Thank you for doing things together. Yes - it is a staged video, but showing that you work together means so much.

It’s also good to leave a plunger in the bathroom just in case and they don’t have to be embarrassed asking for one.

I tend to clean using a 15/45 minute rule. 15 mins cleaning, 45 mins resting. I have a number of health issues that mean I can easily push myself too far, physically. And this rule helps me get more done without killing myself. I also don’t have a regular cleaning routine, so a lot of my cleaning gets pushed off until I have guests coming, so there’s usually A TON for me to catch up on!

I love creating little welcome baskets too☺️ whenever I’m at the dollar store I try to pick up mini shampoos, soaps, toothbrushes, etc.. My guests love this thoughtful touch

Loved the video! Super practical, esp the blind smells 😂 My cousin did the basket of toiletries idea along with a bottle of water. I thought that was real smart. She also left a charger plugged in next to the bed 👌 I thought those were real smart ideas!

I open all the windows while I’m cleaning before I apply the scents. I also bathe the dog. I put out guest water bottles and snacks, toiletries a website we use for sleep sounds.

We recently had a bunch of people visit after Thanksgiving and the process for cleaning up the house was very, very long and hard. Dishes, laundry, floors, bathrooms, the front yard with its endless amount of leaves and we have a dog, too, so we had to clean up a couple dog messes so the kids had a yard that was ready for them to play in, too. And there was so much more that I didn't do. I didn't tackle the fridge front, nor did i empty the bad stuff from the fridge, though I did do the terrible kitchen floor and the mildly dirty lower cabinet doors and drawer faces. I did wipe down the dishwasher front - I think?; I did tackle the oven exterior of the door, and the microwave front, and the oven handle which was a pain in its own way. And I did the front stairs which are carpeted, which, with a dog who sheds a bunch is always a chore - and then after the guests left, the stairs were a nightmare in a different way from bits of leaves and tons of shoes and going up and down the stairs endlessly. It was really fun, but it was a ton of work before and after.

Sounds like a good reason to introduce a no shoes rule + machine washable house slippers basket for guests! 😁

@Yoladyvoice 5 ай бұрын

Less of a cleaning and more of a comfort but While It's rare for us to have guests over I always have snacks prepared for expected guests and take into consideration each person's diet needs like allergies and such! It adds a lil welcome "home" feel imo

What would you suggest as a substitute for fabreeze? I am allergic to it. Non stop sneezing

@daniellewagner3926 5 ай бұрын

I am too! I get scent induced migraines too so vinegar and lots of plug-ins and candles wreck me. I use Hex Performance fabric deodorizer. The fresh and clean scent smells like green apples to me but it's never overwhelming and the scent fades quickly!

The timer takes off the stress. Staying focused on one room and not getting distracted with other tasks, which is what happens with me. Clearing counters, stove tops, dish drainer is my full time job it seems that they are drop zones. The one bad cleaning habit in this house is papers, Mail, etc will be moved from common area to office where door is shut, and office is near unusable because of this "cleaning" method....

@daniellewagner3926 5 ай бұрын

We take our wifi/guest stuff one step further and include some local snacks and chocolate on their bed so they don't have to rummage through a strange kitchen for that midnight snack! I also take the stick vacuum and hit all the places where cobwebs and gnats like to accumulate, especially where I know the sun will shine through and highlight them. 😆 It takes so little time but makes me feel like our space is super clean even if it's not.

@deborahgeorge3238 5 ай бұрын

That always worries me. We do get so used to the smell of our own house we can’t smell what it’s really like. I have two toy poodles that like to lick their paws and to me, all I can smell is dirty dog feet. 😩

@alicequayle4625 4 ай бұрын

Great tips. Id like to suggest that people avoid artificial scents and try to use natural cleaners like isopropyl alcohol and vinegar, before having guests over Some people eg me react badly to artificial scents and cleaning materials. I use essential oils like peppermint to make the place smell nice. And wafting scents of coffee is always good.

@theyoftheravens Ай бұрын

Fresh coffee or tea > over perfumes for sure! My asthma reacts horribly to perfumed stuff. Having a small pot on the stove with water and a couple cinnamon sticks (provided there's no allergy to that 😜) or similar is also good!

Wow....that’s great that you both put in 15 minutes of cleaning which is really equivalent to 30 minutes of cleaning. 🤯😜👍. Now, how do I get my spouse to put in his share of 15 minutes? Lol
