Kick the kids out for the day, and start by dusting you wooden furniture, clean the windows. then vacum, sweep, mop etc for the floor last.
buy martha stewart's book the Homekeeping Handbook.
What I would do is clean the rooms first that your guests won't be using much, then closer to the party clean the rooms where your guests will be. You can always do some picking up in between, but if you clean the bigger stuff closer to your party then it will maybe stay cleaner that way if that makes sense to you.
Everyone can help to get this done. Start by picking things up and puting them away. Don't worry about dishes and floors until kids are a sleep. Clean restroom before taking a shower. I hope this helps.
Hello Tammy, This the best way I know how to get your house in order, First explain to the children you are trying to have the house nice for your party, have them play only in one room and not all the house. It´s really you that makes the rules, so stick to what you say and they will play in the one room. So next pick a room you wish to clean. Set your alarm clock to go off in 15, min´s time. See how much you can achieve, Never take things back to their rightful homes , put them next to the door & you take them back when you have finished, Once the time is up you can sit down and have a rest or if you feel like carring on with room ,do the same again set the clock for another 15 min´s. Trust me you will be surprised at how much you can do in the short time. Just remember when ever you finish the job you are doing , reward yourself, even if you don´t finish all . A nice cup of tea/coffee,put your feet up. also a good idea is to put your washing machine on at night, like this your clothes are ready to hang outside or pop into the dryer. Then you pop another load in. I remember before doing the 15 min´s cleaning here and there, having a party with 30 people coming to eat . I could never get around the load´s of washing, so Keep this to yourself, I put all the dirty clothes I had no time to wash ,in a plastic black bag & put them in the garage , then washed them all the next day.So try the 15 min´s , it works for me me
The way I clean my house I start in my bedrooms. Take each room one at a time. Also as you clean you put the things that don't belong in your room in their rightful place. Then the bathrooms, kitchen, and then the living, dining, and den area since those need less work. Then I clean and dust my walls, panels, cabinets, celing fans, furniture, etc... After all of that I take my broom and clean out the corners and edges my vaccum can't reach. The final thing I do is vaccum the entire house and I am done.
