To be honest I have never been the tidy and neat type of person, and that is why speed cleaning has saved me so many times. I have a lot of friends that keep their houses and apartments spotless and if I drop by any one of their homes at any time I will find them sparkling clean. On the other hand, if they dropped on me unexpectedly the scenario would be totally different. I am pretty sure that they would probably have to move magazines and clothes out of the way to find a place to sit down. They will also stumble upon my dog and cat.

That is the main reason why, they have learned my only rule, to give me a call in advance, no more than an hour warning. This way I can make sure that my home will be at least acceptable for guests.

You might ask, how I transform a really messy house into a house that would pass an inspection? I call the process speed cleaning, and will work miracles with the mess in the house. Here are some tips that I read in a magazine and I chose the most useful ones, that will help you to deal effectively with the cleaning.

The first thing that you need to do is to grab a big container, such as a empty box, launder basket or even a large plastic bag will work. After that you need to make a quick swoop throughout each room, be careful not to miss one. While doing that close any doors that will not be used by guests, like bedrooms and extra bathrooms.

Your main objective is to get rid of clutter, now is the time to be ruthless, remember that clutter can make even the cleanest home look messy and untidy. You need to throw everything that looks messy into the box or the bag. Look all over the house and search for pens scattered on the desk or the floor and books thrown on the hall table. Collect everything that makes the room to look cluttered. Put everything in the box and you can go through it later, when you have free time, this is the best advice given by experts at http://cleanersecrets.com.au/. Do not histate to ask for help.

The next step is to move through the rooms where the quests will be invited and empty all of the waste baskets. Collect all empty Coke cans, junk mail, snack and chips bags, or other clutter that is thrown all over the room. You need to deal with all of the things and items that are not at their places. Put them into the box or put them back where they belong. In the end of this task you need to hide very well the box and the bag, you can use one of the rooms that are with closed doors.

Then comes the bathroom, you never know if it will be used so you need to be prepared. If you have throw a denture tablet into the toilet bowl or if you do not have it then you can use a can of Coca-Cola, yes I have read it correctly, pour the liquid into the toilet bowl and shut it, do not flush for now. In case that you do not have cola the last possible option is to use full-strength vinegar, pour one cup into the toilet bowl and use the toilet brush to scrub a little, then flush thoroughly.

Spray the bathtubs, sink, facets and all other bathroom fixtures that need to be cleaned. You can also spray the toilet seat and outside the toilet bowl.
