Things to Always Clean Before Guests Arrive

Start with a checklist and add these high traffic areas to it.

When you’re hosting guests, you don’t have to give your home a top-to-bottom scrub before they arrive, but there are a few areas you should pay attention to. First of all, start with a checklist and add these high traffic areas to it.

First up, the entryway. it tends to get overlooked but it’s the first thing guests see…be sure to remove your clutter and make space for them to store their things. This one is probably obvious but the guest bathroom should also make the list. Along with giving it a wipe down, you should re-stock necessities. You’ll want to target the guest rooms as well and the kitchen! That’s of course where most congregate and want to lend a hand. Finally, high touch services like doorknobs and door handles, light switches, remotes, and faucets.
