Christmas Clean Up
Before we relax into the holiday season, let's make sure everything is fresh, tidy, and ready for the new year. We've put together a quick-clean checklist with estimated times for each space, plus a festive 'Santa's Check It Twice' list for those last minute essentials.
And because cleaning is always better with music, each area has a playlist to act as your timer and to keep the mood merry while you work!
Kitchen and Social Spaces
Let's go! Here's the Kitchen Clean Up playlist - approximately 20 minutes
- Clean and/or put away any dishes and cutlery (5 minutes)
- Wipe down all surfaces and tables (5 minutes)
- Check fridge for leftovers or perishables and dispose (2 minutes)
- Clean sink and taps (3 minutes)
- Quick sweep or vacuum floors (5 minutes)
- Take the bins into the hallway

Finally, Santa's 'Check it Twice' Before You Leave List
He's making a list, he's checking it twice! If you're going home for Christmas make sure you do these quick double checks on your way out:
- Close and lock all windows and doors
- Turn off non-essential plugs and switches in your room (in particular fairy lights!) and in the kitchen (e.g. air fryers or microwaves)
- One last check in the fridge for food that could go off
- Leave space tidy for a fresh start in January
