It’s hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner. This year has flown by! And its usually at this time of the year when everything goes a little bit wild – work deadlines get tighter, weekends are filled with catch-ups, and theres always something to get done.

As professional cleaners in Melbourne, we like to take some time at this time of the year to help our clients prepare for the festive season. Its a time when keeping your spaces clean is vital.

Whether you’ve got friends or family popping over to see you, or youre preparing your office, school or surgery for a shutdown period, cleaning is something you cant escape and should have on your to-do list.

Here are our top tips for preparing for the end of the year.

Keep your home clean over the festive period

The Christmas/New Year period is traditionally a time when we have extra visitors to our homes. Whether you’re hosting Christmas or just having friends and family pop by, there are things you can do to keep on top of all the chores.

  • Get your carpets steam cleaned to freshen them up – not only do clean carpets smell better, but they make the room look cleaner
  • Clean your windows inside and out to remove all the dirt and dust from the spring season
  • Clean up after your guests have left (stack the dishwasher, wipe down your benches, etc.) so you don’t wake up the next day to a mess to clean
  • If you’ve exchanged presents, fold up the wrapping paper (rather than scrunching it up) to save some room in your recycle bin
  • Spruce up your outdoor area (dust off cobwebs, wash down pavements, etc.) and encourage guests to sit outside to save your floors inside

Here are some handy guides to cleaning your home and having it ready for the festive season:

Cleaning your commercial premises over the Christmas/New Year period

Are you taking a break over the Christmas/New Year period? Many businesses do. Its also the long school holiday break where classrooms are locked up and forgotten about until the following year.

But before you clock off for the year, make sure you’ve arranged for your office, school, or commercial property to be cleaned before you leave.

As professional commercial cleaners, heres what we recommend:

  • Book early to get cleaners through either before you shut or just before you plan to reopen in the new year
  • While you have an empty space, its the perfect time to get your carpets steam cleaned to freshen them up, sanitise them and remove any stains that may have occurred
  • Clean all your windows (inside and out) to remove all the dust, pollens, and grime build-up from spring
  • Get your air conditioning or heating vents serviced and cleaned, replacing filters and removing dust
  • Clean out your fridge before you shut down, asking employees to remove any food so it doesnt go rotten and cause a stink fest while youre not there
  • Ask employees to have their desks cleaned down, removing any personal items (especially food or containers) from their drawers
  • Do a general de-clutter of your space, putting things back where they belong, throwing out rubbish etc.
  • If you’re having an end-of-year party in the office or staff room (typically on the last day of work), remember to ask everyone to clean up before they leave and remove any rubbish so it doesn’t linger until you open again

Heres a handy checklist to keep your office clean over the Christmas/New Year break.
