When winter arrives, our homes become the heart of our daily lives—warm, cozy spaces where we cook, relax, and spend more time indoors. But with closed windows, holiday gatherings, and muddy boots, it’s easy for dust, dirt, and clutter to build up fast.
At Best Day Housecleaning, we believe winter cleaning should make your home feel both fresh and snug, so you can enjoy the season without the mess. Here’s your ultimate winter cleaning checklist.
Deep Clean Floors & Entryways
Winter weather can track in snow, mud, and salt.
- Vacuum and mop floors frequently.
- Add or replace heavy-duty doormats.
- Keep a boot tray by the door to contain mess.
- Wipe down door handles and light switches.
Refresh Living Areas
These spaces get extra use during the colder months.
- Dust baseboards, shelves, and furniture.
- Vacuum upholstery and throw pillows.
- Launder blankets and couch covers.
- Clean light fixtures for brighter winter lighting.
Make Bedrooms Warm & Comfortable
Create a cozy retreat from chilly nights.
- Wash and rotate bedding.
- Vacuum under the bed.
- Flip or rotate mattresses.
- Dust ceiling fans (yes, you still use them on reverse to circulate warm air!).
Deep Clean the Kitchen
Winter means hearty meals and holiday baking—so a clean kitchen is a must.
- Clean the oven and stovetop.
- Wipe down cabinets and appliances.
- Organize pantry and toss expired food.
- Empty crumbs from the toaster and clean the microwave.
Give Bathrooms a Winter Shine
Guests, dry air, and more showers all take their toll.

With windows shut tight, air freshness matters more than ever.

- Add a humidifier to combat dry air.
Tackle the Little Details
Small touches make your home feel welcoming all winter long.
