Guest-Ready in a Flash: Quick Cleaning Hacks for Last-Minute Visitors

Did you know that the average person spends about 6 hours a week cleaning their home? But when guests are on their way, you don’t always have that kind of time. Whether it’s a last-minute visit from friends or family, here are some fast and quick cleaning ideas to make your home guest-ready in no time.

1. Focus on High-Traffic Areas

When time is limited, concentrate on the areas that guests are most likely to see. This includes the living room, kitchen, and bathroom.

Quick Tips:

• Living Room: Fluff up cushions, fold blankets, and clear any clutter from surfaces.
• Kitchen: Wipe down countertops, do a quick sweep of the floor, and make sure the sink is empty.
• Bathroom: Replace towels, wipe down the sink and mirror, and ensure the toilet is clean.

2. Use Multi-Surface Cleaners

Multi-surface cleaners can save you time by allowing you to clean multiple areas with just one product. 

3. Quick Floor Cleaning

Floors can make a big impression, so give them a quick once-over. For carpets, a quick vacuum can do wonders. For hard floors, a speedy mop with our Tile & Hardfloor Cleaner will leave them looking spotless.

Pro Tip: If you’re short on time, focus on the areas that are most visible, such as the entryway and pathways through the house.

4. Freshen Up the Air

A clean-smelling home can make a great first impression. Use our Odour Eliminator to quickly freshen up any room. You can also light a scented candle or use an air freshener for an instant boost. Use a soy based candle for a longer burn, better scent through and a sustainable option for creating beautiful ambiance in your living space.

When guests are on their way, don’t panic. With these fast and quick cleaning ideas, you can make your home presentable in no time. And for those times when you need a deeper clean, remember that Cleaning Clinic offers a range of rental machines and professional-grade detergents to help you achieve a spotless home with minimal effort.
