NFL Season Clean-Up: Protect Your Home Field Advantage

When friends huddle up in your living room for game day, they’ll notice more than just your team spirit. While most people remember to vacuum or wipe counters, it’s the overlooked details that can either score you points—or flag you for a hosting penalty. Here’s your game day cleaning checklist with the spots most people forget.

Game Day Cleaning Checklist: The Overlooked Plays

• Toilet base & behind the seat → Not just the bowl—wipe the entire base where dust and splashes hide.

• Light switch plates → Greasy fingers + game snacks = instant grime.

• TV remote & streaming sticks → Biggest germ hotspot in the room.

• Fridge & microwave handles → Guests always touch these without thinking.

• Dishwasher handle & buttons → Sticky fingerprints collect here fast.

• All door handles (especially the front door + doorbell button) → First impressions start before they step inside.

• Chair backs & barstools → People pull these out with their hands every time.

• Coasters & side tables → Wipe down surfaces where drinks will land.

• Trash can lid & rim → Empty it, but also clean where people push it open.

• Bathroom mirror & faucet handles → Smudges and water spots are more obvious than you think.
