The holidays are right around the corner! And that means it's time to make your home sparkle before family and friends arrive. Whether you're hosting a holiday dinner, Christmas morning breakfast, or a week of cozy gatherings, a thorough cleaning helps your home feel welcoming and guest-ready!
At Zerorez, we know preparing for the holiday season can get hectic. That's why we've put together this holiday cleaning checklist—to help you focus on what matters most while we handle the deep cleaning.
1. Start with a Deep Clean of Your Living Spaces
Your family room and living spaces are the heart of the home during the holidays. From watching movies to unwrapping gifts, these are the spots where memories are made—so let's get them looking their best.
Vacuum rugs, carpets, and floors (and don't forget under the furniture).
Dust shelves, picture frames, and coffee tables.
Wipe down surfaces like countertops and tables for a clean, fresh finish.
Replace throw pillows and blankets with festive ones for a cozy touch.
2. Focus on the Guest Room and Bathrooms
When holiday guests arrive, having a clean and comfortable guest room will help your visitors feel right at home. Here are a few tasks you shouldn't miss:
Dust shelves, headboards, and lamps.
Vacuum and mop the floors.
Replace linens and fluff the pillows.
Tidy any clutter to create a relaxing space.
A clean and tidy bathroom is just as important. Here are a few essential bathroom cleaning tasks to remember:
Scrub sinks, toilets, and tubs to remove soap scum and grime.
Replace toilet paper and set out clean hand towels.
Wipe mirrors, countertops, and surfaces for a streak-free shine.
Keep extra essentials (like dish towels, tissues, and lotion) handy for the guests.
3. Refresh the Kitchen Before the Holiday Cooking Begins
Your kitchen will be the center of all holiday cooking and baking, so getting it organized and spotless makes a world of difference.
Wipe kitchen counters and sanitize sinks.
Clean out the fridge—toss expired items to make room for the meal prep.
Soak and wash dishes, then replace dish towels.
Don't forget to wipe down the range, oven, and tile backsplash.
Mop the floors for a shine that lasts all season long.
If your kitchen or dining area tile and grout are looking dull, Zerorez can help. Our professional tile cleaning service flushes out trapped dirt and grime, leaving your floors cleaner and brighter.
4. Prepare the Dining Room for Your Feast
The dining room is where everyone gathers for your special holiday dinner, so it's crucial to make it shine. Here are a few dining room to-dos:
Polish your table and chairs.
Clean or vacuum area rugs under the table.
Dust light fixtures and wipe down windows for a bright, festive glow.
5. Don't Forget the Details Before Guests Arrive
The little things make a big difference when creating that holiday-ready feeling:
Freshen up the laundry and fold clean linens.
Replace soap in bathrooms and hand towels near sinks.
Tidy entryways by vacuuming mats and organizing shoes.
Light candles or add natural scents for a fresh, welcoming aroma.
