The Dos

1. Think ahead

When it comes to your Christmas cleanup routine, having a plan of action can make all the difference. It can also reduce stress because you won't be rushing. You'll stay focused, organized, and prepared to handle Christmas cleanup with ease if you start planning weeks in advance and know that you'll be hosting visitors for the holidays.

2. Put Organization First

You'll need to organize your home before you can focus on Christmas cleaning. This includes clearing out the clutter from cupboards in the kitchen and bathroom, the bedroom and entryway, and other storage spaces. If you're not sure where to begin, look at our advice for organizing the most challenging spaces. You can schedule your Christmas cleaning checklist once the organization is solidified.

If your primary entrance is located there, we advise you to start arranging your mudroom or entryway, as well as the storage places in your kitchen and bathroom. Cleaning will be easier on everyone and your home will feel airier as a result of decluttering.

3. Start easy

Simplicity is key when it comes to holiday cleaning. You should begin with easy duties and progress to the more challenging and involved cleaning after. Consider starting in one of your home's dirtier rooms—the bathroom. Cleaning up this area is, however, extremely simple. Clean the sinks, toilet, and bathtub first. After that, you can proceed to clean the floor, mirrors, and vanity. Finally, take off the fabric shower curtains and bathmats and put them in the washing machine.

4. Dust first, then vacuum or sweep

How often have you assumed that the best place to start is to vacuum? Vacuuming ought to be one of the final things you do, as much as we hate to break it to you. It would be counterproductive to clean or vacuum the floor before dusting. You'll have to re-vacuum because all that dirt and debris will just fall on the floor or carpet. You'll save time and keep your sanity by using this holiday cleaning advice, we promise. You'll need all of your strength to give to your friends and family, after all.

The Don’ts

1.      Slow Down When Cleaning

Although cleaning may not be your favorite activity, it is worthwhile to take your time. Rushing through Christmas cleanup could lead to:

·      Miss spots and leave germs behind

·      extra job for oneself to do

·      The improper products are used, and surfaces are harmed

·      Last-minute cleaning completed

Plan or enlist the help of a reputable cleaning crew to address this issue.

2.      Avoid Cleaning by Yourself

As they say, collaboration makes the dream come true. And if you hope to get your house cleaned before the holiday celebrations, we advise enlisting the help of the entire family. In addition to finishing the task more quickly, your family will feel more accomplished knowing that you collaborated to get your house ready for Christmas visitors.

3. Pay Attention to Hidden Areas

Do you have any drawers and closets that are rarely opened? Have you neglected your crawlspace for weeks, months, or even years? Now is the moment to work on those obscured regions that almost anyone notices. Why? Because the cleanliness of your home and perhaps factors like air quality could be impacted by these areas. You never know if these hidden areas contain leaks or mold spores that could endanger your family's health. If you aren't organizing or cleaning these spaces, you should check to make sure no dangers are developing.

4. Avoid Ignoring Appliances

Wear and tear are inevitable with ongoing use. Your laundry and kitchen equipment occasionally require some tender loving care. Don't skip cleaning the interior and outside of your microwave, oven, stove, refrigerator, etc. You'll be happy you took care of these important appliances before your visitors came when the holidays come around faster than you anticipated.
