Quick Cleaning Guide for the Holidays

‘Tis nearly the season! And for many of us, that means hosting holiday parties for family and friends in addition to decorating and cleaning the house. With these quick cleaning tips from Christina’s Complete Clean, you can have things tidied and ready for guests in no-time.

Start with a quick exercise in decluttering.

Put away anything that isn’t seasonally inspired, and quickly organize what you will keep, donate or throw out. This will make space for any other décor items that you will be putting out. If this first step makes you feel queasy, you may want to call in a professional organizer.

Stay the course when deep cleaning.

Consider the zones most used when hosting: front entryway, dining room, living room, kitchen, and bathroom, and focus on these areas for a thorough house cleaning. It’s easy to get distracted and start organizing your sock drawer or jewelry box, but trust us, when those guests start coming in, you’ll be happy you focused on the high-traffic areas and made room in the coat closet.

Focus on the kitchen.

A lot of seasonal entertaining revolves around food and drink, and chances are, guests will be in and out of your kitchen. Make sure your fridge is spotless and that your oven has been cleaned to avoid bad odors you’re cooking.

By setting aside some time and sticking to your cleaning plan, you can get your home clean and ready for even your most particular guests.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by everything there is to do this season or you simply want to have time to relax and enjoy the lead-up to the holidays, the team at Christina’s Complete Clean would be happy to get your Carmel- or Indianapolis-area home cleaned and ready for the holidays.
