Need to get your house ready in a jiffy when surprise guests are coming in an hour??


As well as we all plan, sometimes we have guests that visit us on the spur of the moment. Don't worry about doing a super-duper clean up job with less than an hour. Follow these speedy tips to make your home look guest-ready in an instant:

Walk through the public space with an empty laundry basket, and collect everything that is "clutter." You can sort it out later --- right now, you just need to remove it!

Wipe down all horizontal surfaces with a damp cloth. Wipe all horizontal wooden surfaces with furniture polish. Vacuum the carpets and floors in the public spaces.

Create an enchanting aroma with your favorite candles, potpourri, or by melting cinnamon and sugar on your stovetop.

Grab a quick cup of herbal tea to relax, and get ready to greet your guests!
