Is Your Home Festive-Ready? What to Clean Before Guests Arrive

As we approach the festive season—whether it’s Deepavali, early holiday dinners, or year-end gatherings—making your home guest-ready isn’t just about decorations. Cleanliness creates comfort, and it starts with what your guests see and touch most: your soft furnishings and occasion wear.

1. Curtains & Upholstery:
These items absorb odours, dust, and cooking oils over time. Freshly cleaned curtains let in more light and make a noticeable difference in how your home feels. Upholstered chairs and cushions can trap musty smells that subtly affect your guest experience.

2. Table Linens & Chair Covers:
Table runners, napkins, and dining chair covers are often used seasonally, which means they may have been sitting in storage with trapped dust or moisture. A professional clean can refresh their colours and texture just in time for entertaining.

3. Occasion Wear:
Festive clothing often uses delicate fabrics like chiffon, silk, or embroidery—materials that should be cleaned and pressed ahead of time. Don’t leave it to the last minute.

4. Quick Turnaround for Last-Minute Hosts:
If you’re hosting on short notice, we’ve got you covered. Presto offers express 48-hour turnaround options for household items and garments, so you can be ready without stress.

Why It Matters:
A clean home signals care, comfort, and attention to detail. Preparing in advance allows you to focus on hosting and enjoying your guests instead of scrambling at the last minute.
