Professional residential cleaners are no stranger to the stress and anxiety that many people feel when they have company come to visit. The stress of getting the house perfect can seem overwhelming. These simple tips will help you begin the process a week out so that you can be relaxed when friends and family arrive.

• Professional residential cleaners suggestions for one week prior to arrival: This is the time to do some of the larger tasks that will be easy for you to maintain until your guests arrive. Clean out the fridge so that there is plenty of room for the additional food you will need to have in stock for your visitors. Wash the linens and clean up the closet in the guest room. You can make a little space for them to put away clothes if they are staying for an extended period. Make sure you have enough toiletries and towels for the guest bathroom. Purchase anything you may not have enough of.
• Two to three days before arrival: If you do not feel like doing the maintenance work yourself this would be a good time to schedule an appointment with professional residential cleaners. Take on the common areas of your home, do a declutter of the kitchen and living room and any other shared areas. Put away anything that you do not want out when company arrives. Dust the mirrors and furniture.
• 1 day before: Now is the time to get to the nitty gritty. Clean the guest bathroom and put out the guest towels. If you have pets give them a good brush. This will help prevent shedding after you do your final clean the next day. Clean out any litter boxes if you have cats.

• The Big Day: Now that it is time for guests to arrive all the hard work has been done, congratulations! Take out the trash from all areas of the home. Do a quick sweep or vacuum of the common areas and you are ready to relax and enjoy some much needed time with family and friends.
