Christmas Cleaning Checklist: Prep Your Home for the Festive Season

The holiday season can be hectic, but with a little planning and some smart cleaning strategies, your home can shine like a Christmas star. Here’s a handy checklist to help you get your home holiday ready.

  1. Declutter Before You Decorate 

Before you break out the garlands and twinkling lights, take some time to declutter each room. Clear surfaces and create space for decorations and holiday displays. This makes it easier to clean, and you’ll have a blank canvas to work your Christmas magic.

  • Tip: Donate items you don’t need. Giving to others during the holiday season is always a win-win!
  1. Focus on High-Traffic Areas 

During the holidays, certain areas of your home will see a lot more foot traffic than usual. Prioritise these spaces to make them guest ready.

  • Living Room: Dust and vacuum, wipe down electronics, and fluff pillows and cushions.
  • Bathrooms: Deep-clean your bathrooms, scrub tiles, and add fresh hand towels and scented candles for a festive touch.
  • Kitchen: Clear countertops and sanitise surfaces to make cooking easier. Make room in your fridge for holiday treats and leftovers!
  1. Dust All Surfaces and Corners 

Dust tends to settle on surfaces you may not think of, like the tops of picture frames, window ledges, and light fixtures. Holiday decorations have a way of highlighting these spots, so grab a microfiber cloth and dust away.

  • Pro tip: Use a vacuum attachment for hard-to-reach places like corners and ceilings!

 

  1. Polish Glass and Mirrors

From mirrors to glass coffee tables, any reflective surfaces can add a sparkle to your holiday decor when they’re clean. Take some extra time to polish these areas, especially in rooms where you’ll be hosting.

  1. Freshen Up Fabrics and Upholstery 

It’s easy to overlook your curtains, cushions, and sofa upholstery, but these can trap dust and odours. Give your furniture a little extra attention before guests arrive by vacuuming upholstery or, if needed, giving it a professional clean.

  1. Don’t Forget the Guest Room 

If you have friends or family staying over, prepare a cosy space for them to relax. Change the sheets, add some festive touches, and place a fresh towel set on the bed. A quick dusting and vacuuming will make the room feel inviting and hotel-level ready.

  1. Bring in the Scent of the Season 

From cinnamon sticks to pine-scented candles, having a holiday aroma in the air can bring out the warmth of the season. After you’ve cleaned, add a festive air freshener or candle to each room.

  • Bonus: If you have pets, make sure any scents are pet-safe and non-toxic.
