The holiday season is just around the corner, and there’s no better time to refresh your home with a good declutter. Clearing out the clutter creates a welcoming, organised space for family and friends—and leaves room for festive decor. Here are the essential areas to tackle before the celebrations begin, and how Sweepsouth can make it even easier!
1. Declutter your entryway.
As the first thing guests see, a clean entryway creates a great first impression.
Shoes, coats, and bags.
Take some time to organise shoes, coats, and bags that pile up by the door. Store off-season items and keep only essentials in easy-to-reach places.
Organise entryway storage.
Use hooks, baskets, and shelves to keep everything tidy. For a fresh start, book a cleaning with Sweepsouth to ensure your entryway sparkles.
2. Streamline the living room.
The living room is where most of the festive gatherings happen, so make sure it’s clutter-free.
Tidy up surfaces.
Clear out items that don’t belong on coffee tables, shelves, and side tables. Pack away anything that doesn’t add to the festive vibe.
Freshen up with a deep clean.
After decluttering, schedule a Sweepsouth cleaning for a thorough dusting, vacuuming, and fresh start. This will keep your living room inviting and guest-ready.
3. Refresh the kitchen.
A clean and organised kitchen is essential for holiday cooking and entertaining.
Clear out unused pantry items.
Start by sorting through your pantry, fridge, and freezer, and dispose of expired items. Organise what remains for easy access during holiday meal prep.
Tidy up counters and cabinets.
Make space on your countertops by stowing away appliances you don’t use often. Decluttering kitchen cabinets will also help when you need quick access to dinnerware and cooking tools. Sweepsouth offers detailed kitchen cleaning, so your space will be spotless before the festivities.
4. Organise the guest room.
If you’re expecting overnight guests, a clutter-free guest room will make them feel welcome.
Sort out closets and drawers.
Clear space in closets and drawers for your guests’ belongings. Consider placing fresh linens and towels so they feel at home.
