When you learn that uninvited guests are coming, the crumbs in the corner of the kitchen and the clutter on the dining table may be the first thing you think of, because they need to be processed quickly. Fortunately, last-minute cleaning does not have to cause panic-and with the right strategy, you can organize quickly, efficiently, and effectively.
To prepare your guests at home, Mental Floss has partnered with Roborock to provide eight simple tips to clean up debris, debris, and debris before your friends and family arrive.
Even if you don’t have a company nearby, you should prepare a cleaning kit and store basic supplies such as disinfectant wipes, sponges, and multi-purpose sprays in one place. Don't forget to use a stain remover or a natural stain remover like white vinegar to help you deal with any accidental spots on the way. Just pack all these supplies in a box with handles, and you can easily carry them between rooms to save a lot of time.
Recently, our home has become a daycare center, classrooms, and temporary offices, and all the time spent indoors has resulted in more chaos than you would expect your guests to see-and this is where you should start your last life -Minutes to clean. You can ask your family to help organize clothes, toys, books, magazines and other spare items. No place to put things? Sweep it into a foldable trash can or laundry basket, then hide it for later disposal. Just don't forget to return and solve the trash can after everyone has left.
Your guests may spend their time in three rooms: kitchen, living room and bathroom. Instead of wasting precious time cleaning the entire house, it is better to focus on these high-traffic areas. If you have a robot vacuum cleaner, please set it to work after you finish dusting the shelf and cleaning the countertop, and repeat this step in every room your guests frequent. Think about packing up other places—yes, even the toys scattered in your child's room—only when you have extra time.
To prepare the bathroom for guests, please clean the counter and wipe it with a multi-purpose cleaner. If you don’t have a traditional cleaner, just mix 1⅔ cup of baking soda, ½ cup of liquid soap, ½ cup of water, and a little vinegar to make a homemade substitute for bathtubs, toilets, and sinks. In addition, remember to add water to the soap dispenser, load a new toilet paper roll, and prepare a clean hand towel for the guests.
When guests arrive, the breakfast cereal bowl and your child’s milk glass should not be placed in the sink, especially if you are hosting a meal that needs to be prepared in the kitchen. Take a few minutes to rinse the dishes and load them into the dishwasher, so you have more room for gatherings.
You may not mind the loose fluff of your pet, but your guests may. Use lint rollers or rubber gloves to remove any unwanted pet hair from the carpet and sofa (pushing the rubber onto the fabric will generate enough friction to collect the pet hair). When you are done, simply rinse the gloves under running water to remove your hair.
This is obvious, but easy to forget. In order to prepare for the influx of garbage that guests are sure to generate, you should take out the garbage you already have before the guests come. This will again reduce clutter while eliminating any unwanted odors. And be sure to put a few bags in your trash can so that when you take out a bag, the substitute is already there.
If it is not too cold, please open the window or door to let fresh air into your home, so as not to smell fresh. Does your garbage disposal smell of all the dirty work it has been doing? Cut a fresh lemon or lime into quarters, turn on the water, and slowly pour the fruit into the trash can to make it smell clean. Use indoor spray or light candles to make your home exude a soft fragrance. This method can also cover up any smells of cleaning products you just used when doing housework at the last minute. In addition, a few candles will make your home feel warm and cozy.
After completing these cleaning tasks, you can focus on the interesting elements for the guests, such as arranging snacks, cold drinks, and choosing the perfect photo location to record your party.
