You know that moment when guests are coming, and you start spiraling 30 minutes before they arrive?!
Yep. That’s panic-cleaning — and we’re officially done with it.
Hosting shouldn’t feel like a stress marathon where you’re ruthlessly wiping down counters when the doorbell rings. It can feel calm, prepared, and dare we say — joyful.
So we created the Company’s Comin’ Checklist: a timeline-based guide to help you clean the right things, at the right time, so you can welcome guests into a home that feels warm, intentional, and welcoming...without losing your mind!
No one’s grading you on dust levels. We’re focusing on what actually matters and skipping the rest...especially the toxic chemicals.
HOW TO USE THIS CHECKLIST
This checklist is broken into four phases so you can prep your home little by little instead of cramming everything into the 24 hours before guests arrive. Each section focuses on tasks that matter, the things people will actually see, touch, smell, or use.
- No scrubbing vents with a toothbrush
- No vacuuming under the couch
- No full weekends dedicated to cleaning
Use this as a guide, not a guilt list. Cross off what applies, skip what doesn’t, and modify to your home, your people, and your sanity level. l. And before you get started, make sure you’re stocked up on your favorite plant-based, non-toxic cleaning essentials. They’ll make the whole process healthier, calmer, and way more enjoyable.
