How Do You Plan Your House Cleaning While On Holiday?

Going on holiday is the perfect chance to reset, both for yourself and your home. Imagine returning to a pristine space where everything from the skirting boards to the pantry has been meticulously cleaned and organised. By keeping your cleaning service while on holiday you can relax, knowing our trusted team will take care of every nook and cranny while you’re away. Here’s a room-by-room guide to setting up a comprehensive clean and ensuring all logistics are in place. 

Talk with Your Cleaner  

Let your cleaner know you’re going to be away for a holiday. Give them the dates and ask if they are happy to continue with the regular service while you’re away. If they have any holidays planned or they were planning to take a break we have plenty of other cleaners available to do a fill-in clean for you while they are on break, just get in touch with your area manager. Let your cleaner know you’d like them to tackle some of the bigger tasks while you’re away and you’ll get them a list.  

Living Room and Common Areas 

Start by focusing on common spaces, as these are often the most heavily used. While on holiday, you can schedule those bigger, less frequent tasks to get a fresh start. 

1. Skirting Boards and Walls: Regular dusting may miss hidden areas on walls and skirting boards. Request a deep dusting and wipe-down for these areas.
2. Couches: Ask your cleaner to vacuum the couch and rugs, this extra task can often be overlooked in your regular cleaning. 
3.  Light Fixtures and Ceiling Fans: Cleaning high-up areas like ceiling fans and light fixtures can be time-consuming. Our cleaners can tackle these spots, making your home feel brighter and fresher.

Kitchen 

The kitchen sees a lot of daily use, and a holiday is an ideal time to give it a deep clean. Here are some key areas to focus on: 

1. Oven Cleaning: This is one of the toughest household tasks, often left undone. With a professional cleaner, you can return to an oven that looks brand new, free from grease and grime.
2. Fridge and Freezer: A clean fridge makes organising groceries much easier. Ask your cleaner to empty and clean shelves and drawers, removing any lingering odours.
3. Pantry Organisation: Pantries can become chaotic quickly. With a structured clean-up, expired items can be put to the side for you to review when you return, and everything will be organised when you return.

Bathroom 

Bathrooms require a detailed clean, especially with time-consuming jobs like scrubbing tile grout and descaling. 

1. Tile and Grout: Tile grout can accumulate soap scum and dirt, making it look aged. A professional clean will refresh your tiles and ensure they look like new.
2. Shower and Bath: Removing stubborn water stains and buildup in these areas can take time. By scheduling a holiday clean, you can enjoy a spotless bathroom without lifting a finger.
3. Mirrors and Glass Doors: For streak-free results, trust the experts. With Absolute Domestics, your mirrors and glass surfaces will shine.

Bedroom 

Bedrooms are your sanctuary, and coming back to a refreshed space can help extend your post-holiday relaxation. 

1. Linen Cupboard Sorting: A well-organised linen cupboard makes finding what you need a breeze. Our team can fold and categorise everything neatly.
2. Under-the-Bed Cleaning: Dust and allergens often hide under the bed. Ensure your cleaner vacuums and dusts these spaces for a fresh start.

Home Office 

If you work from home, the holiday break is an excellent time to reset your workspace. 

1. Desk and Drawers: Returning to a well-organised desk can make a huge difference in your productivity. Let our cleaners tidy up your workspace, ensuring everything is in order.
2. Digital Cleaning: Although it’s not part of a physical clean, why not take a moment before your holiday to back up and organise digital files? This pairs perfectly with a clutter-free home office.
3. Floor and Window Cleaning: Dust builds up quickly in work areas, especially around electronics. Ask for a deep dusting of these spots to improve air quality and create a healthy work environment.
