Pre Christmas Cleaning Cull – Kids Spaces
The Great Kid-Space Cull: Declutter & Deep Clean Before Christmas!
The silly season is officially upon us, and for parents that means one thing: preparing for the annual avalanche of new toys, books, and gear! Before Santa makes his big delivery, now is the perfect time for a tactical Pre-Christmas Cleaning Cull of your children’s spaces.
At Nest Home Services, we know that the biggest challenge in a family home clean isn’t the dusting—it’s the clutter. A good clear-out now means a lighter spring clean, a more hygienic environment, and a lot more room for joy!
Here’s your ultimate guide to tackling the kids’ rooms, and help to find the best professional cleaning services in Brisbane when you need them most.
The Pre Christmas Cleaning Cull for your kids rooms.
Phase 1: The Declutter – Making Room for Magic
The goal here is a ruthless, yet gentle, purge. Get the kids involved—it teaches them valuable life skills!
-
Toy Sanitisation & Decluttering: This is the big one. Go through old toys and sort them into three piles:
-
Keep: Their absolute favourites and high-value educational items.
-
Donate: Items that are in great condition but are no longer played with. Look for local Brisbane charities accepting donations before Christmas!
-
Toss: Broken, damaged, or incomplete toys (e.g., puzzles missing pieces).
-
-
The Linen & Laundry Refresh: Inspect bedding, blankets, and towels. Do they have stubborn stains? Cull any threadbare sheets and replace them with fresh ones. This is the perfect time for a deep carpet clean or mattress steam cleaning to remove dust mites and allergens before holiday guests arrive.
-
Bookcase Blitz: Clear out any baby books that are now too young, or duplicates. Dust every shelf with a microfibre cloth before neatly rearranging the keepers.
Phase 2: The Deep Clean – From Germs to Gleam
Once the clutter is gone, the real house cleaning begins. In a child’s room, this is less about shine and more about hygiene and sanitisation.
| Focus Area | Your Pro-Clean Checklist | Gives You |
| High-Touch Surfaces | Wipe down all light switches, door handles, bedside tables, and window sills. | Surface Disinfection, Hygienic Clean |
| Walls & Skirting Boards | Use a non-toxic cleaner or magic eraser to remove crayon marks and scuffs. Don’t forget to dust the skirting boards! | Wall Spot Cleaning |
| Floors | Vacuum thoroughly, getting into corners and under furniture. Follow up with a hot water extraction (steam clean) for carpets to remove deep dirt and allergens. | Carpet Cleaning, Hard Floor Mopping, Tile and Grout Cleaning |
| Curtains & Blinds | Dusting blinds can take ages. Take down and wash curtains, or use your vacuum’s brush attachment on venetian blinds. | Dust Removal, High-Area Dusting, Allergen Removal |
| Storage Bins & Boxes | Empty and wipe down the inside of toy boxes and drawers—they are major germ collectors! | Sanitising Cleaning, Tidy Up Service, Organisational Clean |
The Finish
The final touch is setting up the clean space for the future.
-
Invest in Effective Storage: Make sure every item has a “home.” Clear, labeled bins and shelf dividers help keep the organisational system functional, even after the new Christmas toys arrive.
-
Air Quality: Open the windows and let that beautiful air circulate. Consider dusting the ceiling fan blades—a huge source of dust and allergens in a kid’s room.
-
The Final Wipe-Down: A quick spritz of a child-safe cleaning product on all play surfaces completes the job. We use only eco-friendly cleaning solutions to protect your little ones and the environment.
