The week between Christmas and New Year’s Day is an ideal opportunity to tidy up and get organized after the holiday festivities. Take a look at these suggestions to refresh your home and get it ready for the new year!

1. Declutter

During the holiday season, we often gather a lot of items. While giving gifts is wonderful, it can be a bit overwhelming to see your kitchen overflowing with used storage containers, your trash bins filled to the brim, and your storage spaces cluttered with unwanted decorations and miscellaneous items.

It’s a great idea to take a moment to review your home items and see if there’s anything you can donate or toss out. The start of a new year is perfect for decluttering and refreshing your space, so why not seize the chance after the holiday season to tidy up?

2. Disinfect Kitchen Appliances

It’s been a season of celebrations with your parties, delicious meals for guests, and countless baked treats. Now, it’s the perfect moment to take a breather from all the fun and give your kitchen a thorough cleaning.

You can opt for a disinfecting cleaner or create a simple solution using baking soda, vinegar, and water. Additionally, there are many natural cleaning products available that can effectively keep your space clean and fresh. 

You definitely don’t want to discover food stains or, even worse, something unpleasant a month later. Use this chance to refresh your kitchen and make it feel inviting once more.

3. Clean all Upholstery and Furniture 

After a long winter, you and your family have likely spent a lot of time on your furniture. If you hosted any gatherings during the holidays, it’s safe to say that it’s seen more than just your immediate family. And let’s not forget about those pesky pet odors!

It’s a good idea to clean your furniture at least once or twice a year, making the post-holiday season a perfect opportunity. With your windows probably closed against the cold for months and the heater running, along with all the family and guests around, your furniture could definitely use a good cleaning.

Don’t forget to reach out to us, your furniture cleaning expert. We can help eliminate any lingering smells and stains, ensuring your furniture stays fresh and ready for the spring season ahead.

4. Clean Out Any Area Rugs

Area rugs can gather stains, dirt, and unpleasant odors over time. Fortunately, there are some easy steps you can take at home to keep them looking fresh.

One effective method is to take your rugs outside on a warm, dry day. Give them a good shake and hang them up on a balcony. This will help eliminate dust and reduce any lingering smells. If your rug is washable, you can also try cleaning it yourself, but be cautious as improper washing can damage it.

We suggest using a stiff brush to remove hair and dirt from your area rug. After that, it’s a great idea to reach out to us, your professional carpet cleaner who can handle all your rugs at once. This is particularly beneficial for antique or oriental rugs that require extra attention.

5. Deep Clean Your Carpets

It’s time to gather all your furniture and give that carpet a thorough cleaning. After a long winter filled with gatherings, muddy shoes, and playful pets, it’s definitely seen better days. You’ll be surprised at how much a good carpet cleaning can revitalize your home.

If you have a mix of upholstered furniture, area rugs, and carpets that need attention, consider scheduling an appointment with Main Cleaning Solutions, your holiday cleaning service. We can help you tackle all your fabric cleaning needs in one go.

We can’t stress enough how important it is to keep your carpets clean. Ideally, you should have an annual carpet cleaning on your calendar, so why not plan it for the end or start of the year? Avoid kicking off the new year with a dirty rental cleaning machine for your upholstery. Instead, hire our team that can ensure everything is spotless, sanitized, and ready for the year ahead.
