![Home ready for Christmas](https://blog.lavor.com/hubfs/copertina%20natale.jpg)

The smell of **cinnamon**, colorful **lights**, **presents** to unwrap: **there it is, the magic of Christmas**! During the Christmas festivities, the streets glow with a **warm enveloping light** amid the **laughter** of children and the

**hugs** of adults.

For those, however, who have decided to **make their homes the place for this magical Christmas**, **festive cleaning** can make everything more flat and boring, ruining the pre-Christmas atmosphere and **turning joy into anxiety and stress.**

If you’ve grown tired of turning into the Grinch and want to **speed up the tidying up of your home before Christmas**, the secret is to rely on [**simple, user-friendly cleaning products**](https://lavor.com/en/homeoutdoor/)**...** and apply a few tricks.

## The Lavor Method: four steps to a festive holiday-ready home

**Cleaning is not just a matter of effort**. To make cleaning your home easier, faster and more fun, the **key** is to combine **good time and space management with the use of effective, high-performance, and user-friendly products**.

Here’s **how to clean your house quickly before Christmas holidays**:

1. **Remove**. Clear away the dust as well as everything superfluous: make room for the magic of Christmas!
2. **Go deep**. It’s also time to devote yourself to those areas of your house you’ve been neglecting for some time, such as the oven, stove and fireplace;
3. **Wash** floors, patios, driveways and windows;
4. **Clean carefully**, using the right accessories to reach even the most hidden corners.

In this way, you can clean quickly and thoroughly, without fear of missing anything. Now what? Where to start?

![christmas cleaning](https://blog.lavor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AdobeStock_1806637563.jpeg?width=800&height=436&name=AdobeStock_1806637563.jpeg)

## Plan cleaning before the festivities

Having defined the method, it is time to **organize the various steps** for cleaning the house before the holidays:

1. **Clear and organize**. First, reduce the items in sight and leave only what you really need, such as a few decorations, lights or candles, some mistletoe and the ever-present tree;
2. **Start from the top down**. Dust chandeliers, curtains, sideboards and cabinets, then move on to tables, chairs and sofas. Cleaning the floors is only the last step;
3. **Clean by areas**. First the kitchen, then the outdoor space, the bathroom and finally the living room. This way you will avoid moving dirt and dust between different rooms in the house.

## Cleaning the kitchen before Christmas

Under the Christmas holidays, the **kitchen** turns into a **creative workshop**. Between sweet and savory, each day is the **perfect opportunity for** fans **to bake gingerbread cookies**, typical cakes, canapés, and to test the various dishes that will be served during the Christmas lunch.

**Keeping the kitchen clean under the holidays seems impossible, but it really isn’t**: the important thing is to **avoid accumulating dirt**, such as limescale, grease, crumbs and sticky spots, and doing so can be easier than you imagine.

Here’s how to **best clean your kitchen** before the big **Christmas lunch:**

1. **wash the oven thoroughly**. Dirt and scale are always lurking and putting off cleaning the oven causes stains to become even tougher and charred. In this case, the **ideal tool** for making the oven shiny is to use **steam**, a **green** and powerful solution that melts, sanitizes and removes all odors. Using the [**steam generator**](https://lavor.com/en/search/steam-cleaners/), you can apply the **most suitable accessory to your oven**, reaching every nook and cranny and acting deeply on that fouling that would otherwise require massive amounts of detergent. You can **also use steam to clean your refrigerator, microwave, stove and countertops**, avoiding contamination between food and the use of chemicals;
2. use a [**multifunctional vac** **or dust vacuum cleaner**](https://lavor.com/en/search/wet-dry-vacuum/) to remove crumbs and coarse debris.
3. equip yourself with a [**floor scrubber dryer**](https://lavor.com/en/search/floor-scrubber-dryers/). In the kitchen**, hygiene and safety go hand** in **hand**. It can often happen that doughs, creams or food fall on the floor, making it dirty, sticky and slippery. Having a floor scrubber dryer within reach makes it possible to **remove every stain in just one go**, keeping surfaces clean and safe at all times.

## Perfect gardens, terraces and yards even in winter with a high pressure cleaner

The **outdoor area** is your home’s calling card, and even at Christmas it is important to **keep it clean and**, most importantly, [**safe.**](https://blog.lavor.com/en/autumn-garden-cleaning-and-maintenance-rely-on-a-high-pressure-cleaner?hsLang=en) For **finishing courtyards, terraces, patios, gardens and driveways**:

- **remove foliage** that **has accumulated** and is making the floor slippery;
- **eliminate slush, crushed stone and topsoil**, giving your outdoor space a tidy look;
- **maintain gutter and downspout** to prevent nasty surprises and major damage to your home;
- **remove moss and mold from stone surfaces and walls**, thus reducing external moisture and preventing wear and tear.

