Cleaning Hints and Tips
12 Days of Christmas Cleaning: Tips to Get Your Home Holiday-Ready
Here we are again, just weeks off from another Christmas! Where did the year go? But we all know that Christmas doesn’t just bring joy but also the inevitable hustle and bustle of preparing your home for guests, decorations, and celebrations. To make the lead-up to Christmas stress-free, we've created a simple 12-day cleaning plan. By tackling a little each day, your home will be sparkling and guest-ready in no time.
Day 1: Declutter Main Areas
Start with a good decluttering of the areas you know will be frequented. Put items back where they belong, or find a home for extra items you have accumulated over the year!
Bonus tip: donate items in good condition - you might just make someone's Christmas!
Day 2: Dust from Top to Bottom
Grab your microfiber cloth and let’s get dusting. Start with the often forgotten areas - ceiling fans, light fixtures, and shelves. Work your way down to tables and surfaces.
Day 3: Tackle Windows and Mirrors
Give your windows and mirrors a streak-free shine. Not only will they look nice, but natural light bouncing off clean windows enhances the festive atmosphere indoors.
Day 4: Deep Clean the Bathroom
Pay extra attention to the bathroom guests will use. Scrub the sink, toilet, and shower. We also love adding a festive touch with a holiday-scented candle or soap.
Day 5: Freshen Up Soft Furnishings
Vacuum couches, rugs, and curtains to eliminate dust and odours. For bonus points, spot-clean any stains.
Day 6: Kitchen Deep Clean, Part 1 (Fridge)
Empty the fridge, toss expired items, and wipe down shelves. You’ll need space to store that yummy ham or delicious pav!
Day 7: Kitchen Deep Clean, Part 2 (Oven and Counters)
Give your oven and stovetop a scrub and wipe down the counters. Don’t forget to clean those sneaky cupboard handles and appliances.
Day 8: Polish and Shine
If you are ready to go one step extra this holiday, polish wood furniture, clean glass surfaces, and shine up any metal fixtures. The little details add an extra sparkle to your holiday decor.
Day 9: Outdoor Spaces
Planning on entertaining outside? Sweep the porch, wipe down outdoor furniture, and tidy up the garden.
Day 10: Guest Room Prep
Make up the guest room with fresh linens, and to add a small festive touch, put in a poinsettia or Christmas-scented sachet.
Day 11: Floors and Carpets
Vacuum and mop your floors, paying extra attention to high-traffic areas. If needed, spot-clean carpets or hire a professional for a quick refresh.
Day 12: Final Touches
It’s time to decorate! Set up your Christmas tree, hang the stockings, and add festive touches around the house. Light candles or diffuse essential oils for that holiday scent.
Pro Tip: Keep It Eco-Friendly
At Pure Eco Clean, we believe cleaning can be festive and green. Use natural cleaners like vinegar, baking soda, and essential oils to tackle messes without harmful chemicals. Not only are they effective, but they also keep your home safe for kids, pets, and guests.
By breaking cleaning tasks into manageable chunks, you'll keep holiday stress at bay and have more time to enjoy the season. And if you need an extra helping hand, Pure Eco Clean is here to make your home shine. Let us take care of the heavy lifting so you can focus on making memories this Christmas.
