Why Holiday Prep Requires More Than a Quick Tidy
During the holidays, your home gets more use than usual:
- Extra foot traffic brings more dirt, dust, and grime
- Bathrooms and guest areas see increased usage
- Kitchens become the hub for food, drinks, and spills
- You’re juggling décor, cooking, entertaining—and cleaning
A rushed wipe-down won’t cut it. Instead, focus on deep cleaning key areas and consider hiring TopClean for one-time or recurring services to ensure your home is guest-ready from top to bottom.
Room-by-Room Cleaning Tips for Hosting Holiday Guests
1. The Entryway: First Impressions Matter
Guests notice your entry as soon as they walk in.
- Shake out or replace doormats
- Wipe down doors, handles, and switch plates
- Vacuum or mop the entry floor
- Add a hook or basket for coats and shoes
💡 TopClean’s housekeeping team can help remove built-up grime, scuff marks, and dirt tracked in from outdoors—especially useful during snowy winter months.
2. The Living Room: Your Hosting Headquarters
This is where guests will mingle, relax, and celebrate.
- Dust all surfaces, shelves, and baseboards
- Vacuum under furniture and cushions
- Fluff pillows and throw blankets
- Wipe down remotes, coffee tables, and electronics
