Ready, Set, Clean!

Impress guests in 30 minutes flat with this speedy spruce-up.

1. Clear off and wipe down surfaces.

Start by decluttering and removing unnecessary items from countertops, tables and other surfaces. Then, use a cloth and allpurpose cleaner to quickly wipe down these areas. It will instantly look tidier and give your home a fresh scent.

2. Run the vacuum.

A quick vacuuming can make a big difference in the overall appearance of your home. Focus on high-traffic areas and any visible dirt or debris. If you have time, use a vacuum attachment to remove any crumbs or dust from upholstery.

3. Give the bathroom a quick clean.

The bathroom is one of the most important areas to clean when expecting guests. Quickly wipe down the sink, toilet and mirror. While you’re in there, empty the trash bin and replace the hand towel with a fresh one.

4. Take a deep breath.

With your home looking presentable, take a moment to catch your breath before guests arrive. Remember, they’re coming to see you, not to inspect your home. Now it’s time to relax and enjoy their company.
