The holiday season brings with it the joy of hosting family and friends. However, preparing your home for holiday guests can feel like a monumental task. From cleaning to organizing, there’s a lot to tackle before your loved ones arrive. If you live in Tampa or St. Pete, these practical tips will help you transform your home into a welcoming haven for your guests.
Start with Decluttering
Clear Out Common Areas
Decluttering is the first step in preparing your home. Start with high-traffic areas like the living room, kitchen, and entryway. Remove unnecessary items, organize shelves, and ensure there’s ample seating space for your guests to relax.
Make Space for Guest Belongings
Create room in closets and drawers for guests’ belongings. Clearing out some space shows thoughtfulness and helps your visitors feel more at home.
Focus on areas that leave a lasting impression, like bathrooms and kitchens. Scrub sinks, clean mirrors, and wipe down countertops. A sparkling clean bathroom and kitchen can elevate the overall guest experience.
Address Neglected Spots
Dust ceiling fans, clean windows, and vacuum under furniture. These small touches contribute to a polished and welcoming environment.
Add Festive Touches
Incorporate Seasonal Decor
Decorate your home with festive touches like wreaths, fairy lights, and holiday-themed table settings. These decorations not only make your home feel inviting but also create a cheerful atmosphere for your guests.
Stock Up on Essentials
Ensure your guests have access to everything they need, from fresh towels and toiletries to extra blankets. Small details like these can make a big difference in their comfort.

Reschedule Policy
If you are here to reschedule a cleaning that is NOT currently scheduled within the next 72 hours you’re good to go, no fee .Simply let us know your preferences for rebooking. For all reschedule requests, we ask that you allow a 7-day window to lock in a new slot on the schedule (although if we have an earlier opening we’ll let you know)! If you are rescheduling an appointment that’s appraoching within the next 48 hours, you will be charged for 25% of the quoted cost of your service. If you are rescheduling an appointment that’s appraoching within the next 24 hours, you will be charged for 50% of the quoted cost of your service. Same-day requests to reschedule will be charged 100% of the cost of the booked service. We thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation, as a small business last-minute gaps in our schedule are very costly. All invoices to be billed in accordance with our reschedule/cancellation policy will be automatically charged to the card on file. We thank you for choosing Joy of Cleaning!
Cancellation Policy
If you cancel your appointment within 48 hours of your appointment date, you will be responsible for 25% of the quoted cost of your service. If you cancel within 24 hours of your appointment, you will be responsible for 50% of the service. Same-day cancellations will be charged 100% of the cost of the booked service. Cancellation within a day puts us in jeopardy of having a gap in our schedule that could have been filled by someone else, and we often have a waiting list. We thank you greatly in advance for your understanding and cooperation. Cancellation fees will be charged automatically to the card on file. Cancellation timing will be determined in accordance with our business hours (week days 8am – 5pm). A text message after 5pm the day before service for example would be considered same-day cancellation – please plan accordingly. If you still would like to cancel please fill out below:
Skip Service Policy
If you are a routine customer and want to skip for any reason, your next cleaning will reflect the appropriate frequency quoted. For example, if you are bi-weekly but skip cleaning the next time we clean, your monthly rate will apply. This is fair due to the extra dust and dirt build-up in the house. Also being a bi-weekly customer means we have reserved your spot in our schedule to be cleaned by the same team at a consistent time. If customers skip it will affect that team’s entire day’s schedule. Lastly, it is not fair to the monthly customer who pays a higher rate for monthly cleanings, and a bi-weekly customer who is actually only cleaned once that month, but remains at the cheaper rate.
