Get Your Home Ready for Christmas with Clean Planet!
Christmas in Aotearoa is a time of sunshine, BBQs, and family gatherings. The festive season brings with it the opportunity to create cherished memories with loved ones. As the holiday spirit begins to fill the air, now is the perfect time to prepare your home for the celebrations. Whether hosting Christmas lunch or simply welcoming friends and family, a little planning can go a long way in creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.
Here’s how to get your home Christmas-ready:
1. Declutter for a Fresh Start
Before diving into deep cleaning, start with decluttering. Go room by room and remove items you no longer need. Sort them into categories such as donate, recycle, and dispose. Decluttering will make your home feel more spacious and create room for Christmas decorations and gifts.
2. Freshen Up Your Living Spaces
The living room is often the heart of Christmas festivities. Start by giving it a good clean. Dust shelves, clean the windows, and vacuum your carpets or rugs.
- Dust and Wipe Surfaces: Clear dust from shelves, furniture, and décor. Don’t forget to clean under cushions and behind furniture
- Carpets and Rugs: Vacuum thoroughly or book a professional carpet cleaning service to eliminate stains and odours. Clean Planet offers eco-friendly carpet cleaning solutions that are safe for your family and pets
- Windows and Curtains: Let the light shine in by cleaning windows and laundering curtains or wiping blinds.
If your furniture has seen better days, refresh it with festive throw pillows or a new slipcover. A sparkling living room sets the stage for a joyful holiday season.
3. Make Your Kitchen Shine
With all the cooking and baking that Christmas entails, a clean and organised kitchen is essential. Declutter your pantry, wipe down surfaces, and ensure your oven is spotless and ready for the big day.
- Clean Appliances: Wipe down your oven, microwave, and refrigerator. Defrost the freezer if necessary
- Organise Cabinets: Check for expired pantry items and make space for Christmas goodies
- Sanitise Countertops and Sinks: Use non-toxic cleaning solutions to remove grease and grime.
If you’re short on time, Clean Planet’s professional home cleaning services can give your kitchen the deep clean it needs.
4. Freshen Up Bathrooms
Bathrooms should be pristine, especially if you’re hosting guests. Guests will likely use your bathroom, so give it a thorough clean. Add fresh towels, a festive-scented candle, or a small vase of flowers for a welcoming touch.
- Scrub and Sanitise: Pay attention to tiles, grout, and fixtures
- Declutter Vanity Tops: Store away non-essential toiletries to keep the space tidy
- Add Festive Touches: Consider adding scented candles or holiday-themed hand towels for a touch of Christmas cheer.
5. Organise Your Guest Rooms
If you’re hosting out-of-town guests, take time to prepare your spare room. Fresh linens, plump pillows, and a festive touch like a small stocking or Christmas ornament will make them feel at home. A little effort goes a long way in showing your hospitality.
- Fresh Linens: Wash and replace bedding with fresh sheets
- Dust and Vacuum: Ensure the room is free of dust and allergens
- Add a Personal Touch: Place a small Christmas decoration or a basket of essentials for your guests.
First impressions count, so give your home’s exterior some attention. If you have outdoor furniture, give it a clean and ensure it’s ready for guests. For a fresh and inviting look, mow the lawn, trim hedges, and add some potted flowers.
Final Touches for a Magical Christmas
Once your home is clean and tidy, you can focus on decorating and creating the perfect festive atmosphere. Light candles, play Christmas music and enjoy the satisfaction of a beautifully clean home.
