Overall, you are feeling like a <\/span><b>\u201cSupermom\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, after a very long day. However, you are also feeling exhausted!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, you kick back on the couch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you are sitting and relaxing (much deserved by the way!), you can\u2019t help but to realize the fact that it appears as though a tornado has ripped through your home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your child\u2019s toys are everywhere, except where they belong. Dishes are piled up in the sink. That dust is making it difficult to remember the color of your table. And bathrooms haven\u2019t been cleaned in over a week. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After taking it all in, you breathe a sigh of relief and think to yourself, \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">don\u2019t you worry mama, you\u2019ve always got tomorrow to tackle it<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;. But just then, the phone rings. As you struggle to gain the energy to answer the call, your heart starts to race faster and faster as you hear the words coming out on the other end, \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hi you! We are in the neighborhood and thought we\u2019d quickly swing by. We are about 10 minutes out, see you soon<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As your heart beats faster, your mind begins to race! First you look at your torn and stained pajama pants that you quickly slipped into the minute you got home. Then you realize your top far from matches your bottoms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So you fly to your bedroom, rifling through the hamper to put on the dirty clothes you just tore off only hours earlier. \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alright, I guess that is good enough<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d, you think to yourself. Then you remember your home is in disarray! You look at the clock, you have 8 minutes left until they will be knocking at your door and you go into panic mode. &#8220;<\/span><b><i>Where do I possibly start?!&#8221;<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the above scenario is one you have unfortunately faced, then know <\/span><b>you are not alone<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Out of sight, out of mind.<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Begin with everything on your countertops and sprawled upon your floors that don\u2019t belong. I always recommend having bins and baskets (especially if you have young children and their accompanying toys) strategically placed around your home. Tossing every toy that you see in a basket gives it an organized look, even if it is anything but. When the baskets are full (or the items aren\u2019t toy related), it is time to fill open cabinets, drawers, and closets. Guests shouldn\u2019t be rifling through these places (if they are, then perhaps skip this entire list and politely decline their offer next time ;)). The items don\u2019t have to be organized, they just need to be out of sight. You can organize at a later time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3038\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplyseptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_3846-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"how to clean house fast, how to clean your house fast, how to quickly clean, clean fast, Expecting Guests?

The bathroom.<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t need to clean every bathroom you have at this point (heck, there definitely isn\u2019t time). Instead, choose the one bathroom that your guests are most likely to use and quickly do a once over on the toilet, sink and faucet. Anything is better than you currently have, right?!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>3. Piled up dishes.<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a dishwasher, GREAT! Hide any and all dishes in there (you can scrub off the scum later). If you don\u2019t, simply stack them nicely. Your guests know that you eat, they know that dishes go along with this process, and as a result, they won\u2019t be shocked by dishes. Just try your best to show some semblance of order.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>4. Get to dusting.<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grab a paper towel and get to work. Forget every shelf, every table, every trinket. No time for that! Instead, think large surfaces of areas where your guests are likely to congregate (tables, countertops, etc.). Swipe, swipe&#8230; done in a mere couple minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>5. Garbage.<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m faking this whole clean house thing<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d will become very obvious if your garbage can is overflowing. If the lid can\u2019t be closed, it\u2019s time to toss out the bag and grab a new one!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>6. Create a Welcoming Atmosphere <\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last but not least, nothing says \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">now this is a clean house with a mama that has it all put together<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d more than a fresh, welcoming scent. That is why you NEED to give your guests the best first impression. Similar to the steps above, this one couldn\u2019t be any easier. Simply grab your <a href=\"http:\/\/cbi.as\/a1g9o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Glade\u00ae Atmosphere Collection\u2122 Fine Fragrance Mist<\/a> products (my favorites being No.1 Enraptured\u2122 and No.2 Bright\u2122 scents) and get to it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simply spray up and sweep side to side in every room for a fresh smelling room. It\u2019s so easy to spray due to the continuous spray mechanism (unlike any other room spray pumps!) <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why do I recommend this fragrance mist above others?<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Because the <a href=\"http:\/\/cbi.as\/a1g9o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Glade\u00ae Atmosphere Collection\u2122 Fine Home Fragrance<\/a>\u00a0is infused with essential oils and masterfully crafted. Furthermore, the fragrance and essential oils combination provides an experience comparative to high-end room spray, but for a fraction of the cost&#8230; SCORE! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7014\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplyseptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_3979-300x205.jpg\" alt=\"how to clean house fast, how to clean your house fast, how to quickly clean, clean fast, Expecting Guests?
