December Deep Clean Checklist for Warwickshire Homes: Get Your Home Guest-Ready Before Christmas

Perfect for homeowners in Warwick, Leamington Spa, Stratford-upon-Avon, Kenilworth, Banbury, and surrounding areas preparing for a Christmas-ready home.

December arrives with visitors, family gatherings, and last-minute plans — and suddenly the house needs to look its best. Dust shows in the winter light, clutter builds up, and high-use rooms start to feel a little tired. A deep clean in December makes your home feel fresher, calmer, and ready for guests.

Here’s your complete December Deep Clean Checklist to help reset your home before Christmas.

1. Entrance, Hall & Stairs

These are the first areas guests see and the ones you walk through the most. Freshening them up transforms the whole home.

Focus on:

  • Skirting boards and door frames

  • Bannisters and handrails

  • High corners and cobwebs

  • Marks on walls where possible

  • Floors or carpets in high-traffic areas

2. Living Room Reset

Your living room becomes the heart of Christmas — films, family time, visitors, gift opening.

Focus on:

  • Dusting shelving, TV units, consoles, and surfaces

  • Polishing mirrors and reachable glass

  • Cleaning skirting boards and switches

  • Lifting hidden dust from corners

  • Vacuuming and mopping for a crisp finish

3. Kitchen Deep Clean

December’s busiest room needs extra care — cooking, baking, and hosting all happen here.

Focus on:

  • Cupboard doors, splashbacks and tiles

  • Sinks, taps and draining boards

  • Stainless steel and appliance exteriors

  • Handles, switches, and touch-points

  • Floors cleaned thoroughly to refresh the whole room

Note: Add white goods cleaning separately if needed before Christmas cooking.

4. Bathroom & Guest Toilets

A fresh bathroom boosts confidence when people visit.

Focus on:

  • Limescale on taps, shower fittings and screens

  • Tiles, grout and splashbacks

  • Mirrors and glass

  • Behind toilets and awkward corners

  • Floors and ventilation areas

5. Bedrooms (Especially the Spare Room)

If guests are staying overnight, this room deserves attention.

Focus on:

  • Dusting furniture and bedside units

  • Polishing mirrors and reflective surfaces

  • Cleaning skirting boards and corners

  • Refreshing window frames and sills

  • Vacuuming and resetting the room for comfort

6. Quick Wins That Make a Big Difference

Small touches transform the way your home feels.

  • Clean internal doors and handles

  • Wipe light switches

  • Declutter surfaces

  • Freshen high-touch areas

  • Use eco-friendly room sprays or diffusers

Why a December Deep Clean Matters
