Last-Minute Cleaning Tips to Prepare Your Home for Guests

Unexpected guests on their way? Don’t stress! With these last-minute cleaning tips, you can create a warm, inviting space in just 30 minutes. Follow this 30-minute guest cleaning guide to make your home guest-ready without breaking a sweat.

Focus on High-Traffic Areas

Start with the spaces your guests will see first, like the living room, kitchen, and bathroom. Clear away clutter by quickly collecting stray items in a basket or bin. Place it out of sight for now—you can sort through it later.

Quick Dust and Wipe Down

Grab a microfibre cloth and dust visible surfaces like coffee tables, shelves, and countertops. Wipe down kitchen counters and sinks, as these areas can leave a lasting impression. For extra shine, use a multipurpose cleaner to make surfaces sparkle.

Sweep or Vacuum Floors

Run a vacuum or sweeper over high-traffic areas to pick up crumbs, dirt, and pet hair. If time is tight, focus on the main walkways and any rugs or carpets in the living room or entryway. A last-minute clean is better than nothing!

Freshen the Bathroom

Guests will almost always visit the bathroom, so make sure it’s tidy. Replace any hand towels, wipe down the sink and mirror, and ensure the toilet is clean. Add a pleasant touch by lighting a candle or placing an air freshener nearby.

Last-Minute Touches

Finish by opening windows for fresh air or using a fabric spray to freshen up furniture. Arrange any throw pillows and blankets neatly to make the space feel cosy. With these last minute cleaning tips, you can transform your home into a guest-ready haven in just 30 minutes!
