Getting ready for holiday guests? With busy schedules and all the holiday hustle, preparing your home for visitors can feel stressful. A sparkling clean home leaves a lasting impression, but we all know that finding time for a deep clean isn’t easy.
Here’s a comprehensive deep-cleaning checklist you can expect for each room, helping you feel confident and ready to welcome your guests. And for a truly fresh start, consider hiring our professional cleaning service.
Living Room Deep Clean
The living room is often the heart of holiday gatherings, so making it look its best is essential!
Start by thoroughly dusting, which is key for a spotless look. This means going beyond just the surfaces and includes the details, like dusting from ceiling fans to decor items & trinkets.
Have pets? Grab your vacuum and clean up the pet hair too. You don’t want it to get on people’s party attire when they sit on the couch.
Then move to cleaning all floors. Whether they’re carpet, tile, or wood, floors take a lot of wear. So, give them some extra TLC to make the whole room feel refreshed.
Kitchen Deep Clean
With holiday cooking and baking, your kitchen is bound to be the center of activity, so it’s worth giving it a solid deep clean.
Honestly, you may want to start by clearing out and wiping down fridge shelves (guests are probably going to look in there). Making space and ensuring cleanliness here is important, especially if company will be bringing over holiday dishes or if you’re planning to host a large meal.
Wipe off cabinets (hardware too) with a microfiber cloth and pH-balanced, eco-friendly cleaning spray. For your appliances wipe them with a microfiber and the recommended cleaner for the surface – or you can try a little dish soap and warm water to cut through any lingering grease & grime.
Finish by disinfecting all surfaces to keep the area food-safe and sparkling clean.
Bedroom Deep Clean
Even if guests aren’t staying in your spare bedroom, keeping it clean adds peace of mind and gives the whole house a fresh feel. Start by freshening up all linens, including sheets and blankets. Adding a stain treatment or washing pillowcases is a nice touch to make everything feel crisp and ready.
A quick tidy-up of your closet is also worthwhile—especially if guests might be storing coats or bags in there. Clean mirrors and light fixtures to brighten up the space and add a welcoming, comfortable ambiance.
Bathroom Deep Clean
The bathroom is a high-traffic area, especially during gatherings, so give it some extra attention to ensure it’s guest-ready. Start with the toilet, scrubbing every part for a spotless finish. Using special treatments around the base and other areas can ensure that the room feels especially clean.
For added detail, clear out personal items from the medicine cabinet (or the drawers) and wipe down the shelves. This small step allows guests to use the space without hesitation, making them feel more at ease.
Finally, wipe down the mirrors and pay close attention to your countertops and sink areas to complete the bathroom’s deep clean.
