Getting ready to host guests can be stressful under the best of circumstances, but it reaches another level when you don't have much time to clean. We’ve all been there, and fortunately, we’ve got a tried-and-true collection of tips and tricks to get your home guest-ready in a flash, giving you more time to be present and enjoy your guests. So roll up your sleeves, grab your favorite wellness-inspired Therapy Clean products, and let’s tackle this together!
Start with the Entryway
First impressions matter, so begin with the entryway. A tidy and welcoming entrance sets the tone for your guests. Use a plant-based cleaning product like Therapy Clean's natural all-purpose cleaner to quickly wipe down surfaces. Available in three different scent profiles, each infused with essential oils, you (and your guests!) can enjoy the added benefits of aromatherapy. It’s such a subtle but lovely way to say, “Welcome!”.
Focus on High-Traffic Areas
Direct your attention to high-traffic zones like the living room and kitchen, where daily activities and interactions occur. Streamline these spaces by decluttering and employing an all-purpose cleaner to swiftly sanitize surfaces, ensuring they remain both clean and welcoming. If you opt for Therapy Clean products, you can enjoy an added wellness boost - each of our thoughtful formulas are infused with essential oils, creating a serene atmosphere and helping you stay present and grounded, even if you feel rushed by the impending arrival of visitors.
Quick Kitchen Cleanup
The kitchen merits special attention. When entertaining, it invariably becomes a natural gathering spot, as guests gravitate towards the hostess with offers of assistance, or a desire to chat. That’s why we recommend taking the time to concentrate on clearing countertops, wiping down surfaces, and promptly addressing sink and stove cleanliness to maintain a pristine appearance. Therapy Clean's effective plant-based Granite & Stone cleaner is the perfect way to combat grease and grime without resorting to harsh chemicals, ensuring your kitchen remains not only hygienic but also inviting and food-safe.
Make the Bathroom Presentable
While a deep clean may not be necessary, presenting a tidy bathroom to guests is a must. Wipe down the sink, faucet, and toilet surfaces to ensure a fresh and hygienic space. Add a touch of freshness by displaying a clean hand towel and offering scented soap, elevating the ambiance and ensuring guests feel comfortable and welcomed. One of our favorite ways to ensure the freshest possible space? Leave an extra spritz of our Tub & Tile cleaner in a clean toilet bowl for a bright note of citrus in the space!
Refresh Your Furniture and Floors
Revitalize your living spaces by paying attention to major surfaces like furniture and floors. Vacuum or sweep main areas and—if time allows—mop hard floors for quick rejuvenation. This will remove dust and dirt to create a clean and inviting environment. Use a damp cloth and a Wood & Cabinet Cleaner to wipe down furniture, restoring its natural luster. No time for all that? No problem! If you only have two minutes, grab the vacuum and give fabric furniture a quick once-over, especially if you have pets. Removing hair and debris alone does wonders when you're pressed for time but eager to make a welcoming presentation!
Set the Mood with Aromatherapy
Crafting a warm and inviting atmosphere extends beyond mere cleanliness—it also involves setting the tone and ambiance for the evening. When you opt for Therapy Clean products, the power of aromatherapy goes a long way by infusing your home with delightful scents, elevating the entire experience for your guests, while boosting your own mood in the process.
Wrapping Up
With these efficient cleaning strategies and the help of Therapy Clean’s plant-based cleaning products, you can prepare your home for guests quickly and with confidence, knowing that there are no toxic residues or harsh chemicals in your space. So focus on the high-traffic areas, lean into the power of aromatherapy, and remember - your guests are visiting because they want to spend time with you. Of course, you want your space to be welcoming, but it’s most important to be present and feel great - an ethos we live by here at Therapy Clean!
