Holiday Cleaning Checklist: Preparing Your Calgary Home for Guests
The holiday season in Calgary is all about cozy evenings, family gatherings, and festive decorations. But before your guests arrive, it’s time to make your home shine! Use this holiday cleaning checklist to prepare every corner - and enjoy the celebration stress-free.
1. Start with a Plan
Before you grab the vacuum, make a list of areas that need the most attention — kitchen, living room, guest rooms, and bathrooms. Schedule cleaning tasks over a few days to avoid last-minute stress.
2. Declutter Before You Clean
Clear out unnecessary items, seasonal decor, or mail piles. A tidy home instantly looks cleaner — and gives your guests a welcoming vibe.
3. Deep Clean the Kitchen
Your kitchen is the heart of every holiday gathering.
- Clean inside the fridge and oven
- Wipe down cabinets and counters
- Sanitize sinks and faucets
- Empty and disinfect the trash bin If you’re short on time, consider a professional deep cleaning service in Calgary — especially before a big family dinner.
4. Refresh Living Areas
Vacuum carpets and upholstery, dust furniture and electronics, and polish glass surfaces. Add a festive touch with candles or a holiday-scented diffuser for that cozy seasonal feel.
5. Sparkling Bathrooms
Guests always notice clean bathrooms!
- Scrub tiles, bathtubs, and sinks
- Polish mirrors and chrome fixtures
- Replace towels and add fresh soap Don’t forget to check the stock of toilet paper and hand towels.
6. Prepare Guest Bedrooms
Fresh linens, dust-free surfaces, and a touch of comfort — that’s all your guests need to feel at home. Add a small welcome basket with toiletries or snacks for an extra warm touch.
7. Entryway & First Impressions
Your entryway sets the tone.
- Sweep or mop floors
- Clean doormats
- Organize shoes and coats Add a small wreath or festive lights to make your guests smile the moment they arrive.
8. Don’t Forget the Details
Light fixtures, blinds, and baseboards often collect hidden dust. These finishing touches can make your home truly sparkle.
