Guests notice the details. Here is what to take care of in the weeks before the holidays, inside and out.
The holidays bring guests, gatherings and a lot of attention on your home. A little planning in November means you can enjoy December instead of scrambling.
Start outside
The walk to your front door sets the tone. A clean driveway, washed walkways and clear windows make a home feel welcoming before anyone rings the bell.
- Wash the driveway, walkways and entry
- Clean exterior windows and screens
- Clear gutters before winter storms
- Book holiday lighting early, since installers fill up fast
Then move inside
Focus on the rooms guests will actually use. A deep clean of the kitchen, bathrooms and living areas covers most of what people see.
- Deep clean carpets and rugs a week or two ahead
- Refresh guest bathrooms and linens
- Clean the oven and grill before big meals
- Clear out clutter so there is room to gather
Give yourself a buffer
Schedule the big jobs two to three weeks before your first guests arrive. That leaves time for anything that needs a second look.
