The entryway is your home’s first impression – and the highest-traffic area for dirt coming in.

  1. Remove everything: shoes, coats, bags, decor.
  2. Sweep or vacuum the floor thoroughly, getting into corners.
  3. Mop hard floors with an appropriate cleaner.
  4. Wipe down the door, door frame, and any furniture.
  5. Clean light switches and door handles.
  6. Return only what belongs – declutter as you go.

A clean, organized entryway sets the tone for the whole house and reduces how much dirt gets tracked through.
