Preparing for Visitors: A Checklist

I have company coming this weekend. As such, I thought it would be a good time to point out the things you should do to prepare for people coming to your house/apartment/trailer. Here’s a simple checklist that anyone can go through to make sure the big things are covered.

  • Vacuum the floors
  • Clean the toilet
  • Clean the mirrors in the bathroom
  • Remove incriminating items from the bathroom counter top
  • Scrub the stovetop
  • Put away dishes and clean dirty ones
  • Make the bed
  • Hide dirty clothes
  • Stash personal financial information
  • Clear the table so that dinner can be served easily
  • Replace the toilet paper with a fresh roll
  • Mop if you have one
  • Arrange your bookshelf
  • Turn on the air conditioning (or heat) to bring the temperature to 72 degrees F

So that about sums it up I think. Pay attention to your surrounding and attempt to replace the things that seem like they’re somewhere they shouldn’t belong. Good luck on entertaining your guests!
