1. Think about first impressions and organize your entryway first! Guests will remember tripping over shoes the moment they walk in, so hide them away in a closet or keep a compact shoe tower rack around to organize your kicks in a pinch.
2. Dust strategically, prioritizing surfaces your guests are most likely to see. Unlike the disposable version you constantly need to restock, these reusable Swiffer duster heads will always be around when you need to give your place a quick sprucing.
3. Tidy your TV if you'll be spending time in the living room with a screen cleaner kit that'll erase any trace of the smudges your toddler made trying to make contact with Peppa Pig through the screen.
4. Take out the trash with tear-resistant 13-gallon bags so your house doesn't reek of 3-day-old delivery remnants. Plus, these bags are super tough so you don't have to worry about them tearing and making an even bigger mess.
5. Refresh your toilet with eucalyptus cleaning bombs for an eco-friendly way to get the job done quicker! Just plop a tablet in the toilet and watch it dissolve with all the bubbling pomp and circumstance of a bath bomb.

Promising review: "The eucalyptus is strong and it fizzes nicely. I drop one in once or twice a week and scrub the toilet a bit, and the scent lingers after flushing. Perfect for keeping my bathroom fresh!" —kd Bromley
