    So you get a call from company saying they want to stop over in a few hours and your house looks like a tornado went through it. Trust me I have been there but don’t panic because I am sharing some quick cleaning tips to help you get your house looking good before the guests arrive.

    Quick Cleaning Tips

    Throw Loose Articles in Baskets
    Gather all of your laundry baskets and throw any loose articles into the baskets to sort out later. Find a spot to store them such as a closet, under the bed, basement, etc. so they are out of plain sight.
