Thanksgiving Prep Guide: Cleaning Before Hosting Central Florida

Thanksgiving with Koller team is more organized

Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, laughter, and delicious meals — not for stress and last-minute scrubbing. A clean, organized home sets the stage for an unforgettable celebration.

At Koller Cleaning Services, we know that preparation is everything. That’s why we created this Thanksgiving Prep Cleaning Guide for hosts who want to welcome guests into a spotless, cozy space without losing their sanity in the process.

Start Early: Focus on the Essentials First

A week before Thanksgiving, tackle the big tasks:

• Declutter living and dining areas.

• Deep clean your kitchen (especially oven, fridge, and countertops).

• Dust light fixtures, fans, and shelves.

Need help with this step? Our Deep Cleaning service takes care of every detail, so you can focus on planning the perfect menu.

Kitchen Spotlight: The Heart of the Celebration

The kitchen will be the busiest room on Thanksgiving Day. Make it shine!

• Empty and clean the fridge to make room for ingredients and leftovers.

• Sanitize countertops and sinks.

• Mop floors and wipe down cabinet doors.

A Recurring Cleaning plan before the holidays helps maintain your kitchen in top shape, ensuring it’s guest-ready and stress-free.

Create Guest-Ready Spaces

Whether it’s the living room, guest bedroom, or bathroom, every space should feel welcoming.

• Vacuum carpets and rugs.

• Wash bed linens and towels.

• Add subtle scents like vanilla or cinnamon for a cozy touch.

If you’re short on time, schedule a One-Time Cleaning to handle everything before guests arrive.

The Final Touches (Day Before Hosting)

• Set the table and decorate early.

• Do a quick sweep of entryways and mirrors.

• Empty trash bins and make sure your home smells fresh.

Remember: Thanksgiving is about connection, not perfection. When your home feels clean and calm, you’ll enjoy the day so much more.

Hosting Thanksgiving should be joyful, not stressful. With the right preparation — and maybe a little help from Koller Cleaning Services, your celebration will be as beautiful as the memories you create.
