How to Clean Before Guests Arrive

When guests are on the way, you do not need to deep clean the entire house. Focus on the areas they will see and use most — the entryway, living room, kitchen, and guest bathroom. Here is a prioritized cleaning plan.

High-Priority Areas (Do These First)

  • Guest bathroom — clean toilet, sink, mirror, and floors
  • Kitchen — clear counters, clean sink, wipe appliance fronts
  • Living room — tidy surfaces, fluff pillows, vacuum visible floors
  • Entryway — clear shoes, wipe surfaces, sweep

If You Have More Time

  • Dust visible shelves and surfaces
  • Vacuum or mop all main floors
  • Empty trash cans throughout the house
  • Put fresh hand towels in the bathroom
  • Light a candle or open windows for fresh air
