Preparing Your Space for the Holiday Rush in Nigeria: A Complete Cleaning Guide for Stress-Free Celebrations
The Holiday Season in Nigeria Comes with Big Traffic-Even Inside Your Home.
December in Nigeria is more than Christmas lights and family travel, it’s the season of Detty December, weddings, visitors, cooking marathons, and round-the-clock activity. Homes become social hubs. Guest rooms open up. Kitchens run overtime. And every corner suddenly needs to look perfect.
But with work, travel, and holiday planning, cleaning can quickly become overwhelming. That’s where CleanNow.Space steps in, the professional cleaning service designed to help you maintain a spotless, guest-ready home with zero stress.
This guide breaks down how to prepare your home for the holiday rush in Nigeria, plus when to call the pros so you can enjoy the season instead of scrubbing through it.
1. Start with a Nigerian-Style Deep Cleaning Before Guests Arrive
In Nigeria, holiday hosting is serious business. Aunties will comment. Kids will run everywhere. And people notice details.
Before the rush begins, aim for a full deep cleaning. This includes:
✓ Cleaning high-touch areas
Door handles, switches, and stair rails accumulate germs, especially with more visitors.
✓ Washing curtains and wiping down dusty surfaces
Harmattan dust is a real thing, and it gets everywhere.
✓ Scrubbing bathrooms
A busy Nigerian home will see extra bathroom use. Deep-clean now to avoid embarrassing moments.
✓ Degreasing kitchen appliances
Holiday cooking means heavy fryer use, ovens running nonstop, and endless jollof rice pots. A clean kitchen prevents smells, pests, and accidents.
This is where CleanNow.Space shines. Our deep cleaning teams understand Nigerian homes, dust, frequent cooking, tiled floors, compound spaces, and large family movement. We help you achieve a spotless foundation before visitors start trooping in.
2. Prepare the Guest Areas: Nigerians Host Big
Between relatives arriving from abroad, cousins returning from university, and friends stopping by for the holidays, Nigerian guest rooms get full fast.
What to clean:
- Bedding, duvets, pillows, and curtains
- Wardrobes and storage spaces
- Fans and AC vents
- Rugs and carpets
- Mattresses (yes, they need cleaning!)
Add thoughtful touches:
- Fresh towels
- Air freshener (preferably mild scents)
- Extra hangers
- A simple “welcome basket” (toiletries, mini soap, toothpaste, wipes)
Don’t have time? Let CleanNow.Space set up your guest area professionally, fresh, clean, and hotel-ready.
3. Tackle the Kitchen: The Heart of Nigerian Holiday Activity
During Christmas in Nigeria, the kitchen becomes a battlefield, fried meat, pepper soup, jollof, small chops, grills, and pastries all at once.
To prepare:
✓ Clean stovetops and ovens
Burnt food and oil buildup create smoke and unpleasant smells.
✓ Disinfect countertops
Food prep will multiply, and safety is key.
✓ Declutter the fridge
You’ll need space for Christmas chicken, drinks, leftovers, and party prep.
✓ Wash cabinets and organize pantry items
Simplifies cooking and reduces chaos.
If your kitchen feels overwhelming, CleanNow.Space’s specialized kitchen deep-clean service restores hygiene, freshness, and shine just in time for the festivities.
4. Keep the Living Room Entertainment-Ready
This is where most activities happen, gift exchange, family gist, holiday movies, and hosting.
CleanNow-style holiday living room prep:
- Vacuum and mop floors
- Wipe down electronics and surfaces
- Remove cobwebs
- Clean windows and sliding doors
- Freshen up sofas or request a professional upholstery clean
- Add simple decor (lights, centerpieces, scented diffusers)
Pro Tip:
If you’ll host kids, secure fragile items, cover fabric furniture, and avoid candles.

5. Don’t Forget Outdoor Spaces-Compounds Count in Nigeria
Visitors often sit outside, especially during harmattan evenings or large family gatherings.
Clean-out checklist:
- Sweep the compound
- Clear gutters (important for safety)
- Wash outdoor chairs
- Clean the balcony or veranda
- Brush cobwebs from gates and walls
- Mop tiled outdoor areas
- Clean swimming pool
If your compound is dusty or muddy, CleanNow.Space offers an outdoor cleaning package tailored for Nigerian homes.
6. Create a Holiday Cleaning Schedule That Matches the Nigerian Lifestyle
December in Nigeria moves fast.
People come and go. Events happen daily. Food is always cooking. Kids are always active.
A cleaning schedule helps you stay ahead:
Daily
- Quick sweep/mop
- Wash dishes
- Wipe kitchen counters
- Empty trash (to avoid pests)
Every 2–3 days
- Clean bathrooms
