"The guests are arriving this evening, and we still need to clean!"

We've all been guilty of procrastination, especially when it comes to cleaning. Most of us have also gotten the news that guests are coming unexpectedly. Are you expecting guests and are worried about the state of your home? Don't panic! With the right techniques and tips, you can get your place looking spic and span in no time. Here's a quick guide on how to clean your home for guests in a hurry.

Here's a few tips for cleaning on a time crunch! 💪

The Three Room Rule:

Focus on the three most important rooms where your guests are likely to spend most of their time. This is usually the living room, the bathroom, and the kitchen. Start with these rooms and make sure they look presentable before tackling anything else.

Speed Cleaning:

Multitasking isn't so hard when your have plan!

Make sure to keep some basic cleaning supplies on hand like:

• glass cleaner

• all-purpose cleaner

• paper towels

• rags

• vacuum cleaner (or broom)

• microfiber dust cloths

With these basics, you can make each room feel a little fresher with little effort.

While you're in each room, clear out any visible clutter from countertops and shelves. Dust surfaces with a microfiber cloth or duster, and vacuum floors as needed. Wipe down appliances as well as other surfaces with an all-purpose cleaner. Put away any clothes or items lying around, making sure not to leave anything that obstructs furniture or floor space.

Creating an Illusion of Cleanliness:

If there's still no time to deep clean certain areas of your home, create an illusion of tidiness. Place accent items around the house such as fresh flowers in vases or scented candles on end tables. This helps to distract from any messiness or dust that may be hiding under furniture pieces. You can also place baskets filled with blankets or pillows in various locations to make the room feel cozy.

With these tips you'll be able to create an inviting atmosphere for your guests without the mad dash! It doesn't take much effort, just a little planning, to make sure your home is prepped and ready for guests.
