The holiday season has arrived, and it’s time to prepare your house for guests! Use this holiday cleaning checklist (and check it twice) to have a seamless holiday season.

Switching out your seasonal decor makes for a great time to clean and spruce up your home – especially before you’ll be inviting guests over for the holidays.

From decorating your home, buying gifts, and hosting family gatherings and holiday parties, it can be a stressful time of year. The most important thing is to remember to enjoy the season and prioritize your to-do list so you know what has to be done now, what can wait, and what you can call in the professionals for.

Getting your home guest ready doesn’t have to mean a deep clean from top to bottom; it can simply be tidying up and decluttering the spaces you know your guests will be, like the bathrooms, entryway, kitchen, etc.

Keep this checklist handy for any holiday cleaning.
