The holiday season is full of joy, gatherings, and special memories, but it can also feel like a whirlwind of activity. Between hosting, shopping, and celebrating, it’s easy for household chores to pile up. To help you keep your home looking its best, we’ve compiled some time-saving tips to maintain a clean home during the holidays without overwhelming your schedule.
1. TACKLE CLUTTER DAILY
Clutter can quickly take over during the holidays, with gifts, decorations, and extra kitchen supplies adding to the chaos. Spend just 10 - 15 minutes a day addressing clutter:
Assign a basket for each family member to collect their items.
Create a dedicated space for holiday-related items, like wrapping paper and decorations.
Regularly donate unused or unwanted items to free up space.
Use a “one-touch rule” to immediately put things in their proper place rather than setting them down temporarily.
Keeping clutter in check will make your home feel instantly cleaner.
2. QUICK DAILY CLEANUPS
A little effort each day can prevent the need for massive cleaning sessions later:
Wipe down counters and high-touch areas like door handles and light switches daily.
Vacuum or sweep high-traffic areas every couple of days to keep floors looking fresh.
Set a timer for 20 minutes each evening to tidy up. You’ll be amazed at how much you can accomplish in a short time!
For a boost in efficiency, consider using eco-friendly cleaning products that are safe for your family and the environment.
3. DELEGATE TASKS
The holidays are a family affair, so cleaning should be, too!
Assign age-appropriate tasks to each family member. Kids can pick up toys, while older children can help with vacuuming or wiping surfaces.
Rotate responsibilities to keep things fair and maintain motivation.
Make a list of must-clean areas before hosting guests.
Making cleaning a team effort saves time and teaches valuable skills.

5. Keep Bathrooms and Kitchens Guest-Ready
These are the areas your guests will notice most.
Keep a stash of disinfecting wipes in the bathroom for quick touch-ups.
Ensure the kitchen sink is free of dishes by running the dishwasher overnight.
Adopt a ‘clean-as-you-go’ habit. After brushing your teeth or using the sink, quickly rinse and wipe down surfaces to prevent grime from building up and save you time later.
Focusing on small, manageable tasks in these high-traffic areas can make a big difference in keeping your home looking fresh and inviting during the holidays.
