Planning on hosting this season? Here are three tips to get your home holiday-ready ahead of time:

  • Purge your pantry: Check expiration + “best if used by” dates
  • Dedicate a discrete space in your home for a gift-wrapping and staging area as packages get delivered
  • Donate unused items you haven’t touched in six months or more

Have so much to do, but so little time? Call in the pros at Two Maids of Greenville for home cleaning services.

This photo shows a cozy and modern café interior. A hand in the foreground is holding an iced coffee in a clear plastic cup with a lid and straw. The background features a seating area with white chairs, soft-toned furniture, and large windows letting in natural light. The décor includes potted plants, a patterned rug, a glass-top coffee table, and wall art. Outside, it appears to be a rainy day, adding to the cozy ambiance.
