Show Your Mom Some “Honey-Do” Kind of Love This Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and while flowers and breakfast in bed are always appreciated, what if this year’s gift was something even better? Imagine giving Mom a break from the mess, the to-do list, and the constant upkeep. Top to Bottom Cleaning and Handyman Service is here to help you do just that—because nothing says “I love you” like a clean home, fixed-up space, and a day where all she has to do is relax. Imagine Mom walking into a home that’s sparkling clean, freshly touched up, and 100% chore-free. Now that’s love. 


Be sure to take care of the stuff she’s been quietly wishing someone would finally do. Whether it’s patching a hole in the wall or scrubbing behind the fridge (yeah, we went there), we’ve got your back.

The Not-So-Boring "Honey-Do" List 

Forget the usual “mow the lawn” and “tighten a screw.” Here’s our Mother’s-Day-worthy checklist of things that need doing—but don’t always get done:

  • Deep clean the refrigerator (inside, outside, and under it!) 

  • Sanitize countertops and backsplashes

Don’t Forget the Paint Touch-Ups 

One of the easiest ways to refresh a space without a complete renovation? Touch-up paint. Those little scuffs on the walls, chipped door frames, or faded baseboards might not seem like a big deal, but trust us, Mom notices. A quick coat here and there can make a space feel brand new. This Mother’s Day, let us handle those paint touch-ups she’s been silently wishing someone would get to. It's a simple gesture that shows love through action, not just flowers and words. 


Give Mom a Break—She’s Earned It 

What will your mom do while you tackle the honey-do list? Why not send her on a shopping spree or, better yet, an in-home spa treatment? Here are a couple of ideas to go along with your list.

1. Draw her a Lavender Bubble Bath: Add candles, soft music, and a “Do Not Disturb” sign, and let her melt away the stress while you fix that leaky faucet in the kitchen. 

2. DIY Face Mask & Foot Soak Combo: Mix a gentle honey and oatmeal mask, set her up with a warm foot soak…and hang that shelf she’s been eyeing since 2021. 

3. Cozy Robe + Clean House = Instant Zen—Fresh linens, fluffed pillows, and a warm towel fresh out of the dryer. Meanwhile, you knock out that list like a champ. 


The best gift is one she doesn’t have to ask for—and doesn’t have to clean up after. 

Let Top to Bottom Cleaning and Handyman Services take care of the details, the dirty work, and the "I’ll do it later" list. Call us today and let’s show the home (and Mom) some serious love.
