   Holiday cleaning

 

Preparing your home for the holidays doesn’t have to be stressful. With this holiday cleaning checklist, you can tackle each area of your home step-by-step, ensuring every room is guest-ready. Plus, we’ll reveal how using a few key tools from MetroVac can make Christmas cleaning a breeze!

Living Room & Common Areas

  • Dust all surfaces: Start with shelves, light fixtures, and decor. Use a soft cloth or a blower to prevent dust from spreading.
  • Vacuum rugs, carpets, and furniture: Freshen up these areas with the best vacuum cleaner for pet hair or the best auto vacuums if you have furry friends!
  • Wipe down electronics: An electronics vacuum can safely remove dust from TVs, speakers, and game consoles without damage.
  • Tidy up decor: Rearrange or add holiday decorations to complete the look.

MetroVac Tip: For a portable yet powerful solution, try the VAC N BLO® for those tight spaces and tricky spots like under couches.

Kitchen & Dining Area

  • Clear out the fridge and pantry: Toss out expired items and make room for holiday dishes.
  • Clean counters and cabinets: Use an all-purpose cleaner to wipe down all surfaces, paying extra attention to high-traffic areas.
  • Vacuum crumbs: Use a handheld vacuum in cabinets and around small appliances.
  • Sweep or vacuum floors: Especially useful in areas where crumbs tend to collect.

MetroVac Tip: MetroVac’s Cordless Hand Vac helps keep kitchen touch-ups easy and mess-free, especially for crumbs and spills in hard-to-reach places.

Bathrooms

  • Deep clean the toilet, sink, and shower: Use a scrubbing cleaner and disinfectant.
  • Vacuum baseboards and tight corners: Get rid of dust and hair around sinks and toilets for a pristine bathroom.
