When do you clean for Christmas? The best time to start is as soon as possible in December, preferably a few weeks before Christmas and the festive chaos begins. This way, you avoid getting stressed about cleaning in the middle of the Christmas celebration, you’ll have a clean home, and much more time for all the fun!

How do you start Christmas cleaning? The first step is to pick up and clear away everything unnecessary before you get into the heavy cleaning. Once everything unnecessary is out of the way, you have the best conditions to clean properly for Christmas.

What does Christmas cleaning involve? A common question is what actually gets included in the cleaning before Christmas. Our tips for effective cleaning at home are to spend most time on the rooms where you spend the most time during the holiday, such as the hallway, living room, kitchen, and bathroom. Start with a deeper deep cleaning, where dirt and dust that has accumulated over the year are removed, followed by window cleaning, vacuuming, and mopping the floors. Kitchen cleaning is also an important part, focusing on cleaning the stove, refrigerator, and other surfaces to prepare the kitchen for Christmas cooking and baking.

How do you tackle Christmas cleaning? One tip is to use a checklist for how to clean. This way, you get a clear plan and can check off one thing at a time. 

Example of how a Christmas cleaning checklist might look:

Living Room

• Pick up
• Vacuum
• Mop

Kitchen

• Clean oven and stove
• Clear refrigerator and freezer and wipe out
• Clean kitchen hood and filter
• Wipe down cabinet doors

Bathroom

• Clean sink
• Clean mirror
• Wipe handles, cabinet doors, walls
• Clean and polish any shower walls
