The phone rings! "Hi, thought we'd drop by for a minute......." You never hear a word after that, do you? Just lists of thing that HAVE to be picked up and cleaned QUICK!!!! Here are some helpful tips:
- Laundry baskets are your friends. Run through the house and pick up everything that is out of place and toss it in the basket!
- Pour bleach or Pine-sol down your kitchen sink drain. Makes it smell like you’ve been cleaning everything.
- Put out fresh towels in the Bath and Kitchen.
- Swish the toilet and wipe down the vanity.
- Kids are helpful. Use them. Bribe them with ice cream.
- Cram the dish washer as full as it will go.
- Give yourself a pat on the back.
- Spray scented oil or air freshener in the cold air return.
- Light some candles.
- Sweep the front entryway.
- Make coffee.
I call this the 10 second tidy, which happens if I get a warning that some one is popping over!
