The holidays are approaching and the house must shine? Here is a quick and effective action plan to welcome your guests in a welcoming and festive atmosphere, even with a tight schedule. A method applicable in 15 minutes, invented by the influencer Lynsey Queen Of Clean which guarantees a fresh and warm interior, without stress.
We don’t teach you anything, between the gifts to wrap, the shopping to finish and the meal to plan, it’s difficult to find time to polish your home. However, there is no question of letting the mess ruin the atmosphere. So, with a little method and a lot of pragmatism, you may be able to clean your house in record time. Follow the steps and above all, involve the whole family: every second counts.
Start by removing the mess (estimated time: 3 minutes). Take a quick tour of each room where your guests will spend the most time. Take a basket or a large bag to collect everything that is lying around. Don’t waste time sorting: place everything in a room where no one will go or in a cupboard.
Then take a look at the bathroom (estimated time: 2 minutes). Your guests will probably check it out, so let it shine. With a cloth and cleaning spray, quickly wipe down the sink and mirror to remove traces of toothpaste or water. Change the towel to a clean one and, if possible, opt for a version with a festive pattern or color. Check the toilets: a quick brush if necessary and that’s it. For a pleasant scent, a few drops of essential oil on a roll of toilet paper hidden around the room will work wonders.
Then, refresh your surfaces (estimated time 3 minutes). Take a microfiber cloth or duster and dust visible areas. Don’t waste time with the top of the bookcases, no one will think to look up. Remember to open the window during this step for quick ventilation.
Also make sure to polish your floors (estimated time: 5 minutes). A clean floor immediately gives the impression of a tidy house. Vacuum high traffic areas. Focus on visible surfaces without moving furniture.
Finally, add a festive touch (estimated time: 2 minutes). Finish with a few details that will transform your home into a Christmas cocoon. Arrange scented candles with winter scents. Place a Christmas wreath on the door or a decorative bouquet on the table. If you have string lights, hang them around a frame or window for a warm ambiance.
If you followed all the steps, congratulations! Your home is ready to welcome your guests, so break out the champagne and enjoy your holiday celebrations.
