TidyMamas Β· November 1, 2026

As the holiday season approaches, you're likely to have a house full of guests. With two weeks to go, it's time to start preparing your Parma home for the influx of family and friends. You want to make a great impression, but you also don't want to spend the entire holiday season cleaning. Here's a countdown to help you get your house ready for the holidays.
Two Weeks Out: Deep Cleaning and Organization Start by tackling the areas of your home that need the most attention. **Focus on high-traffic areas** like the entryway, kitchen, and guest bathroom. Spend about minutes to an hour on each room, **dusting, vacuuming, and wiping down surfaces**. Don't forget to **clean out your fridge and oven**, as these will be essential for holiday cooking. A full oven clean can take 30-45 minutes, so budget your time accordingly. If you're feeling overwhelmed, consider hiring a professional cleaning service like TidyMamas to help with the deep cleaning. Our [Deep Clean](/services/deep-clean) service starts at $185 and covers every room in your home.
One Week Out: Pay Attention to Details With one week to go, it's time to pay attention to the details that will make your home shine. **Spend about 30 minutes in each room**, **fluffing pillows, dusting knick-knacks, and wiping down surfaces**. Don't forget to **clean your windows**, as this will help let in natural light and make your home feel more welcoming. If you have **hardwood floors**, spend some time **sweeping and mopping** to get them looking their best.

Don't forget to **set the table, put out fresh towels, and make sure the guest room is ready**. Take a few minutes to **check the thermostat, make sure the furnace is working properly**, and **prep your home for the cold weather**.

Paying Attention to High-Touch Areas High-touch areas like **doorknobs, light switches, and remotes** can harbor germs. Spend about 10 minutes **disinfecting these areas**. Use a **gentle disinfectant** to avoid damaging surfaces.
