🎄 Christmas, Chaos & Calm: Your Jetlag Remedy Guide to a Sparkling Home This Festive Season
The festive season is officially here - beaches are busy, inboxes are full, the kids are wired, and suddenly the house becomes an airport terminal of guests, gift bags, crumbs, wrapping paper and Christmas cheer.
At Jetlag Remedy, we know this time of year brings huge joy… and huge mess. Between Christmas shopping, school holidays, cooking, entertaining and end-of-year burnout, keeping your home clean can feel like a full-time job.
The good news? It doesn’t have to be.
Not when you have Sydney’s best cleaning service and Perth’s most trusted housekeeping team in your corner.
Here’s your Christmas survival guide - created by the team who specialise in giving busy families mental freedom when it matters most.
✨ 1. Start With a Sparkling Base: The Pre-Christmas Deep Clean
Before the first guest steps through the door, a proper deep clean makes all the difference.
This means:
Detailed bathroom scrubs
Fresh bed linen for guest rooms
Inside appliances (hello, Christmas ham in the oven!)
Window and glass cleaning for all that summer light
Skirting boards, dusting and decluttering
If your calendar is full, our premium housekeeping services across the Northern Beaches, North Shore, Eastern Suburbs, Inner West and Perth can handle all those time-consuming details so you start the holidays on the right foot.
🎁 2. Get Guest-Ready Without the Pressure
If Christmas at your place looks like a revolving door of relatives, friends, cousins you forgot existed and people dropping in “just quickly” - preparation is your best friend.
We recommend:
Fresh towels rolled and ready
Stocking up the bathroom with spare toiletries (kids always forget something!)
Pre-making simple breakfast options
A designated “drop zone” for bags, shoes and beach gear
Candles or essential oils to set the vibe
And if you really want to breathe easier, schedule a Jetlag Remedy reset clean mid-week to reset the chaos. Clients love this during the school holidays.
🍽️ 3. Entertaining Made Effortless
Christmas entertaining should feel joyful - not stressful.
Here are simple ways to keep things smooth:
Keep the menu simple:
Anchoring the meal with one hero protein (ham, turkey, prawns) and adding light sides means less time in the kitchen.
Prep what you can the day before:
Chopping veggies, marinating proteins, setting the table, doing a fridge clean-out.
Outsource the post-party clean:
A lifesaver for Boxing Day!
Our holiday cleaning services in Sydney and Perth include full kitchen resets, bathroom sanitation, rubbish removal and even washing and folding laundry if needed.
🏡 4. The “Hot Spots” Every Home Needs Cleaned Before Christmas
Even the cleanest homes have spots that guests always notice:
Front entrance (first impressions!)
Guest bathroom mirrors, taps and grout
Kitchen surfaces & sinks
Outdoor areas and BBQ zones
Floors, especially if you have little ones or pets
Our team specialises in detailed residential cleaning and knows exactly where to focus for homes across the Northern Beaches and Perth’s coastal suburbs.
🎅🏽 5. The Boxing Day Reset (Your Secret Weapon)
After a big Christmas Day, a professional reset clean is worth its weight in gold.
Think:
Full kitchen clean (goodbye sticky surfaces)
Vacuuming & mopping
Bathroom refresh
Tidying outdoor areas
Folding washing & refreshing linens
This is one of our most requested services after Christmas - a total home reset so you can enjoy the rest of summer without the mess.
