When you’re planning a party, you have a lot to worry about. Let us take one thing off your list. You know you’ll have to clean after the get together, so there is no need to deep clean beforehand.
However, if you still want to take the route of deep cleaning, then you should start by cleaning rain gutters. While it is understandable that cleaning indoor areas is necessary, you cannot deny that having an overflowing rain gutter can take away from the overall look of your house. Additionally, accumulated water leaked from the channels can also lead to the increased breeding of mosquitos and other insects. Who likes insects? Of course, not your visitors! That is why being in touch with experts (who can do the job as quickly as possible) can be a blessing for you. For getting in touch with them, you can write something like Clean Pro Gutter Cleaning Columbia (or any other location of your choice) on Google and find their contact information.
Anyway, in case you prefer cleaning the house thoroughly after the party then here are some easy tips to help get your house party-ready in 2-4 hours or less. This depends on how clean your house is!
1. Conquer the Kitchen
The kitchen is the heart of the home. So, even though it may not be the main entertainment area, it will be used for food prep and a secondary gathering area! Slow-moving or clogged drains could leave your guests with a very poor impression of you. This is one of the most important things you need to take care of. In case you notice that the drain is not working smoothly, try contacting drain cleaning services or repairing it yourself if you are a DIYer. When it comes to dishes, drying them on the counter can clutter an otherwise clean kitchen. When you’re unable to do much else, make sure the dishes are cleaned and put away (even just put in the dishwasher…that counts). Wipe the counters down with a wet cloth and empty the trash. If you have enough time before the party, you can consider getting a Commercial Hood Cleaning in Amarillo or a similar service provider who are more local you. Since these professionals are trained and certified to do proper commercial kitchen cleaning technique, they can do a better job at getting your kitchen ready for a fun clean party.
2. Bathroom Duty
The guest bathroom may take the longest if it needs a deep clean. Wipe down the counters, mirrors and glass surfaces, scrub in and around the toilet, mop the floors, and empty the trash last. You might consider surface cleaning the other bathrooms just in case more than one guest has an emergency at the same time. However, if you notice an unusual smell even after all the cleaning, or one of the toilets just won’t unclog, then you may have a more serious problem on your hands! Sometimes, water damage in the house can be hard to detect until you get down and dirty on the cleaning…so make sure that you are not faced with some serious water damage issues, or if you are, call in Oklahoma City Water Damage Restoration experts (or whoever else is closer to you) and get the problem fixed asap!
3.Watch Where You Walk
Clean floors make a big impact. Vacuum and mop in the areas which will be used by guests. Depending on how the weather has been, you may also consider sweeping the front porch or sidewalk for a more welcoming arrival. This will also help to keep the guests from accidentally tracking in a mess.
4. Clean Guest Bedroom
One area we often forget about cleaning are guest bedrooms. Since most guests aren’t likely to see these areas, they don’t seem like a major pre-cleaning concern. However, a guest room is a popular place for guests to leave their coats or purses, and it is highly likely that a guest will pass by a room or two on their way to the restroom.
5. Freshen the Air
A house that smells pleasant makes your guests feel welcomed. Here is a natural DIY recipe to make your house smell wonderful. #2 Vanilla and Orange Simmering Potpourri Recipe from Tipnut
