Thanksgiving is right around the corner — the time for family, laughter, and of course, the feast! But before the turkey goes in the oven and the guests walk through the door, your home deserves a little TLC. Getting everything ready can feel overwhelming, but with a solid plan (and the right cleaning team), you can enjoy a stress-free, sparkling holiday.
Here’s your step-by-step guide to preparing your home for Thanksgiving — with a little help from J.O.Y Cleaning!
⸻
1. Declutter Before You Decorate
Before you bring out those gorgeous fall centerpieces and Thanksgiving table runners, take a few minutes to declutter. Clear off countertops, put away non-seasonal décor, and tidy up common spaces where guests will gather. Less clutter instantly makes your home feel more open and inviting — and it makes cleaning faster too!
⸻
2. Deep Clean the High-Traffic Areas
Focus your cleaning energy where it counts:
• Kitchen: Wipe down appliances, clean inside the microwave, and make room in the fridge for all those leftovers.
• Bathrooms: Stock extra hand towels and soap, and give surfaces a good disinfecting.
• Living Room: Dust, vacuum, and fluff the pillows — this is where everyone will relax after dinner.
Or better yet — let J.O.Y Cleaning handle it for you!
Our professional cleaners specialize in deep cleaning homes in Acworth, Cartersville, Dallas, Kennesaw, Marietta, and Powder Springs, so you can focus on cooking and entertaining instead of scrubbing.

4. Prep Guest Rooms and Bathrooms
Expecting overnight guests? Wash the linens, dust the nightstands, and add thoughtful touches like a candle or extra blanket. In bathrooms, make sure toilet paper and clean towels are fully stocked. Small details make a big difference!

5. Add a Little Seasonal Sparkle
Once your home is clean, it’s time to decorate! A few simple touches can make your home feel warm and festive:
• A neutral or modern farmhouse centerpiece with pumpkins or eucalyptus
• Fall-scented candles (think cinnamon, apple, or vanilla)
• A cozy throw on the couch for those post-dinner naps
And when Thanksgiving’s over, J.O.Y Cleaning can return for your post-holiday refresh, so you can head into December with a clean slate.

6. Relax — You’ve Earned It!
You did it! You’ve decluttered, prepped, planned, and (most importantly) outsourced the cleaning to the pros. Now you can focus on what really matters — family, gratitude, and maybe that second slice of pie.
