Helpful Tips for this Holiday Season in Speed Cleaning for all those Visitors
Help Make Your House Noticeably Clean
1. Act like a guest. Grab a notepad and a pen. Stand at the front door and trace the steps your guests might take through your house. Write down which rooms you encounter. This will give you an idea of exactly what areas you need to focus on. "Your guests will have unlimited time to look around in your bathrooms," says Linda Cobb, Queen of Clean, best-selling author and television personality. "Walk in, sit down, look up, look down and around … and then clean! Be sure you have extra toilet paper and disposable hand towels during cold and flu season."
2. Gather up throw rugs and take them outside for a good shake. Then air them on a clothesline or railing for several hours.
3.Switch from tablecloths to place mats, and arrange a bowl of fruit or a vase of fresh flowers in the middle of the kitchen table. The mats are easier to keep clean — plus, if your table looks set, it’s a less likely landing pad for mail and other clutter.
4. Steam your microwave clean. Save time; work less. “Pour 2 cups of water into a microwave-safe bowl, and cook on high for 5 minutes. The steam generated will soften any cooked-on food splatters. Then, wipe down the interior with a damp sponge,” says Bredenberg.
5. Declutter.Look through your house at a high level. Are there disorderly corners in your family room? Stacks of papers in your kitchen? Go through these items and either put things in their proper place or throw them out. Cobb recommends carrying a laundry basket throughout the house to collect things that are out of place. "Then, walk through your house and put them back where they belong. You'll be amazed at how fast and easy this is, and how neat the house will appear," she says.
6. Focus on the scent. After your house is clean, add touches of freshness by hiding Gain® dryer sheets all over your house. Try placing them between the couch cushions, behind bookshelves and in drawers.
