We’ve all experienced it, unexpected guests are coming over and the house doesn’t exactly look guest ready. You know your family and friends very well, there is always that one person who will scrutinise how tidy your home is. If you’re short of time, but still want to make your space presentable. Do not worry, here are five handy cleaning tricks to spruce up your place and leave an impression when you’re pressed for time.
- Focus on the main areas of the home.
First focus on the lounge, bathroom and kitchen as these areas will definitely be used by your guests. A swift wipe of surfaces and countertops in these rooms will quickly make everything look better. In the bathroom make sure the sink and toilet are spotless and swap out the hand towel for a new fresh one.
- Remember to have a pile of towels placed outside.
It’s braai and swimming season. When your guests are coming over for a braai or outdoor get together, put a few towels near the entrance. It’s a considerate gesture especially if they’ll be swimming or it’s an occasion where guests might want to freshen up or wipe their hands. It’s the small touches that reflect care and hospitality.
- Store toys in a basket.
Don’t have time to neatly store your children’s toys away properly? Simply grab a basket oг a container and throw all the toys in there. Then just hide it away in a closet oг a room so they’re out of sight. It’s a quick declutter trick that instantly gives your space a more room to move around, without the hassle of organising everything.
- Get the kitchen sparkling clean.
The kitchen is often the heart of any gathering and a clean one gives the impression that the whole house is clean. Make sure to put dishes in the dishwasher or stash them in the sink quickly and wipe down the counters while also sweeping the floor for a touch up before guests arrive – they often gravitate towards the kitchen area. For a fresh scent throughout the kitchen and the house, mix some fabric softener with water in a bucket and gently clean your floors using a soft mop. Besides removing small dirt your home will smell like a bouquet of flowers.
