As 2024 wraps up, we at Emily’s Maids see the holiday season as the perfect time to reflect, celebrate, and make special memories with loved ones.
Between hosting for loved ones and shopping for gifts, we know keeping your home clean and welcoming is a challenge.
That’s why we’re here! We want to end the year on a high note, and do what we love the most: sharing our cleaning tips and tricks!
At Emily’s Maids, we want to extend a heartfelt message to everyone who made this year so memorable: our clients, our team, and the communities we serve.
Here are some of our thoughts and tips to help you celebrate this season with less stress and more joy, especially as we’re getting ready to celebrate New Year’s Eve!
Reflecting on a Year of Gratitude
Looking back on 2024, all we can think about is gratitude. To our loyal clients: thank you for trusting us to care for your homes. Your incredible support helps us do what we love: helping you create warm, inviting spaces for your loved ones.
To our hardworking team: thank you so much for all the work you do. Your commitment and attention to detail are the heartbeat of Emily’s Maids. A company does not thrive for (almost!) 15 years without hardworking, talented people behind it.
This season, we invite our readers to appreciate the moments that made 2024 special for Emily’s Maids. Whether it’s your quality time spent with your family; or any milestones that you’ve reached, like traveling, running a marathon or getting a promotion.
Even having a peaceful, clean home to unwind in is a moment that is worth celebrating.
How to Deal with a Messy Home for Festivities
The holidays often mean hosting friends and family, but preparation doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Follow these simple tips to create a welcoming space:
Clean With Gratitude
As you tidy up your home, reflect on the memories tied to these areas and items.
Your dining table is a piece of furniture where you have shared quality time with your family, so use this opportunity to appreciate those memories as you clean and sanitize your dining area.
Or, you can also vacuum and tidy up your entryway, and think about the guests that you had at home this year and the ones you’ll have in 2025!
Seasonal Swap
Pack away holiday decorations and deep clean your storage areas, especially your closets. This depends on where you live, of course.
If you live in areas like Dallas, January and February are the coldest months, so this is the perfect time to swap some of the lighter winter items, for heavier blankets and coats.
Tidy Up your Digital Space
The digital space is often cluttered and unorganized, but sometimes we don’t think about it because we don’t see it.
Clean your devices, organize your files and remove duplicated screenshots or expired receipts, or old emails that are just not important anymore or nothing that brings any joy or has sentimental value.
Declutter With Purpose
Decluttering regularly helps you keep your home clean and tidy. It’s quite popular to declutter the last weeks of December or even in January. If you feel like it, this is the perfect time for decluttering!
Our suggestion: start with your clothing, move to miscellaneous items, and leave sentimental items for last.
Decluttering opens up your space, gives you the chance to donate and help those in need, and helps you preserve only the items that you love and need in your home.
Deep Cleaning Your Home
Kick off this season with a thorough cleaning. Here’s a pro tip from Emily’s Maids: pay special attention to your floors, especially carpet floors and rugs.
If you don’t have a professional-grade carpet cleaner or upholstery cleaner, you can contact a house cleaning service to do it for you. By deep cleaning your floors, you are also removing all the sweat, odor and bacteria from them.
Pay attention to the areas that you have not cleaned in your home in the last quarter. The most commonly overlooked items and areas are baseboards, light fixtures, and your windows.
These steps ensure your home is holiday-ready, leaving you with more time to enjoy the season with your loved ones.
