Your 2025 Holiday Cleaning Checklist
The 2025 holiday season is sneaking up fast, Cincinnati! Between school events, family gatherings, and festive traditions, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by everything that needs to get done before guests arrive. To help you enjoy more of the season (and less of the stress), we've put together a simple, practical checklist to get your home feeling warm, welcoming, and ready for holiday celebrations.
1. Out with the old, in with the cozy.
As Cincinnati shifts into its crisp fall weather, now is the perfect time to swap out summer décor for richer, warmer tones. Think deep browns, cozy coppers, and soft reds that reflect the spirit of the season. Decorating early not only sets a festive mood but also saves you from scrambling when the holidays officially hit.
2. Break out the bedding.
Overnight guests are common during the holidays, so get ahead by washing blankets, freshening guest linens, and rotating in your warmer bedding—quilts, duvets, and plush throws double as both décor and comfort. Adding a folded blanket at the end of a bed or draping one on a reading chair brings that inviting, layered fall look.
3. Clean and reverse your ceiling fans.
It's not glamorous, but it's important. Turn off your fans and give the blades a thorough clean. This helps reduce dust that can settle onto floors and furniture, keeping your home fresher for guests.
Once cleaned, flip the switch on the fan so it rotates clockwise. This pulls cool air upward and helps circulate warm air throughout the room—a simple trick that makes Cincinnati winters a little cozier.
4. Refresh your fall wardrobe.
Before the temperature fully drops, pull out your jackets, sweaters, and cold-weather accessories. Check for wear, missing buttons, or anything that needs a wash. We often think about spring closet clean-outs, but fall wardrobes deserve just as much attention, especially when you're reaching for layers daily.
