When should I start cleaning for Christmas


4–6 Weeks Before Christmas (Early to Mid-November)


  • Declutter: Begin by going through main living areas and decluttering cupboards, drawers, and other storage spaces. This helps create room for holiday décor, gifts, and visiting guests.

  • Deep Clean: Tackle any areas that don’t get attention often, like behind furniture, under beds, ceiling fans, and windows. It’s also a great time to have your carpets and upholstery clearing done.


3 Weeks Before Christmas (Late November to Early December)


  • Decor Prep: Start cleaning areas where you’ll put up your decorations. Dust shelves, wipe down mantels, and make sure any surfaces where lights or decorations go are sparkling.

  • Kitchen Deep Clean: Clean the fridge, oven to prepare for holiday baking and cooking. This is especially helpful if you’ll be hosting and need extra space for groceries.


2 Weeks Before Christmas (Mid-December)


  • Guest Room Prep: If you have guests coming, prepare the guest room. Wash bedding, freshen up the mattress, clean the room, and stock it with essentials like fresh towels.

  • Touch Up High-Traffic Areas: Revisit high-traffic areas like entryways, bathrooms, and living rooms, doing a quick clean to maintain these spaces.


1 Week Before Christmas


  • Final Touches: Focus on kitchen and bathroom cleaning surfaces, and floors. It’s also a good time to set up any guest amenities and make sure you’re stocked on essentials (toilet paper, hand soap, etc.).


A Couple of Days Before Christmas


  • Quick Clean: Do a final walk-through of your home. Focus on a quick sweep, hoover, and dust to keep things fresh for Christmas Day.


This schedule keeps cleaning manageable and helps keep your home ready for decorations, guests, and all the festivities!
