Here’s how to get your home holiday-ready with ease 👇
Why Pre-Holiday Cleaning is Essential
A good cleaning before you head off on holiday does more than just keep your home tidy; it gives you peace of mind. Coming home to a clean, clutter-free space helps you settle back in after your travels. Not to mention, leaving your house spotless means no bacteria build up and can avoid unpleasant odours. Whether scrubbing the kitchen or doing a quick vacuum in the living room, a little prep goes a long way.
How Much Time Should You Spend Cleaning Before a Holiday?
You don’t need to spend hours cleaning before your trip. Aim to set aside one or two days for a deep clean, depending on the size of your home. Focus on the key areas: the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms. Using time-saving cleaning tips and multi-purpose products, like Thankyou’s Universal Cleaner, you can make the process efficient without compromising cleanliness.
Clean Smarter, Not Harder
Kick off your prep with a thorough clean using Thankyou’s Universal Cleaner— a 100% natural cleaner that doubles as a hospital-grade disinfectant. Its plant-based formula can be diluted to household strength as an antibacterial cleaner for surfaces like countertops, floors, and windows. This makes it one of Australia’s most affordable, eco-friendly cleaning products.
Here’s why the Thankyou Universal Cleaner is a game changer:
- It’s made from natural, plant-based ingredients—free from harsh chemicals.
- Its versatility allows you to clean the whole home!
- The cleaner is budget-friendly due to its dilution, meaning one bottle goes a long way.
Pair it with the Thankyou Microfibre Cloth, made from 90% recycled plastic designed to last forever! This duo is an effective team for removing dirt, grease, and grime.

Thankyou has also developed a sustainability-focused refill system with Universal Cleaner Forever Bottles and Refills, so you can leave your house spotless pre-holiday and stocked for your return.