If devoting yourself to **outdoor care seems like a time-consuming challenge** that you cannot afford, again **the right outdoor cleaning tools can make all the difference**. The ally you need to make your garden perfect even in winter is the [**high pressure cleaner**](https://lavor.com/en/search/high-pressure-cleaners/), an **environmentally friendly and multifunctional** tool that, using the power of the jet, **removes tough dirt in a few moments.**

Just as the [**steam generator**](https://blog.lavor.com/en/household-steam-cleaners-how-they-work-which-ones-to-choose-and-how-best-to-use-them?hsLang=en) is for indoors, the high pressure cleaner is a green and ideal solution for [**cleaning your garden**](https://blog.lavor.com/en/clean-your-garden-with-a-high-pressure-cleaner?hsLang=en): the pressurized water will work thoroughly without damaging surfaces, and with the **use of specific maintenance accessories** such as the pipe cleaning hose, you can also devote yourself to the[**maintenance of manholes, downspout and gutters**](https://blog.lavor.com/en/clean-roofs-and-downpipes-with-a-high-pressure-cleaner?hsLang=en).

Finally, decorate the outdoor area with some Christmas statues, references to Santa Claus and his sleigh, and with bright lights to bring your **enchanted garden to** life **and make your Christmas even more magical.**

## Bathroom and guest area: sanitization and hygiene

**During Christmas holidays, even the bathroom wants its share**. Surprise your guests with themed decorations in the restroom as well: opt for **Christmas courtesy towels**, and some nice and elegant knick-knacks to keep the magic of Christmas going even in the most unexpected places.

In addition to the aesthetics, however, don’t forget to **sanitize and deep clean your floors**, **windows and bathroom fixtures** - it’s the perfect opportunity to do a deep cleaning and devote yourself to maintaining those sometimes neglected areas such as the floor or shower joints.

If you are accustomed to using countless bathroom cleaning products and would like to opt for an **eco-friendly, effective and fast solution**, even for cleaning bathroom fixtures, once again you can rely on the **steam generator**.

Reaching 180°, the steam deeply cleans and sanitizes even bathroom fixtures and, if equipped with the right accessories, it offers several functions:

- **deep toilet cleaning**, thanks to the **angled spraying gun**, which allows reaching even the most concealed parts;
- **cleaning of joints**, with the small brush concentrating the steam jet in one spot;
- washing **shower glass, mirrors and windows**, thanks to the window washing brush;
- **sanitizing floors**, using the rectangular brush with its special cloth, which enables timely and effective cleaning.

This way, with one product you can clean and sanitize the whole bathroom, saving time and protecting the environment.

## How to clean the living room and make it unique for Christmas

With the whole house cleaned, it’s time to devote yourself to the beating heart of all the festivities: **the living and dining room.** To make this room unique, in addition to the ever-present tree, use small lights, candles and ornaments, opting for a more understated or more traditional style, depending on your taste.

Following the **steps of the Lavor Method**, perform deep cleaning in this environment too, without neglecting any corner.

![christmas cleaning](https://blog.lavor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AdobeStock_1745748129.jpeg?width=7280&height=4080&name=AdobeStock_1745748129.jpeg)

Here are **some tips for effective and quick living room cleaning before the holidays**:

- with a **vacuum cleaner** remove excess dust from curtains, radiators, curtain rods and on top of cabinets and bookcases. Then use the crevice nozzle to work in even the smallest spaces;
- use a **carpet** **cleaner** in case of carpets or rugs, making them as clean as when purchased;
- in case of **fireplaces or pellet stoves**, remove all excess ash with an [**ash extractor**](https://blog.lavor.com/en/ash-extractors-for-fireplaces-stoves-and-barbecues-a-guide-for-your-purchases?hsLang=en) before use;
- with the [**steam cleaner**](https://blog.lavor.com/en/cleaning-your-house-with-steam-all-the-pluses?hsLang=en) sanitize curtains, armchairs and sofas, and thoroughly wash glass and mirrors;
- with the [**floor scrubber dryer**](https://lavor.com/en/search/floor-scrubber-dryers/) make all floors clean, sanitized and dry even minutes before guests arrive for a flawless home.

This way you can **make every corner of your rooms magical**, making Christmas and your home the real stars of this holiday season. Add some light touches, wrap gifts, bake some cinnamon treats and get ready to welcome your guests.

**...and Merry Christmas from Lavor!**
