Unexpected guests stopping by? Been too busy to clean? With 15 minutes and a few key products, it’s easy to fake clean a house. Read on to learn how.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Vacuum
• Paper Towels
• Glass Cleaner

1. Remove clutter quickly. Put dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Stack magazines in neat piles. Clean off as many surfaces as possible.

2. Speed dust. Don’t bother dusting high shelves or under electronics. Focus on the surfaces that are easily seen. Use glass cleaner to wipe down sinks and counters.

3. Vacuum all floors. Freshly cleaned rugs can make a room feel much more clean. Make sure to get the dust bunnies in the corners.

4. Make the bed. Even if the sheets are dirty, fluffed pillows and neatly folded blankets will help a bedroom seem tidy.

Tips & Warnings

• Close closet doors. What you don’t have time to organize you can hide.
• Light a candle. A nice smell can give the appearance of a clean room.
