Timeline

  1. Two to three weeks before: declutter, deep clean the oven and fridge, clean windows and curtains
  2. One week before: wash bedding for guests, clean the bathrooms, and tidy the entrance
  3. The day before: vacuum and mop, clean the kitchen, set out fresh towels and empty the bins
  4. On the day: wipe surfaces and keep the bathroom stocked

Guest touches

  • Clean sheets and towels in the guest room
  • A clear surface in the bathroom and a stocked toilet-roll holder
  • Fresh air in each room

Book early

Cleaners get busy in December, so if you want help, book your deep clean for early in the month, or in late November.

Common questions

When should I book a cleaner for Christmas?
