6 Things Your Guests Are Noticing:
Pet hair- You’ll probably want to do a quick dust if you have a home with shedding pets! Guests may notice when they go home covered in fur! Give your couches a quick vacuum, too!
The smell of your home- Light a candle, crack a window or use an air freshener! The smell of your home is the first thing your guests will notice!
Baseboards in front of the toilet- You don’t need to stress about ALL the baseboards in your house, but when your guests are using your washroom they’ll probably notice this!
Clutter on common spaces- Cleaning up piles of junk on your coffee table or in your kitchen is a good idea!
Toothpaste in the bathroom sink- Definitely give your sink a quick wipe before guests arrive!
Floors- Depending on how dirty your floors are, they may need to be vacuumed AND mopped, but use your judgment!
6 Things You Shouldn’t Stress Over:
The fridge- Your guests probably aren’t peeking inside!
The bedrooms- Close the bedroom door and worry about it another time!
The windows- Don’t waste your time cleaning something no one is going to notice or care about!
Cleaning out closets- Aside from the coat closet, your guests aren’t looking inside!
Organizing your kids’ toys- If your guests are bringing their kids, the toys are going to become a disaster right away anyways! And if they aren’t, they won’t notice!
The light fixtures- You’re the only one who notices the dust!
