Out of sight, out of mind
Ideally, you’ll have enough time to put all your belongings back in their proper place. However, in a pinch, you just need to find some temporary storage space to ensure your living spaces look tidy.
If you’re in this position, grab a laundry basket, bag or box and put any miscellaneous items like toys or spare decorations in it. Then, place it in a free bedroom, cupboard or wardrobe and come back to it when your guests have left.
One thing at a time
When you’re in a rush, the idea of house cleaning can be quite overwhelming. So, break the job down into smaller tasks and tackle them one at a time!
Focus on the key areas where your visitors are likely to spend the most time. For example:
- The entryway
- Bathrooms
- Kitchen
- Dining/living room
- Guest bedrooms
Make sure they’re all fully stocked, wipe down all surfaces and give the floors a quick vacuum and mop to make sure they’re in a suitable condition for guests.
The devil’s in the details
If you have time, concentrating on some choice details can make all the difference to the overall quality of your house cleaning job.
For instance, make sure there’s plenty of toilet roll in the bathrooms, provide a clean set of guest towels and refill air fresheners to ensure every room smells lovely. You could even leave a couple of bunches of fresh flowers around to make it look like you really went the extra mile.
Time for a quick walk-through
Just before your visitors arrive, it’s worth doing a quick scan of your home from top to bottom to check for anything you might have missed. Think spare underwear under the bed, bins that need emptying, surfaces that need dusting… Anything that might annoy you later if you notice it when you’ve finally sat down with your guests.
And there you have it! By following these quick and easy house cleaning tips, you can ensure your home is in visitor shape in no time.
