There is no time of year when I love my house¢€“or enjoy being at home¢€“more than during the last few months of the year. ‚ There is just something magical about those Dussehra, Diwali, Christmas festive decorations. ‚ I love turning on some mellow Hindustani classical ‚ music and cuddling up on the couch with a cup of garam chai and a good book, or watching one of my favorite holiday classics. ‚ In fact, it might the only time during the whole year when I truly just chill.

But you know what‚ totally‚ ruins my Holiday spirit?

A messy house.

And while during the rest of the year, my‚ regular cleaning routine‚ usually works just fine, when it¢€™s the holiday season, ‚ I just don¢€™t have an extra hour a day to devote to cleaning. ‚ Thus, in the interest of maintaining my sanity, I have found a way to cheat & get it done in half the time.

Holiday Cleaning: Free checklist for a Guest-Ready Home

Holiday Cleaning Get your home guest ready

My Tips:

  • Cleaning is much easier when you have less clutter, so‚ the key to the plan is finding a quick and easy place to stash all the stuff. ‚ If you don¢€™t have time to do a major de-cluttering session, I usually find a big box that I store in an out-of-the-way place such as the spare bedroom.
  • I also prefer cleaning in the order the guests will most probably be arriving in. Like the front porch first, then the Living room, then Dining/ Kitchen and the guest bathroom before the other bathrooms.
  • Enlist your family members in the cleaning task. Your spouse can help with the dusting while your little one can help carry small stuff around.

And, just because I¢€™m nice like that, I thought it would be fun to put together a cute‚ printable checklist‚ that you can hang on your fridge or bulletin board as a reminder. ‚ Consider it an early Diwali gift!
