Here are some practical tips to help you prepare your home for Easter and create a comfortable and inviting space for your guests. You could call it an Easter preparation checklist. 

1) Declutter and Clean

Before you start decorating for Easter, it's vital to declutter and clean your home. Start by going through your house and removing any items you no longer need or use. You can sell or trash these items or donate them to someone that needs it. There are a lot of donation centers in Atlanta, and you can also ask the Clean Tu Casa team if you need help choosing a goodwill center to donate to. Once you've decluttered your home, it's time to give it a deep clean. Dust and vacuum all surfaces, clean your windows and scrub your floors. 

2) Create a Festive Atmosphere

Easter is a time for bright colors and cheerful decorations. Start by incorporating some Easter-themed decor into your home. Add a wreath to your front door, hang Easter bunting, or place colorful Easter eggs around your home. Flowers are also a great way to add a touch of spring to your home. Consider placing a vase of fresh tulips or daffodils on your kitchen table or living room. You can add Easter-themed cushions and throws to your couch or chairs to create a cozy atmosphere.

3) Organize Your Kitchen

The kitchen is often the busiest room in the house during Easter, with lots of cooking and baking. Organize your kitchen ahead of time to ensure you're ready for the holiday, organize your kitchen ahead of time. Ensure you have all the ingredients for your Easter meals and treats so you don’t have to run to the store last minute. If you're hosting a big meal, consider using a checklist to ensure you remember everything.

4) Ensure Your Bathroom is Squeaky Clean
