Quarter Your Cleaning Plan
Don’t panic! Instead of trying to randomly clean up your home, instead quarter the plan in order to achieve success in four smaller sections. If your guests are planning on spending the night, focus more on their bedroom space. If you only plan on hosting a nice dinner, then your kitchen and living room should be primary concerns. We recommend dedicating five minutes to each of your four spaces to make the best impression.
Take On the Kitchen
As the most versatile space in the home, the kitchen tends to be a congregating point for residents and guests to converse. Whether you plan on catching up over tea or you are assisting in a great cake bake, it’s important to focus on clearing away all surfaces!
Run through and pick up any trash and dispose of it. Next, you want to compile your dirty dishes and remove them from sight. The sink is an acceptable spot, but the dishwasher is best. Once all of your countertops and tabletops are clear, take a minute to quickly scrub down the tougher stains. These quick improvements will make a big difference once company arrives!
Tackle the Entertainment Areas
Most events will revolve around the kitchen, dining room, and living room. Be sure to move onto the next two spaces next to really spruce up the place. Prioritize any trash or clutter left about, including loose papers, old beverages, silverware, and clothing. A quick sweep of items will help to create a cleaner, more spacious feeling.
While sweeping and vacuuming help to make the place more fresh, they are typically not the most noticeable forms of dirt. Surfaces such as the coffee table, dining room table, and end stands should be cleaned first, as they accumulate the most debris.
Clean Your Bathroom
While you are used to your bathroom and how it looks, your guests will likely be much more observant when they require to use the facility. The bathroom is an essential part of the home and should be given the once-over to ensure that everything is up to specifications for visitors. Focus on the floors and counters, as well as any obvious areas of grime (such as smudges on sinks and mirrors). This space is smaller than the rest of the home and can likely receive a big boost in appearance with only minor improvements. Set aside some additional time to clean that toilet!
Don’t Forget the Entryway!
Take a second to leave your front door and come back in. How does the entry look upon first glance? Clean up any items that look out of place, even if they are a part of your daily routine. Small spot-checks can whisk away cobwebs and really refresh your home. Guests will be greeted at the door, so be sure they have a clean environment while they remove their coats and shoes!
If you have a few precious minutes left over, take a quick tour of your home to keep an eye out for anything out of place. Loose laundry in the bedroom can quickly dissipate any impressions of cleanliness, as well as messy hallways, patios, and other viewable areas.
Are You Ready?
It’s amazing how fast you can spruce up your place when guests are on their way! Don’t forget in the rush of things to check how the house appears to people who are not used to your place. A fresh scent and extra sunlight may help to brighten things up!
