Thanksgiving Cleaning in Irvine
Thanksgiving cleaning for Irvine homes, from Woodbridge and Northwood to Great Park and Portola Springs. We do the prep clean before your guests arrive and the kitchen-heavy cleanup after, at flat rates confirmed before we start.
Before guests, after the party
Book either visit or both. With both, the same cleaner handles each one.
Before-guests prep clean
A full clean in the days before Thursday, November 26: kitchen counters and cabinet fronts, appliance exteriors, the bathrooms guests will use, dusting, vacuuming and mopping. Add the inside of the oven ($50) or the refrigerator ($45) to make room for the turkey and the sides.
Day-after cleanup
Friday through Sunday after Thanksgiving: stovetop and oven front degreased, sink and counters cleaned, dishwasher loaded, roasting pans and serving pieces hand-washed on request, floors vacuumed and mopped, bathrooms reset, and trash and recycling bagged.
Guest suites for visiting family
If family is flying in, we can turn over a guest room and bath before they land: fresh linens ($20 per bed), bathroom detailed, closet and dresser surfaces dusted. Useful in Irvine floor plans with a downstairs guest suite.
Hosting Thanksgiving in an Irvine village home
Many Irvine homes are newer builds with open kitchens that run straight into the family room, so whatever happens at the stove is on display all evening. The prep clean focuses on that line of sight: quartz counters, the island, appliance fronts, the cooktop and the floor guests cross between the kitchen and the table.
After dinner, the open plan works the other way. Grease and gravy splatter on quartz, a crowded sink and heavy traffic across luxury vinyl plank in Great Park and Portola Springs homes. We clean quartz with pH-neutral products and mop LVP with a damp microfiber mop instead of steam, which is how those surfaces should be treated all year.

Tips for Thanksgiving hosts in Irvine
Clear the island the night before
In most Irvine kitchens the island becomes the buffet. Empty it Tuesday night so the prep clean gets the full surface, including the overhang where crumbs collect.
Skip the vinegar on quartz
Blot cranberry and wine spills on quartz with water and mild dish soap. Vinegar and citrus cleaners dull the finish over time.
Mop LVP with a damp cloth, not steam
Steam can work under vinyl plank seams. A barely damp microfiber mop handles holiday spills safely.
