The holidays are a time for joy, laughter, and gathering with loved ones — not stressing over cluttered countertops or last-minute cleaning frenzies. With Thanksgiving and Christmas right around the corner, now’s the perfect time to get your home holiday-ready so you can actually enjoy the season.
Here are our top tips to help your home sparkle and stay stress-free all season long:
🧽 1. Start with a Deep Clean
Before the decorations come out and the guests start rolling in, give your home a deep clean. Focus on high-traffic areas like the kitchen, bathrooms, and entryway — the spaces your guests will notice most.
- Wipe down baseboards, light switches, and doors.
- Clean out the fridge to make room for holiday cooking.
- Refresh guest bedrooms and wash linens.
Pro Tip: A professional cleaning service can handle this step for you — giving you a fresh, spotless home to build on for the holidays.
✨ 2. Declutter Before You Decorate
Before adding holiday décor, take a few minutes to declutter. Clear countertops, tidy shelves, and pack away items that won’t be used until the new year.
A clutter-free home not only looks better but also makes decorating easier (and clean-up faster later on).
🕯️ 3. Create a Guest-Ready Space
If you’re hosting friends or family, prep your guest room now so you’re not scrambling at the last minute.
- Wash bedding and add cozy touches like throw blankets and candles.
- Make space in the closet and dresser for guests’ belongings.
- Stock up on essentials: fresh towels, extra toiletries, and a few holiday treats.
🧺 4. Keep Up with Quick Daily Touch-Ups
Once your deep clean is done, focus on short daily habits that keep things looking polished:
- Wipe kitchen counters each evening.
- Run the dishwasher before bed.
- Do a quick vacuum or sweep every few days.
Just 10 minutes a day can keep your home feeling fresh — even during the busiest weeks.
❄️ 5. Don’t Forget Winter Maintenance
Preparing for the holidays isn’t only about appearances — it’s also about comfort and safety.
- Replace HVAC filters for better air quality.
- Check windows and doors for drafts.
- Clean out gutters and ensure walkways are safe and clear.
A little maintenance now prevents headaches when the temperature drops.
🎁 6. Schedule a Pre-Holiday & Post-Holiday Clean
Between hosting, cooking, and gift wrapping, your home will see a lot of activity this season. Booking a professional cleaning before and after the holidays helps you reset and relax — so you can start the new year refreshed.
