Whether you’re expecting sudden guests or you just want to tidy up your home despite the busy schedule, these five-minute tricks are all you need until you get the next chance to properly clean.
Adjust the Light
If it’s daytime, raise the blinds, open the curtains, and get that natural light in. If it’s evening, dim the lights and turn on a few corner lamps and turn off overhead lights. Candles are also a great touch.
Express Declutter
Though it’s not exactly following the rules of decluttering, you can dump all the mess you don’t want to see right now in the nearest drawer for a quick fix.
Straighten Furniture
Make sure your tables, chairs, an everything else are properly aligned for an instant feeling of order in your home.
Necessary Cleaning
If your rug acts like a dust bunny magnet, take a minute to vacuum it. A small, portable vacuum is a life saver in these situations.
Nice Smelling Home
If you light a scented candle, the smell will quickly spread around the room. You can also use plug-in air fresheners or those that come in spray bottles.
