Post-Holiday Deep Clean: Why January is Your Home's Fresh Start Month
The holidays are over. The guests have left. And your home? It's seen better days. Here's why January is the smartest time to book a professional deep clean - and what you're actually paying for.

Only 12 slots left this month for our comprehensive post-holiday deep clean in Newmarket & York Region. Book now before they're gone.
The Reality Check: What the Holidays Left Behind
Let's be honest. You survived the holidays. Your home? Not so much.
Right now, there's probably:
- Mystery stains on your carpet from Uncle Dave's wine incident (we don't talk about it)
- Kitchen grease everywhere because you cooked more in two weeks than the entire year
- Bathrooms that need hazmat suits after hosting overnight guests
- Dust bunnies the size of actual bunnies behind furniture you moved for extra seating
- That smell you can't quite identify but know it's not good
If you're reading this nodding your head, you're not alone. 92% of Ontario homeowners say their home needs serious attention after holiday hosting. The difference? Smart homeowners book professional help instead of spending their January weekends scrubbing.
Why Waiting Makes It Worse (And More Expensive)
Here's what happens when you tell yourself "I'll deal with it later":
The "Later" Problem
- Week 1: Stains set into carpets and upholstery (now permanent)
- Week 2: Kitchen grease hardens on surfaces (requires special chemicals)
- Week 3: Bathroom mold starts growing in neglected corners (health hazard)
- Week 4: Your "quick cleanup" is now a full restoration project
Translation: That $180 deep clean in January becomes a $400+ restoration in February. Plus you've lived in a gross house for a month.

What Newmarket & Aurora Families Are Saying
"We hosted 15 people for New Year's Eve. I thought our house was ruined. TidyupCo came in and it looks better than before the holidays. They got red wine out of our white carpet - I still don't know how."
- Sarah M., Aurora
Booked: January 3, 2025
"Best $250 I ever spent. My wife was ready to spend our entire weekend cleaning. I booked TidyupCo instead. We went skiing. House was spotless when we got back. I'm a hero now."
- Michael T., Newmarket
Booked: January 5, 2025
"The kitchen was a disaster zone. Every surface was sticky. They cleaned places I didn't even know existed. And the bathroom... let's just say it needed professional attention after hosting 8 overnight guests."
- Jennifer L., Bradford
Booked: January 8, 2025
