Holiday Cleaning Checklist: How to Get Your Home Guest-Ready

May 8, 2024

The holiday season is a time for family, friends, and celebrations. With guests on the way, making sure your home is sparkling clean is just as important as preparing the food and decorations. A thorough holiday cleaning not only makes your space more welcoming but also promotes a healthier environment for everyone.

At HydroClean Carpet Cleaning, we specialize in professional carpet, upholstery, tile, grout, and area rug cleaning for homeowners in Colorado Springs. Our IICRC-certified technicians use advanced equipment to deliver results that go beyond what standard household cleaning can achieve.

Here is your complete guide to cleaning for the holidays, along with tips on when to call in the professionals.

Living Room Holiday Cleaning Checklist

The living room is the heart of holiday gatherings. It is where family members open presents, watch movies, and share laughs. To make your living room warm and inviting, start with these basics:

  • Dust tables, shelves, and décor

  • Vacuum carpets, rugs, and couches

  • Wash throw blankets and pillows

  • Clean blinds and windows

  • Organize books, toys, and entertainment items

  • Wipe down remotes, controllers, and light switches

For a deeper clean, schedule professional carpet, upholstery, or rug cleaning. Professionals can remove stains, odors, and allergens that household vacuums and sprays cannot, leaving your living room fresh for holiday entertaining.

Kitchen Holiday Cleaning Checklist

The kitchen is often the busiest room during the holidays, from baking cookies to preparing holiday dinners. A spotless kitchen makes a lasting impression on guests. Be sure to:

  • Empty the fridge and discard expired food

  • Clean the oven, stovetop, and countertops

  • Sweep and mop floors

  • Wash kitchen linens and rugs

  • Organize the pantry and cupboards

  • Run the dishwasher and put away dishes

If you want a truly polished look, hire a professional for tile and grout cleaning. Professionals can restore shine to your floors and eliminate deep-seated grime that regular mopping leaves behind.

Bathroom Holiday Cleaning Checklist

Bathrooms are another space that guests will notice. A clean, fresh-smelling bathroom is essential for comfort. Include these tasks on your list:

  • Clean sinks, toilets, tubs, and showers

  • Wipe down mirrors and counters

  • Wash rugs and towels

  • Empty trash cans

  • Sweep and vacuum floors

  • Organize drawers and shelves

For a finishing touch, consider professional tile and grout cleaning. This removes soap scum, mold, and bacteria, leaving your bathroom looking spotless and sanitary.

How HydroClean Can Help With Holiday Cleaning

 

Professional Carpet Cleaning

Vacuuming can only remove surface dirt. Our hot water extraction and steam cleaning methods eliminate embedded allergens, stains, and odors, leaving carpets cleaner and fluffier.

Area Rug Cleaning

We provide an 11-step professional area rug cleaning process at our Colorado Springs facility. Each rug is carefully cleaned to remove dirt, stains, and odors while protecting delicate fibers.

Tile & Grout Cleaning

Our technicians scrub grout lines with specialized brushes and solutions, then apply a sealant to protect against future staining. Your kitchen and bathroom floors will look like new.

Upholstery Cleaning

From food spills to pet accidents, upholstery takes a lot of abuse during the holidays. Professional cleaning restores furniture by removing odors and stains so your guests can relax comfortably.
