Why Pre-Holiday Cleaning Matters
We all know Thanksgiving is not just about enjoying fantastic food, it’s also about creating an experience.
And we know that a clean home is a different experience from a messy one. Everyone likes comfort, joy, and a room that smells nice!
Plus, we all know that Thanksgiving is a busy, stressful day. We want to spend it having fun with our guests, cooking and celebrating.
The last thing you want to do during Thanksgiving is cleaning your guest bathroom or vacuuming your kitchen.
But don’t worry! 1 day is still plenty of time to get your home ready, as long as you know the areas to tackle and follow the right steps.

Areas to Focus On Before Thanksgiving
Here are the high-traffic areas you should focus on before Thanksgiving!
The Kitchen
We all know the kitchen is a hard area to take care of.
Deep cleaning appliances would be ideal, but because of a time restraint, Denton Maids suggest you focus on the oven. A quick, safe solution is using low-fume oven cleaner. The fumes won’t be as intense, but make sure you open a window as well and to leave the room for 2 – 3 hours.
Declutter and clean your countertops as well. Clear surfaces make your room look brighter and more spacious.
Pro tip: use an all-purpose cleaner to clean the front of your cabinets as well. Make sure the process is fast and steady.
It won’t take more than 10 minutes and you will remove months of grease and grime. Your cabinets will look clean and shiny in less than 10 minutes!
Dining Room
In your dining room, focus on polishing furniture, especially wooden furniture. Vacuum your furniture pieces, and pay attention to corners and the area under your table.
For wooden furniture, add 2 – 3 drops of lemon essential oil to a microfiber cloth and wipe for extra shine and fragrance.
Replace all your linens, such as tablecloths and reusable napkins with freshly laundered ones.
Living Room
The living room is the heart of the home and it’s where your guests are going to spend more quality time. Clear away magazines, toys and anything else that might be distracting.
Take at least 30 minutes to run your upholstery cleaner or your steam cleaner on your couch, chairs or any other fabrics like pillows and blankets.
Get your glass cleaner to wipe your windows clean, and clean any other glass surfaces like tabletops and mirrors. Your living room will look brighter and more open.
Light candles or use diffusers with warm scents like cinnamon or vanilla for a cozy ambiance.
Don’t forget to vacuum and wipe your light fixtures. Ignoring your light fixtures is one of the telltale signs that your house wasn’t cleaned properly!
Bathrooms
Denton Maids’ customers always want to make sure their guest bathrooms are extra clean before events like Thanksgiving. But there’s no need to worry!
Here’s our suggestion: pay attention to your toilet, and then your sink and your mirror (in that order). Add some toilet cleaner, and in 15 minutes, you should be able to clean your mirror and sink, and go back to rinsing your toilet.
Don’t forget to provide extra toiletries such as toilet paper, hand soap, and fresh towels.
Bonus Thanksgiving Tips
Thanksgiving is tomorrow and we are all excited for it! And we all know most people have no time to get their homes ready properly. But one day is all it takes to make your home look nice and comfy for your guests and your family.
The Denton Maids team wanted to help people clean their homes by Thanksgiving and we hope our tips are helpful.
Our final pro-tip: set a timer for each task, anything between 15 – 30 minutes is more than enough for most cleaning tasks. The more strict you are with your schedule, the more likely you are to get things done and move on to the next task.
