Tips For Prepping Your Home for Unexpected
Visitors

• Whether your unexpected guests are a welcome
  last-minute distraction, or not, that doesnt
  change the fact that theyll be arriving soon and
  the place is a mess!
• Fortunately, theres no need to panic if you
  receive a phone call telling you that relatives
  you havent seen in years have decided to drop in
  on you at short notice, and there are a few
  simple and quick tips you can follow to get the
  place shipshape before they arrive

• Focus on areas of your home your guests will be
  sure to use
• No point wasting your time and energy cleaning
  your bedroom or family bathroom, if theres next
  to no chance your guests will ever use them.
  Instead, focus your cleaning and tidying energies
  on areas of your home youre almost certain
  theyll use, such as your entrance, lounge,
  kitchen and downstairs toilet. If your unexpected
  guests are staying the night, then naturally
  youll have to make sure the guest bedroom is
  clean and tidy before their arrival.

• Whichever bathroom your guests are likely to use,
  it must be clean, in many ways, this is more
  important than cleaning the lounge or kitchen!
  Pop a scented candle in there, swap the towels
  for fresh ones and make sure the toilet is
  spotless!
• In the kitchen, if there are dirty dishes in the
  sink, load them in the dishwasher or hide them
  under the sink! If you have a few hours notice
  before the guests arrive, youll have time to
  wash them and put them away. Wipe down all
  surfaces, empty the trash can and clear any
  clutter.

5

• Get all members of the household involved
• They might be your unexpected guests, but your
  home belongs to everyone in it, and its
  certainly not unreasonable to ask that they help
  you give it a quick clean and tidy up. Your kids
  can pick up magazines, toys and any other items
  scattered around and store them away in a box or
  closet, while other adults can help with
  vacuuming and dusting., for example.

• Make sure the entrance is clean and tidy
• This will be the first impression your unexpected
  visitors get, so if you want them to believe you
  live in a clean and tidy home (even if the
  opposite may be true!), make sure this area is
  not just free of dirt and clutter, but looks
  welcoming. If you have some scented candles,
  light one in the entranceway, or close to it, and
  theyll be welcomed with a sweet fragrance.
• Tidy shoes away where possible, and hang up any
  stray coats and jackets.

7

• Grab a duster, a pack of disinfecting wipes, and
  work around your home
• You dont need to be meticulous in your cleaning,
  sometimes a quick dust and wipe down of surfaces
  is all it takes to make a home look more
  inviting, and less grubby.
• Depending upon just how last minute and
  unexpected your guests are, you might have time
  to call up a cleaning service and have them come
  in and blitz the place before theyre due to
  arrive. This will leave you free to think about
  how youll entertain your guests and what youll
  offer them to eat and drink!
