It is the time of year again when everything is sparkling and full of cheer, but it can also be a time of high stress. Between hosting Christmas dinners or parties for extended family members, running around to get last-minute gifts, and cooking up all your favourite holiday recipes, you may find yourself with little time to complete a thorough house clean! But don't worry, we've got you covered with our checklist below.
Decluttering
Decluttering your home is one of the most critical steps for house cleaning during the festive season. While you're at it, make sure to check all of your appliances and lighting for dust or grime. Decluttering not only frees up additional room in your house but also makes the chores that follow much easier and more efficient. After you've decluttered and tidy up your house, you can devote your attention to the rooms that get the most use and perform a deep clean.
Common Areas Deep Cleaning
During the holiday season, you'll want to keep your most-used space clean so that you can welcome relatives and visitors. Because there is so little time throughout the festive season, you don't want to clean areas that no one uses or pays much attention to, such as the roof or the gutter. Rather than scouring the whole house, concentrate on cleaning essential areas such as the bathroom, kitchen, dining area, and living room.
Kitchen and Dining Area Cleaning
It's a good idea to clean the kitchen and dining area during this period since you'll be using them to host parties and prepare food at Christmas. Next, clean the rest of your appliances, such as the oven, microwaves, and dishwashers. Finally, wipe down all countertops, including kitchen table tops, for a sparkling finish that will make your house shine in time for guests to arrive.
Disinfect the House
Before having visitors, it's a good idea to disinfect the home ahead of time to ensure that the area is germ-free, especially with Covid19 still around. Make sure you have the essential equipment for house cleaning, including rubber gloves, disinfectant sprays, and a duster at hand before beginning any area of your home. To avoid any unpleasant odours or the transmission of germs, food waste should also be handled promptly.
