We, from awesome.club🇧🇷 We have prepared for you a guide with some of the steps to follow and the most effective tricks to make your home look different in record time. Follow!
1. Focus on the rooms where the guests will be
When time is short, the first thing to do is to delimit the space where visitors will stay or the areas that need greater hygiene and disinfection. The most common is that these spaces are the living room, the bathroom, the kitchen and the entrance.
Now that you know which rooms are on the priority list, get to work!
2. Ventilate the whole house
To eliminate bad odors, the smell of wax and to ventilate the house, it is essential to open all the windows during cleaning. Good ventilation will make guests and residents more comfortable.
3. Put in order and collect
It’s time to pick up everything that is lying around or that makes the house look completely messed up. While you collect, you can throw away everything that is no longer useful, returning each thing to its place or, if you have little time, store things in boxes, baskets or cupboards.
4. Disinfect the bathroom
If you have guests, chances are they will use the bathroom, so it’s important that it’s clean and well disinfected. You can get it sparkling quickly by following just a few steps:
Put a disinfectant tablet in the toilet bowl and leave it for a while in a cleaning liquid that you can also use to wash the seat. Make sure you have enough soap. Change the bathroom rug and put clean towels. Rub the faucets with a little lemon to make them shiny. Clean the sink to remove any stains or residue from soap or toothpaste. Scrub the toilet with a brush. Give the mirror a basic clean.
5. Make the kitchen presentable
Guests may not make it to the kitchen, but they may want to help you carry away the cups of coffee you’ve served or throw a piece of gum in the trash; so it is necessary to leave it, at least, presentable. It is possible to leave the kitchen clean and in order in a short time, focusing on the most important points:
Pick up dirt and food scraps. If there is a lot of garbage or food leftovers that give off a strong smell, it is better to throw the garbage away. If you have any dirty dishes, you can quickly wash them and let them dry, but if you’re in a hurry, you can leave them in the sink or dishwasher.
6. Get rid of pet hair
If you have pets at home, it is possible that there is a large amount of hair everywhere, so it is necessary to remove them with a vacuum cleaner or a brush, especially from the sofa where the guests will sit. If not, you might see your guests plucking the hair from their clothes before saying good-bye.
7. One Sweep express
Now that you’ve collected everything and you don’t have things thrown everywhere, it’s time to quickly sweep those places in the house where guests will pass when entering. After all, if you have pets, there will also be hair on the floor.
8. Remove dust and visible stains from surfaces
With a piece of paper towel or a cloth, both wet, go over the tables, dark furniture and television. Then wipe with a dry cloth. It is important to clean these surfaces, as they are where the most dust and dirt accumulates.
9. Tidy up the entrance
This is the first place that guests will see when they enter the house, therefore, it is where they will have their first impression of our home. That is why it is important to be neat and presentable. In order for the entrance to be clean and tidy, you can put away the young man’s coats and umbrellas, as well as collect shoes that are lying around in the hallway.
10. Wipe the floor with a wet cloth
If you’re in a hurry, you probably won’t have time to mop every room in the house, so if you’re about to have guests over, we recommend scrubbing the floor with a little water and nothing else. In this way, you will eliminate any stains and dust that may have remained on the floor.
11. Flavor
For the house to smell good and eliminate any possible bad odors that may have remained, you can use a little room deodorizer, a diffuser, essences, aromatic candles or natural flavorings. This simple touch will make guests feel at ease, comfortable and relaxed.
12. Prepare something to snack on
If you want your guests to feel at home, you can prepare some appetizers and thus have something to offer them. It doesn’t have to be fancy; just some roast beef or sausages, some dried fruit and some pâtés, some toast or biscuits with a simple cup of coffee.
