Pre-Christmas Home Cleaning: Don’t Panic! We'll Help You

Even Mrs Claus has to get ready

The countdown is on: Christmas and New Year are fast approaching. 

You can already picture it—a house full of guests, the table piled high with festive food, glasses clinking, children tearing into presents. 

But wait—before the sparkle, there’s the not-so-glamorous task of getting your home ready. Yes, that means cleaning.

Don’t panic! You’re not alone in staring at windows smudged from summer dust storms, carpets that have seen better days, and the mysterious dust kitties lurking under the furniture. 

After a long summer of holidays, days out, and even Sahara sandstorms depositing a fine layer across your windowsills, our homes can start to look a little less than magical. 

The good news? A pre-Christmas cleaning blitz can turn everything around and leave you ready to welcome family and friends with pride.

Where to Start

Think of it as a festive reset rather than a chore. A few key jobs done now will make your Christmas season so much smoother.

Windows – Let in as much winter light as possible by polishing away summer grime. You’ll be amazed at how much brighter the room feels with sparkling panes.

Carpets and Upholstery – Whether it’s hiring a carpet cleaner, using a home shampoo system, or calling in the professionals, a deep clean will freshen up the house and help banish those mystery stains. Furniture fabrics can benefit from a quick spruce-up too.

Floors and Furniture – A polish here, a wax there, and suddenly the wood glows like new. Perfect when you’re setting the Christmas tree in pride of place.

Fridge and Freezer – Defrost and clean now, so you’ll have space for all those festive goodies. A tidy fridge is your best friend when the Christmas shop arrives.

Kitchen and Bathroom – A good scrub of the areas your guests will notice most. Eco-friendly sprays, steam mops, and sustainable cleaning liquids are great options if you want to keep the process green.

Dishwasher Duties – Aunt Trudy’s dust-covered wedding gift dinner set (that only makes its appearance at Christmas) deserves to sparkle. Run it through a fresh cycle before the big day.

The Festive Pay-Off

Yes, it’s work, but the pay-off is worth it. When your guests arrive and comment on how bright, fresh, and welcoming your home feels, you’ll know the effort paid off. 

With everything sparkling clean, you can focus on what really matters—enjoying the festive season, creating memories, and tucking into that Christmas pudding.

So, take a deep breath, grab your mop (steam-powered, if you prefer), and remember—this isn’t just cleaning. It’s laying the groundwork for a magical Christmas.

Ideal for Christmas? Proscenic launches the P12 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner with anti-tangle roller brush and Vertect™ Light technology

It's a cordless vacuum that can swiftly transform into a handheld version, it features 33kPa strong suction and can provide up to 60 minutes of cleaning time.

Smart home appliance manufacturer Proscenic, with a history of making components for Panasonic, Hitachi, Zojirushi, and Philips, has announced the availability of its new P12 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner. 

The P12 combines high-performance suction power with ultimate versatility, making it the ideal choice for modern homeowners who are looking for a convenient and efficient cleaning solution. (In the opinion of That's Christmas, it's an ideal Christmas gift for the new homemaker or new home owner. Or for the student who is studying away.)

Featuring an upgraded anti-tangle roller brush, the V-shaped guiding bristle works with an internal comb to reduce hair tangling, conveniently delivering a powerful performance with less maintenance needed. 

Alongside this, the 33 kPa strong suction of the 400W brushless motor provides the motorised roller brush power to efficiently pick up dirt and debris on the floor. The vacuum also has four suction modes available so there will be an option for user’s various cleaning needs.

The Proscenic P12 cordless vacuum can innovatively transform into a handheld version of itself allowing it to more effectively clean small spaces such as the sofa, upholsteries, vents, car seats, and more, making it a versatile vacuum with several different functions. The retractable vacuum tube also provides an adjustable length to allow for user’s maximum comfort while using, meaning the vacuum can be made to suit all users’ preferences.

The in-built Vertect™ Light uses green detection headlights to detect small particles that are invisible to the naked eye, helping users to see dust and debris more clearly, improving the efficiency of cleaning. Combined with the 180-degree swivel steering, the P12 ensures a thorough clean in even hard-to-reach areas. 

The P12 Cordless Vacuum not only provides an easy clean, but it also ensures users are able to use the device undisturbed; the large 2500mAh battery enables up to 60 minutes of cleaning in the quiet mode and 13 minutes in the max and, thanks to the 1.2L dust capacity, it provides users with powerful, convenient, and reliable cleaning.

The five-stage sealed filtration system with cyclonic dust separation and two HEPA filters capture 99.99% of dust particles, expelling non-allergenic purified air. This cyclone separates large particles, avoiding clogging and suction loss and the two HEPA filters also work to prevent particles larger than 0.3-micron from emission. The noise reduction technology also ensures that the device has a quieter operation of just 70 dB, so users may clean their homes without disturbing the family or pets.

The P12 is designed to facilitate an easy cleaning experience - with a convenient all-in-one large LED screen that shows the battery level, suction mode, and warnings for blockages in the V brush, the P12 is fully user-friendly. The Proscenic P12 also comes with a range of attachments, including a crevice tool, a brush tool, and a 2-in-1 combination tool, to help users tackle different cleaning tasks.

On Amazon UK, the vacuum cleaner has £40 off making it just £149.99 until the 10th October.
