A clean, well-presented home makes a lasting impression, whether it’s for a property viewing, a new tenant, or your own family’s comfort. As it is coming up to the busy Festive Season, here are some practical cleaning tips to keep you as sparkling as your tree!
The holidays are full of joy; however, they also bring extra guests, decorations, food, and, let’s face it, some mess. A bit of planning can help you stay on top of it without feeling overwhelmed.
Festive Cleaning Tips:
Declutter Before Decorating:
Make space for decorations and gifts by clearing surfaces and storing away unnecessary items.
Create a ‘Guest Ready’ Zone (this varies on the space you have in your home):
Keep a basket or hooks by the entrance for shoes, coats and bags, to avoid hallway clutter.
Kitchen Organisation (the family can get involved in this one):
Prep and clean as you cook
Empty bins regularly to avoid odours
Line trays and surfaces with baking paper or mats to make post-meal clean-up faster
Daily Tidy Routine:
A quick 10-minute evening clean-up helps keep the home feeling fresh, even during busy hosting days.
Protect Your Home:
Use coasters, table runners and floor mats, to minimise spills and damage from festive celebrations.
Pro Tip: Schedule a pre-Christmas deep clean and a post-holiday reset. This makes entertaining less stressful and helps the new year start on a fresh note.
