Whether you’re having your mates around for the big game, enjoying it with family or watching it by yourself (still a great option), we’ve put together a checklist of all the places in your home you should pay attention to and prepare ahead of the big day.

 1. Floors

Whether it’s carpet, floorboards, tiles or any other alternative surface, by tackling the largest areas first you’ll be able to breeze through the rest of your clean up in no time. Make sure to put on some tunes before you start vacuuming and mop, just to help you get through everything without too much pain!

 2. Living Room

Given this is probably where you’ll spend most of the day, start by giving your living area a thorough once over of dusting, followed by vacuuming the areas you don’t usually get to and then fluff those cushions, straighten the throws and make sure your seating is arranged to give your guests the best view. Make sure to leave plenty of room for drinks, snacks and celebratory cheers.

3. Kitchen

 A likely hotspot throughout the day, whether it be for preparing some halftime snacks or creating a game day feast, the best hosts always have a clean kitchen before their guests arrive. Kick it off by giving the kitchen bench a good wipe over and sanitisation and don’t forget to tackle any bad smells lingering in your fridge before your guests arrive.

4. Entertainment Areas

Not all guests will be captivated by the game or Katy Perry’s halftime concert, some might even need a time-out from the footy buzz. For these guests, having a well-organised entertainment area is essential. Whether indoors or outdoors, keeping the space tidy and free of clutter will enhance the overall atmosphere and ensure everyone has a great time.

Getting your home in top shape for the game will set you up for a win. With these preps, you’ll be ready to enjoy the match and celebrate every moment.
