You’ve just got back home from
the day’s work and you are so tired; you just want to let yourself loose…not
minding the state of your house. Then you get this I-am-on-my-way-to-your-house
call. Or just at that moment you are just ‘lazying’ around the house and your
spouse calls to say ‘’honey, I am coming home with a friend’. After the call, you
are panicking and do not know where to start from. Here are tips to quickly do the magic.
DUMP ALL IN ONE: If you have things littered around and arranging
them will take a long time, get a basket or an empty carton to pack them and
put it out of sight so you can put them back neatly later.
DO THE QUICK SWEEP: Quickly sweep the floor of the living room or use
a vacuum cleaner if you have one. This will make the floor clean. You do not
want your guest stepping on a dusty floor.
MAKE A FAST WIPE: With a disinfectant wipe or a damp towel, wipe
the side stool or dining table. You will want to serve your guest on either of
them.
CLEAN THE BATHROOM: Check the bathroom to ensure it’s in good
condition…clean and clear of laundry. Your guest may likely use the bathroom.
Ensure the tissue paper is in place and the water is running.
USE A SWEET SCENT: Use good room fragrance (or air-freshener) in both
the living room and the bathroom. Make sure the room is well ventilated or turn on
the air-conditioner.
You can do this in 5-7 minutes.
If there are other people in the house, you can delegate the chores and you
will be amazed that in 3 minutes the house is set to welcome the guest.
