If you live in West County, St. Louis, you know the "New Year" feeling usually arrives right around the time the first frost hits the Missouri oaks. I’m Emerson, and at I Got Maids, we’ve spent years perfecting the post-holiday transition for families from Chesterfield to Town and Country.
As we head into 2026, don't let a cluttered house stall your momentum. Between school schedules in the Parkway and Rockwood School Districts and busy professional lives, your home should be your sanctuary—not another item on your to-do list.
Here is my high-performing 2026 West County Home Reset Checklist to get your space back in peak condition.
1. The Chesterfield Kitchen Revival
The heart of your home likely took a beating during 2025 holiday hosting.
- Deep Clean the Appliances: Wipe down the stainless steel and degrease the range hood.
- Pantry Organization: Clear out expired baking goods from holiday cookies to make room for healthy 2026 meal prep.
- The Pro Tip: If your granite or quartz countertops have lost their luster, a professional Deep Cleaning service can restore that high-end West County shine.
2. The Town and Country "Mudroom" Audit
With Missouri winters, the mudroom is the frontline of defense.
- Salt & Sediment Removal: Winter salt and Missouri mud can ruin hardwood floors. Sweep, mop, and sanitize the entryway.
- Outerwear Rotation: Move the heavy parkas to the front and donate the gear your kids outgrew in 2025.
- Floor Care: If you have high-traffic carpets, 2026 is the year to schedule a professional steam or deep vacuum to remove allergens.
3. Ballwin & Manchester Living Area Refresh
Maximize your comfort for those "stay-at-home" winter weekends.
- Dust High & Low: Tackle ceiling fans and baseboards—two areas often missed during a "quick tidy."
- Window Treatments: Dust your blinds and shutters to let in that rare winter Missouri sunshine.
- Upholstery Care: Flip your couch cushions and vacuum the crevices. You’d be surprised what falls in there during a New Year’s Eve party!
4. Wildwood & Ellisville Bedroom Sanctuary
- Linen Reset: Strip every bed, including the guest rooms used by visiting relatives.
- Declutter Nightstands: Start 2026 with a clear surface to promote better sleep hygiene.
