Holiday Ready, The Ultimate Pre-Guest Cleaning Checklist
The holidays are just around the corner, are you ready to welcome guests into your home?
Whether you're hosting Thanksgiving dinner, Friendsgiving festivities, or just expecting family to drop by, having a clean, fresh home can make all the difference.
At Maxcare Cleaning, we know how stressful holiday prep can be. That’s why we created the ultimate pre-guest cleaning checklist, so you can stress less and celebrate more.
1. Start With the Floors
Carpets and rugs tend to hold onto everything, crumbs, pet hair, allergens, and odors. Regular vacuuming helps, but a professional carpet cleaning can restore freshness and vibrancy before guests arrive.
Maxcare’s carpet cleaning service:
Lifts deep-seated dirt and stains
Eliminates allergens and pet dander
Dries quickly, so you're ready in time for company
Pro tip: Schedule this a week or two before guests arrive, so you have time to reset the furniture and enjoy the clean space.
2. Refresh the Furniture
You may not notice the spots on your couch or the dust on your dining chairs, but your guests might.
Upholstery cleaning helps with:
Removing body oils, food spills, and pet odors
Restoring color and softness
Improving indoor air quality
From your living room sofas to your kitchen chairs, a deep clean will make your furniture feel brand new.
3. Clean the Hard Surfaces
Holiday hosting means kitchen prep, spills, and high foot traffic. Don’t overlook your tile, grout, and hardwood floors, which can hide grime even when they appear clean.
Maxcare’s hard surface cleaning:
Deep scrubs tile and grout
Removes residue from hardwood floors
Brings back shine without leaving slippery residue
Clean floors make a big impact, and guests notice.
4. Eliminate Lingering Odors
Between pets, cooking, and day-to-day living, odors build up over time. If you’re welcoming people into your home, a fresh-smelling space is a must.
Maxcare offers:
Carpet and upholstery deodorizing
Odor removal treatments
Air duct cleaning for cleaner indoor air
Tip: Add a subtle seasonal candle after your cleaning to complete the cozy vibe.
5. Plan Your Cleaning Schedule Wisely
For best results, we recommend:
Booking your professional cleaning at least 1–2 weeks before Thanksgiving
Clearing clutter before your appointment
Letting us know if you have pets, special fabrics, or high-traffic areas that need extra care
The earlier you schedule, the more availability we can offer!
