Housekeeping 2025: Emerging Trends Shaping the Future of Hospitality As we step into 2025, the world of housekeeping is evolving rapidly, driven by new technology, sustainable practices, and innovative workforce solutions.

As we quickly approach the festive season, many of us will be looking forward to a much-deserved holiday break and opening our homes to family and friends. If you are still needing to get your home tidy and presentable, we have put together the ultimate 5 step plan you can follow that will help make your home really sparkle. Not only will it help set the tune for a merry and memorable holiday season, but it will impress your guests as well! 1. Declutter your home Decluttering can help create an organised and spacious environment and can transform the look of your home. Our housekeepers recommend you first start clearing out non-essential items that are not needed and put them in storage. If you realise whilst you are decluttering that you no longer have a need for them, consider donating it to charity if it is in a good condition. Start with one room at a time so you do not feel so overwhelmed. By getting rid of items in the home that you no longer need, you will soon create a bigger and more inviting space to comfortably host your guests. 2. Deep clean the bathroom Nothing will impress your guests more than a sparkly clean bathroom, so be sure that you give it a good deep clean! First clear away all items from your sink and floors and then start wiping down all surfaces with disinfectant spray and a reusable microfibre cloth. To get rid of the soap scum more sustainably, a housekeeping hack our housekeepers recommend is using bi carb soda and vinegar mixture. Once that is all completed, add some fresh hand towels and a scented candle to complement your sparkling bathroom. 3. Add festive touches throughout home With your space now clean and organised, it is time to give it some magic with some holiday decorations! Whether it is a wreath on the door, or fairy lights hung along the staircase, adding these Christmas touches throughout your home will add extra excitement and warmth that your guests will appreciate. If you have a guest room , be sure to give it a Christmas upgrade as well! 4. Bring out the Christmas tree Congratulations on making it this far! It is now time to bring out and set up the Christmas tree. As the star of the show, it can be easy to over decorate the Christmas tree, but we recommend that you keep it classy and simple. Stick to a set colour scheme and complement it with a collection of ornaments and Christmas lights. 5. Create the ultimate Christmas playlist Christmas music is one of the easiest ways to get into the holiday mood and sets the tone for your holiday gathering with loved ones. Before your guests arrive, ask them what their favourite Christmas tunes are to create the ultimate Christmas playlist that everyone will enjoy. This personal touch will ensure everyone will get to hear to their favourite holiday song and can also create conversations among your guests as well. By following these 5 simple steps, your home will be Christmas-ready to host your celebrations in no time. Your guests will not only be impressed, but you will also get to enjoy your clean and tidy home as well.
