If you’ve ever been in a situation when someone calls and tells you they will be at your place in an hour without a previous announcement—and it’s someone you really care about and can’t stand up—you know how annoying it can be. Even more, if your home is a mess and you need to do something about it quickly. Here’s what you can do about it.

Take Out the Trash

Take a big empty bag and go through your home throwing out everything that belongs in the trash. Take it out together with anything you may have in the bin already.

Clean the Bathroom

A dirty bathroom is something you should tackle immediately. Do your quickest routine and at least deal with the toilet, sink, and shower. Take out spare toilet paper and check if the soap dispenser is full.

Deal With the Dishes

Wash the dishes or load the dishwasher and clean the sink. Make sure nothing in the kitchen smells funny.

Declutter

Go around your home and put everything back to its place. Take dirty clothes to the laundry bin. Wipe the coffee table and plump the cushions.
