- Clear kitchen counters: Put away anything left out from breakfast, and wipe surfaces clean.

Evening: 5 Minutes to Wind Down
- Quick floor check: Sweep or vacuum high-traffic areas like the kitchen or entryway.
- Bathroom freshen-up: A fast wipe of toilet and mirror keeps it guest-ready.
- Load the dishwasher: Or wash a few dishes—nothing piles up overnight.
