The Ultimate Party Hosting Hack – Best Maid Service in Toronto
If you’re here to learn about the ultimate party hosting hack, you’re in the right place. Though the hack is definitely not a secret, it tends to get looked over all too often. As the season of dinners, potlucks and celebrations descends on us, remember that your loved ones are grateful for you sacrificing your home. They know how stressful it is to put on an event, so cut yourself some slack when it comes to being perfect! However, did you know that clean environments make guests more comfortable? Think about it! With minimal but effective cleaning, there are a few easy things you can do to ensure that your guests have the best time possible! So get those gloves on!
Ultimate Hosting Hack: The Comfort of Clean
When you welcome your guests into a clean environment, they’ll feel instantly more comfortable, because it will feel like they’re in good hands. So, to make your home as comfortable as possible, it’s important to take those small extra steps that go a long way. For instance, if your living in a small space, you probably don’t have a whole lot of extra storage for people’s coats. However, you should clean out whatever space you do plan on using. Whether that’s the bench beside your front door, your front hall closet, or a spare bedroom! A spotless welcome will set the tone for a good party.
Hack Tip #1: The Bathroom
Similar to the coat room, most guests will be using your bathroom. So go into your bathroom and try to see your it with fresh eyes. Clear away any clutter or kitschy object lying around. However, there’s no need to go crazy! As long as the sink and toilet get cleaned before crunch time, you’re in the green. Lastly, make sure there is ample toilet paper in clear view! There’s nothing worse than a guest calling from the bathroom in need of some TP.
Hack Tip #2: The Kitchen
Unfortunately, you probably don’t have swinging doors to keep guests out of your high-stress kitchen. To avoid any emotions of dread or anxiety night-of, spruce up your kitchen a little by wiping down the fridge! You’ll feel much better about guests going in there for drinks or condiments throughout the night. In addition, if you feel self-conscious about the state of affairs inside your fridge, take a few moments to throw out anything expired. You cold even go the extra mile and organize a little bit! With some attention, your fridge will be Cribs ready in no time.
Hack Tip #3: The Social Space
When it comes to general cleanliness, light vacuuming in the designated ‘social area’ is always a good idea. Especially if you have pets that shed. No one loves to go out for the night and come home covered in another pet fur! Additionally while you’re vacuuming, make sure to get all the crumbs and debris that have accumulated from your day-to-day life. You want your guests to feel comfortable walking around in their socks!
After you’ve vacuumed, get all your cushions and decorative pillows in order and fold your blankets! Remember, making the room clean also makes it warm and inviting. So clear away any clutter! Don’t even about where you’re going to put it. Instead, employ the “deal with it later motto”. For now, it doesn’t really matter where the clutter goes, as long as it’s out of eye sight when your guests arrive. Plus, you’ll have to move the clutter out of the hiding spots later, which will give you more incentive to deal with it properly. Unless it’s not actually clutter…
Hack Tip #4: The Smell-Scape
If you have a little time feel free to add a little scent to spice up the ambience! That means you can add some fresh flowers, candles or aromatherapy to make your space more enchanting. In fact, freshening up the smell of your home may be more important than you think. Like the Febreze commercials have taught us, it’s easy to go “nose-blind” in the place you live day to day. However, a spritz of air freshener or a scented candle will cleanse that smell in the short term. Of course, you have to do a little more than Febreze to really clean the air in your home.
Of course, there’s more to being a good host than cleaning! However, wouldn’t you prefer to walk into a freshly cleaned house when you go to a dinner party? There’s really nothing like a spending the evening in a space you feel comfortable in. Remember, this isn’t the time to go to town on home repairs. Your guests won’t care about that. They just care about the things that will affect them during the 2 hours they’re in your home, and that’s all you should care about too! And remember, if you’re just too tired to clean after a week of celebrations, there’s no shame in calling a cleaning service. In fact, Maid4Condos is having a holiday promotion all December long!
