Cleaning is never a fun chore, but when you need to clean for a party it can be even more stressful. Stick to these core areas and tasks and you’ll be able to spend less time cleaning and more time with family and friends.
Guest Bathroom
Pay attention to the bathroom that will be used by guests. You can save your master bathroom for another day. Start by cleaning and disinfecting the commode and end with clean towels. Refill your liquid soap dispenser or put out a new bar. Remove dust and dirt from countertops and the mirror with a good wipe down. Skip the bathtub scrub unless you’re hosting overnight guests. This can save you time.
Finally, as you work from top to bottom, give the floors a good sweep and consider replacing your bathmats with a fresh set.
Entryway
A few moments spent tidying your entry or porch can give a good first impression, which helps guests believe that you’ve spent an entire day cleaning. Sweep away any dirt and put out the boot trays out for shoes. Clear away mail piles and hang up any coats on their hooks or in the closet. Give the entryway closet a clear out to make room for guests’ coats if needed. 
Entertaining Areas
It’s time to tackle the entertaining areas. For a fast solution, just focus on areas that will be seen and used like bookshelves, the mantel, the coffee table, and the bar. Take two minutes to place books and magazines away and make your home appear neater and more organized. For TVs that are housed in a media center or hung up high, you can skip the wipe down since the top won’t be seen. Chill wine and beer as needed and get the ice bucket ready.
New Sheets
Make your home cozier and give your guest bed a new look. New sheets, in a soft flannel fabric and a soothing print, are perfect for creating a. And a clean bed is a great way to greet tired guests. Put extra blankets and quilts out if you’d like. For Murphy beds, pull down the bed and spread out the sheets and blankets as items may have been slightly compressed in the cabinet. Fluffing up the bed is a great way to welcome any visitor.
