get touched constantly during a gathering: door handles, light switches, cabinet pulls, countertops, and remotes.
Give these areas a good cleaning as part of your pre-game prep. We can also take care of these frequently used surfaces during your cleaning service, along with the rest of the home.
It’s a small part of the cleaning routine, but it helps the whole house feel more refreshed!
#6. Let the Floors Be the Final Play
Once everything is picked up and the other cleaning is finished, give your floors some attention.
Vacuum the living room, hallways, bedrooms guests may use, and entryway. Sweep or mop hard floors where needed, especially around the kitchen and dining areas.
If you’re already planning to have Maid Impressions clean before your gathering, professional floor cleaning can save you one of the more time-consuming jobs on your list. Then you can focus on more important questions, like whether you have enough chips.
Give Yourself a Pre-Game Check
Before the first guest arrives, do one quick walk-through. Check the kitchen and look over the bathroom. Make sure the living room is picked up, and the floors are clean. Empty the trash if needed and put away anything you don’t want guests wandering into.
If our team has already handled your pre-game cleaning, this final check should be pretty simple. Add the snacks, turn on the game, and enjoy having people over!

Hosting should leave you with good memories, not a house-cleaning marathon.
