It's December 23rd. Your Family Arrives Tomorrow. We Can Help.

Why People Call Us on December 23rd

Every December, our phones start ringing earlier each morning. It's always the same story: someone meant to clean three weeks ago, then two weeks ago, then last week. Now it's crunch time and the house is a mess.

We've heard it all. The in-laws are arriving tomorrow morning and you just noticed the bathroom grout. Your kids left toys everywhere and you're hosting Christmas dinner for 15 people. The kitchen from last night's cookie baking looks like a disaster zone.

You're not alone. This happens to half our December clients.

What We Can Actually Clean in One Day

When someone calls us for emergency Christmas cleaning, they usually ask: "Can you really make a difference in just a few hours?" Yes. Here's what a focused cleaning team can accomplish in 3-4 hours:

We focus on the spaces that matter most: where your guests will spend time and the areas that make the biggest visual impact. Your home won't be Pinterest-perfect, but it will be genuinely clean and welcoming.

What to Do Before We Arrive

When you're booking a same-day clean, you don't have much prep time. That's fine. Just do these three things:

• 1.Clear surfaces: Move dishes off counters, pick up toys, gather laundry. We can't clean under clutter.
• 2.Put away valuables: Jewelry, cash, anything fragile or important. Just for your peace of mind.
• 3.Secure pets: If you have dogs or cats, keep them in a separate room while we work.

That's it. We'll handle everything else.

Serving All of York Region

We have cleaning teams covering Newmarket, Aurora, Bradford, Richmond Hill, Markham, East Gwillimbury, King City, and throughout York Region. If you're within our service area, we can usually schedule same-day or next-day service even during the Christmas rush.

Most emergency bookings we handle are in Newmarket and Aurora simply because that's where we're based. But we've done plenty of last-minute cleans in Bradford, Georgina, and all over the region.

Honest Talk About Last-Minute Pricing

Yes, emergency cleaning costs more than booking two weeks in advance. That's just reality. We're moving schedules around, sometimes bringing in extra staff, and working faster to accommodate your timeline.

For same-day service on December 23rd or 24th, expect to pay roughly 30-40% more than our regular rates. A typical 3-bedroom home deep clean that normally runs $250-300 will be around $350-400 for emergency service.

Is it worth it? That depends on how badly you need your home clean and how much stress you're under. For most people calling us two days before Christmas, the answer is yes.

What We Can't Do on Short Notice

Let's be realistic about time constraints. In a same-day emergency clean, we can't:

• •Deep clean carpets (that requires specialized equipment and drying time)
• •Clean inside every cabinet and closet (we focus on visible, high-traffic areas)
• •Handle major organizing projects (decluttering is your responsibility)
• •Clean windows and exterior doors if it's below freezing (cleaning solution freezes)

Emergency cleaning is about making the biggest impact in the shortest time. We prioritize what guests will see and use.

Real Talk: Is It Really That Bad?

Look, your family loves you. They're not coming to inspect your baseboards. But there's a difference between "lived-in" and "actually dirty." If you're worried about it, trust that instinct.

A clean home makes hosting easier. You'll feel more relaxed, guests will be more comfortable, and you won't spend Christmas morning scrubbing the bathroom while everyone else drinks coffee.

We've cleaned hundreds of homes right before the holidays. Every single client has told us afterward it was worth it. The relief on their face when we finish is why we keep slots open on December 23rd and 24th every year.

After the Holidays

Once you survive Christmas, remember this feeling. Next year, book your pre-holiday clean in early December. Give yourself three weeks of breathing room instead of three hours.

And when the holidays are over and your house is trashed again from all the cooking and guests and kids' new toys everywhere, give us a call. We do post-holiday cleanups too. Fresh start for the new year.

Your guests arrive soon. Let us handle the cleaning so you can handle everything else.
