Quick Ways to Prepare for Unexpected Guests
  • To avoid panic, keep a game plan handy for situations just like these.
  • Get the entire family involved. Not only will the task go more quickly, but keeping everyone busy means no time to add to the mess!
  • Keep a large box or clothes basket handy. Carry around the house and fill with everything “left out”, then hide it in an out of the way location.
  • Tackle problem areas first and leave smaller, less important tasks to the last minute.
  • A quick spray of air freshener or lighting several candles will make your home feel more welcoming.
  • Clear counter and tabletops to give a room an overall lift.
  • Wipe down your front door and clear the entrance to make for a great first impression.
