Holiday Cleaning in Hendersonville, TN

Company’s coming. The house isn’t ready. And you don’t have time to deep clean the kitchen, scrub the guest bathroom, and mop every floor before your family walks through the door.

Holiday cleaning is a one-time service timed around your hosting schedule — before guests arrive, after they leave, or both. It goes deeper than your regular house cleaning because holidays demand more: kitchens worked harder, bathrooms used by more people, and every surface judged by relatives who notice everything.

What's Included

Holiday cleaning covers what your regular clean doesn’t reach — and the areas guests will judge you on:

Kitchen deep clean — Counters, backsplash, sink, stovetop scrubbed. Appliance exteriors detailed. Microwave interior cleaned. Oven interior available as add-on or included in our deep clean package.
Guest bathrooms — Full sanitization: toilet, shower/tub, sink, mirror, floor. Not a surface wipe — a proper scrub.
Floors throughout — Swept, vacuumed, mopped. Under furniture and in corners, not just the middle of the room.
Living and dining areas — Surfaces dusted and wiped, furniture straightened, floors cleaned.
Entryway — First impression zone: floor cleaned, surfaces wiped, coat area tidied.
Baseboards and trim — Wiped down (included in deep clean package, add-on for standard).
Cabinet faces — Kitchen and bathroom cabinet exteriors cleaned of fingerprints and grease.

Available add-ons: Oven interior, refrigerator interior (must be emptied), interior windows, carpet shampooing.

Book Early — Slots Fill Fast

Thanksgiving week, Christmas week, and New Year’s weekend are our busiest periods. Slots fill 1–2 weeks out.

How to plan:

Know when your guests arrive. Book cleaning for the day before or morning of.
If you want post-holiday cleanup too, book both at the same time — before and after slots paired together fill first.
We offer morning and afternoon windows. Crew confirms 24 hours prior.

If you’re hosting multiple events — Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas morning, New Year’s party — you can book a series. Each clean is scoped to what the event requires.

Call 629-265-8189 to lock in your dates. The earlier you book, the more flexibility on timing.

Where We Focus

Not every room needs the same level of attention for holiday hosting. We prioritize based on where your guests will actually spend time:

First priority:

Kitchen — This is where everyone ends up. Counters, sink, stovetop, floors, and appliance exteriors get full attention.
Guest bathrooms — Deep cleaned: toilet, shower, sink, mirror, floor. Fresh and sanitized.

Second priority:

Living and dining areas — Surfaces dusted, floors cleaned, furniture straightened. These are your hosting spaces.
Entryway and hallways — First and last impression. Clean floors, wiped surfaces.

Standard attention:

Bedrooms — Surface clean unless guests are sleeping over. If you have overnight guests, let us know and we’ll detail the guest room.

You tell us what matters most. We’ll allocate time where it has the most impact for your specific event.

Pre-Holiday vs. Post-Holiday

Two different jobs. You might need one or both.

Pre-holiday cleaning gets the house guest-ready before anyone arrives:

Kitchen prepped for heavy cooking
Guest bathrooms detailed
Floors, surfaces, and entryway cleaned
Baseboards and corners addressed
The house looks and smells clean when the doorbell rings

Post-holiday cleaning resets your home after the event:

Kitchen cleaned after cooking — stovetop, counters, sink, floors
Bathrooms sanitized after heavy use
Trash and recycling taken out
High-touch surfaces wiped down
Floors cleaned of tracked-in dirt and spills

Booking both as a pair is the most common approach for families hosting Thanksgiving or Christmas. Pre-clean before guests arrive, post-clean after they leave.

Decorations, Trees, and Fragile Items

Your decorations stay where you put them. We clean around them.

Floors are vacuumed and mopped up to tree skirts and display bases. Surfaces are wiped around mantlepiece arrangements, centerpieces, and shelf displays. We don’t move, rearrange, or touch fragile items — ornaments, ceramic village pieces, heirloom decorations.

What we don’t do: Clean the decorations themselves. Ornament dusting, tree fluffing, and decoration wiping aren’t included due to fragility and liability. We clean your home around your holiday setup.

If you have areas that are completely off-limits (a mantle arrangement, a dining table centerpiece), let us know at booking and we’ll mark them in the scope.

Last-Minute Bookings

Plans changed. Family’s coming tomorrow. You need the house cleaned today.

We take same-day and next-day bookings when slots are available. Contact us by mid-morning for the best chance at same-day service. During peak holiday weeks, last-minute availability is limited — but it’s worth calling.

What we can accomplish in a short-notice clean:

Kitchen: counters, stovetop, sink, floors, microwave interior
Guest bathroom: full sanitization
Living and dining areas: surface wipe, vacuum, mop
Entryway: quick clean
Trash emptied throughout

It’s not a full deep clean, but it gets the critical zones guest-ready in 2–3 hours. That’s the difference between panic and being ready when the doorbell rings.

Call 629-265-8189 — we’ll tell you what we can do on your timeline.
