• While theres no accounting for some people who
  choose to rock up on your doorstep without so
  much as a prior phone call, and little you can do
  to make your house presentable having had
  absolutely no notice of their impending arrival,
  other types of last-minute guests can easily be
  catered for when it comes to welcoming them into
  a clean home.
• Below are some handy tips for getting your home
  shipshape for last minute visitors

• Begin with the kitchen
• If your sink is full of dirty dishes and you
  dont have the time to clean, simply put them
  somewhere out of sight until you can tackle them.
  Whether in the dishwasher, or even the oven, just
  get them gone!
• Countertop clutter can be put inside a closet or
  basket to be tidied away properly once the guests
  have gone, and all counters can be quickly
  sprayed with disinfectant. Throw garbage in the
  trash can, sweep or vacuum the floor and give a
  good squirt of air freshener, or light a scented
  candle to mask any lingering odors.

• Move onto the bathroom
• Pop the bathroom fan on and give the entire room
  a quick wipe over with some cleaning wipes,
  focusing on the sink and toilet as theyre the
  most likely to be used. Clean the mirror if its
  grubby or dusty, flush the toilet, give it a
  quick scrub and replace the towels with clean
  ones. Clean the floor, no need to pay too much
  attention to the corners if time is in short
  supply. Then, light a few scented tealights to
  give it a more welcoming and aromatic ambience.

5

• Clean and tidy the living room
• Begin by tossing any unnecessary clutter into a
  closet or laundry basket, cleaning any trash up
  and straightening the cushions, throws and rugs.
  Wipe all surfaces in the room, especially any
  tables, and if you have pets, use a damp cloth to
  pick up any dander from the furniture. Vacuum the
  floor, again, no need to spend too much time in
  the corners or under furniture, just the main
  footfall areas will do. Light a scented candle or
  spray some air freshener.

• As first impressions count, clean the entryway
• Wipe down the door knob/handle and shake off the
  welcome mat before sweeping the front step. A
  glass door would benefit from a quick polish, and
  any shoes, bags, coats and other items should be
  stored tidily away. Vacuum if carpeted, or brush
  if tiled or wooden, and leave the door open for a
  few minutes if possible, to let any stale odors
  dissipate and some fresh air in.
• If your cleaner is scheduled to visit before your
  guests arrive, then youve nothing to worry about
  and you can ask them to focus on certain areas of
  your home as mentioned above. If time permits and
  your cleaner is available at short notice, have
  them come round and help you get the place
  shipshape.
