You are quietly sitting on the sofa watching your favorite movie when suddenly you receive a What Sapp from your family/friends/coworkers. “How are you? We are in your neighborhood and we thought about coming to see you. How about? We will arrive at your house in 10 minutes!” Help! You look around and instantly start to regret everything you said you would do but never did because you always found better (and much less productive) excuses to hang out. Now your house is pigsty and your guests are about to ring the bell.
There is no time for regrets. You have 10 minutes to make your house “give the impression” of being clean and perfectly tidy. And we underline the “give the impression” because let’s face it, miracles don’t exist and although you would sell your soul to the devil so that at this moment a fairy godmother would come with a magic wand and leave everything shining like gold, unfortunately that is not going to happen. Happen. In just 10 minutes, the only thing you are going to achieve is to hide the dirt a little. The following tricks that we give you will be very useful, good luck!
Tick, tock, tick, tock… The hands of the clock are running and there is no time to waste! Get up off the couch right now and recharge. We give you some tips to clean your house in record time. Can!
Do not waste time ordering areas that you know very well that your visitors will not step on. First of all, focus on the living room, the bathroom and the kitchen. Oh, and don’t forget the entrance hall! Remember that first impressions count the most!
Once you have defined the territory, ventilate and light a few scented candles or incense. In this way, you can eliminate bad odors that may be in your home. Next, take a bucket and put all the cleaning products you need inside it so you don’t have to go back and forth all the time looking for one of them. Having a stopwatch handy will also help you keep in mind the time you have and manage it in the best possible way.
Surely in your house you have some of the typical wicker or plastic baskets that are used to put dirty clothes or stuffed animals and children’s toys. Well, you are in luck because they will be your greatest allies. Use them to put in them everything that should not be in sight: clothes, shoes, magazines, those papers that you said you would throw away but are still on top of the furniture… Once you have everything inside, hide them in a closet, under the couch or under the chaise longue of your sofa so that your guests cannot see them. This is one of the best tricks that you can put into practice to give your house a false appearance of order. Getting clutter out of the way always works!
Once you’ve got all the junk out of the way, it’s time for an express clean. Grab a feather duster and clean up the dust. Focus on low, dark furniture. On the high shelves and in the light furniture, the specks of dust will hardly be appreciated, so do not waste time with them. The coffee table will probably be the one that attracts the most attention from your guests, so you should recreate a little more cleaning and tidying it up. If after doing all this, you still have a few minutes to spare, grab the vacuum and quickly run it over the carpet. Finally, place the sofa cushions. Ready? Let’s move on to the next room!
If you don’t want your guests to get the wrong impression of you as a pig, you should focus all your energy and the minutes you have left in the Bathroom. It’s most appreciated. Clean the sink by putting soap on your hands, running them through it, and rinsing and drying with a towel. For the outside of the toilet and the seat, use wet wipes. For the interior, use the specific cleaning product that you have at home and scrub with the brush. All perfect? Only the kitchen remains!
Time is running out and the pressure right now will make you act fast and crazy! Don’t lose your temper; you are very close to achieving your goal! Do you have unwashed dishes? If you have, run them into it. If you don’t have a dishwasher, place them on a tray and then hide it (great evils, great remedies). Clear the counter, wipe it with a damp cloth and then dry. Sort the cloths and if you still have time, sweep the floor. The most common thing is that your visitors pay more attention to the counter than to the floor, so it is much better that you give higher priority to the first one.
Play a relaxing music; take off your pajamas and…. Din Don! They are already here! Open the door and put on your best smile. Congratulations, mission accomplished!
