Deck the Halls, Not the Dust: How to Keep Your Home Spotless During the Holidays

The holidays are here—cue the jingle bells, glittery decorations, and… dust bunnies? Let’s face it, between decking the halls and perfecting your holiday spread, the last thing you want is a messy house. But don’t worry—we’ve got your back! Whether you’re hosting the in-laws or just want your home to feel magical, here are some fun and foolproof tips to keep your space sparkling (without losing your holiday cheer).

1. Give Your Home a Holiday Glow-Up!Before you start decking the halls, kick those dust bunnies to the curb. Start with a deep clean—dust surfaces, vacuum those hard-to-reach spots, and mop floors until they’re sleigh clean!(Feeling overwhelmed? Let us do the heavy lifting!

2. Make a "Holiday Cleaning Playlist"Cleaning doesn’t have to feel like a chore when you’ve got Mariah Carey or Michael Bublé serenading you! Create a festive playlist, grab your broom (bonus points if you dance with it), and make cleaning part of the holiday fun.

3. Focus on High-Drama Areas

You know where your guests are heading: the entryway, kitchen, and living room. Hit these spots first! Wipe down counters, fluff the pillows, and make your space look Instagram-worthy.(Pro tip: Keep a backup plan—aka us! Schedule a quick clean-up here)

4. Decorate Like a Clean Freak

We know you love your twinkling lights and endless garlands, but don’t let them turn into dust magnets. Wipe down decorations as you unpack them and store the boxes neatly (future you will thank you).

5. SOS for Stains

Holiday disasters happen—wine spills, gravy drips, rogue glitter explosions. Tackle stains ASAP with a quick remedy (Google is your best friend), or better yet, call the pros for a cleanup rescue!(Not a DIY stain-removal fan? Here’s how we can help.)
