January Cleaning Checklist: Tackle the Mess After the Holidays

The New Year is the perfect time to refresh your home and reset your living space after the holiday chaos. From decorations to lingering messes, a thorough cleaning can help you start January on the right foot. Here’s a practical January cleaning checklist to help tackle the mess and bring order back to your home:

Take down all holiday decorations and organize them in labeled storage bins. This ensures they stay in good condition for next year while freeing up space in your home.

Focus on spaces like the kitchen, living room, and bathrooms. Wipe down countertops, clean appliances, vacuum or mop floors, and sanitize all high-touch surfaces.

Strip the beds and wash all linens. Take this opportunity to rotate mattresses, vacuum underneath the bed, and declutter nightstands for a fresh start.

Sort through the living room and dining areas, removing any leftover holiday clutter. Donate unused items and find proper storage solutions for things you plan to keep.

After the holiday feasts, your refrigerator likely needs attention. Toss out expired food, wipe down shelves, and reorganize for a cleaner, more functional space.

Tackle areas that are often overlooked, such as baseboards, vents, ceiling fans, and light fixtures. A deep clean in these spaces can make a noticeable difference in your home’s overall feel.

Vacuum all carpets and rugs thoroughly. Consider a professional deep clean to remove stains, odors, and dirt that accumulated during the holidays.

Create systems for staying organized throughout the year. Use labeled bins, baskets, or shelving to manage clutter and make cleaning easier moving forward.
