Christmas is just around the corner. If you are still not ready with preparation, here’s a checklist to help you prepare your home for the holidays:
Start with a deep clean in advance. So you can focus on the fun stuff after that. With your children coming home for the break and any potential guest for the holiday season, it’s best to get the cleaning out of the way now.
Clean the spaces that often get neglected throughout the year. Cleaning windows, outdoor spaces,the tops of cupboards, wardrobes, and light fixtures are all projects that you can spread out over the next several days.
In case you do not have enough time for a deep cleaning start by de-cluttering problem areas and getting rid of things that take up valuable space.
Get the kitchen ready. Make sure to clean your fridge and the cooking areas from residual grease or any splatter that may have occurred during cleaning.
Don’t wait until you’re in the thick of it to start preparing for family and guests.
If you have festive flatware that only comes out for big celebratory meals, find a quiet day before holidays to take your pieces off the shelves and clean them so they’re ready to go.
Find cookie cutters or pans you only use a few times a year for big batches. Make sure they are in good working order.
Stock up on seasonal self-care treats like eucalyptus bath salts to melt away winter cold and stress. When doing that you might also want to clean up your bathroom, going around and disinfecting things like the bathtub and toilet.
Don’t forget the guest bedroom if you have one. Making sure that it’s dusted and the sheets are clean is one way to ensure that it’s ready for any guests. If you only have a guest couch, use the vacuum cleaner to go through all the nooks and crannies of it and clean out any crumbs or dust.
However, sometimes these last few pre-holiday days are hard to pass up due to a lot of other year-end tasks. Sometimes cleaning just falls to the side in the face of decorating, shopping for presents and any other work. In that case you can benefit from having a trained professional take care of ensuring your home is spotless. So let us do the cleaning for you. Book an appointment now!
