3. Strip the Beds and Wash the Sheets First
Since it takes time for bed linens to wash and dry, start with the bedding first as part your gift for Mom.

Put the old sheets in the wash and let the machine do all the work while you spruce up the rest of the house.
4. Bathrooms Next for Mom’s Gift
Next, tackle the bathrooms. This is an area that’s not usually very pleasant to tackle. Just go ahead and get it over with first. Don’t forget to check and refill Mom’s drinks and snacks periodically. Even if she protests a little, you know she’s going to love a sparkling bathroom.

7. Next up, Cabinets
Wipe down the fronts of cabinets and cabinet door handles. For wooden cabinets, use a small amount of wood furniture polish on a rag and polish up the cabinets. Mom’s gift for Mother’s Day will amaze her at how much newer her kitchen looks with the cabinets so well-cared for.
