Keeping Up Appearances

Unexpected company is coming in 15 minutes. How do you ensure a clean house in a matter of minutes. The following eight steps will help you fake a clean house.

Odor Control
Spring is not yet fully sprung and the house has been closed up for days at at time. Spray your favorite air freshener, turn on a fan, or open the windows to get stale air moving.

Clutter Control
Nothing makes a house look messier than clutter. Don't worry about putting everything away, just stow it out of sight until after the guests leave.

Freshen Yourself
Your guests will spend more time looking at you than at your house. If necessary, change clothes, run a brush through your hair.

Living Room
The place where you'll be the most, needs the most attention. Work quickly from left to right tidying each surface and quickly vacuum the main walkway of the floor.

Bathroom
Grab disinfecting wipes, wipe down all the surfaces , change the trash, make sure there is hand soap, a hand towel, and toilet paper accessible.

Entryway
The first thing that your guests will see is your entryway. toss shoes in the coat closet and close it, tidy up with a broom.

Kitchen
if you kitchen, like ours, is right of the entryway, rinse and stack dishes neatly in the sink, take a cleaning wipe and wipe down the kitchen surfaces.

Other Areas
If you've finished all this and your guests still haven't arrived, keep doing small chores until they arrive, focusing only on rooms they will see.
