Get Your Home Holiday-Ready: November Prep Tips from the Ground Up

With Thanksgiving around the corner and holiday gatherings on the way, November is the month when most homeowners start prepping their homes for company. But while you're busy cleaning out the guest room and shopping for extra chairs… don’t forget to check what’s happening beneath your home.

Your crawl space, carpets, and air quality all play a major role in how your home feels — especially when it’s full of family, food, and festivities.

Here’s how to get your home holiday-ready from the ground up with a little help from your local pros at Master Kleen.

🧼 1. Deep Clean Your Carpets Before the Guests Roll In

Fall brings muddy boots, pet hair, and indoor allergens — all of which get trapped in your carpet. A professional carpet cleaning removes:

• Ground-in dirt and stains

• Odors from pets, spills, or foot traffic

• Allergens like dust, pollen, and dander

• That musty “closed-up” smell

🧽 You’ll start the holidays with fresh, clean floors your guests (and nose) will appreciate.

💨 2. Don’t Let Bad Air Ruin a Good Meal

With windows closed and heaters running, indoor air quality matters more than ever this time of year. If your crawl space or HVAC system is harboring mold spores or humidity, your guests could feel it — literally.

Master Kleen offers:

• Air sampling to detect hidden mold

• Dehumidifier solutions for damp crawl spaces

• Crawl space cleaning and odor control

👃 Let your house smell like pie and cider — not mildew and moisture.

🐭 3. Keep Uninvited Guests Outside

We’re not talking about your in-laws.Fall is peak season for pests sneaking inside — and your crawl space is the easiest entry point.

Common crawl space invaders:

• Mice

• Spiders

• Raccoons

• Silverfish

• Even snakes (yes, we’ve seen it)

🛠️ We inspect, seal, and encapsulate crawl spaces to keep pests out and peace of mind in.

💧 4. Water in the Crawl Space? Fix It Now — Not on Thanksgiving Morning

No one wants to discover water pooling under their house hours before the turkey hits the oven.If you’ve had recent rain, flooding, or sump pump issues, now’s the time to schedule a crawl space inspection and stop problems before the season hits full swing.

Master Kleen handles:

• Moisture detection

• Vapor barrier installation

• Full encapsulation

• Water extraction & drying

  
  

🍂 5. Be Proactive, Not Reactive

November is the perfect time to:

• Winterize your crawl space

• Prevent cold floors

• Lower energy bills before heating season peaks

• Avoid costly repairs in the middle of the holidays
