1–2 minutes

Last-minute guests? No panic—just a plan. Here’s how to fake a spotless house in 15 minutes flat, using natural methods that actually work.

1. Trash Patrol
Do a fast sweep for trash—wrappers, receipts, cups—and toss it. Prioritize the living room, bathroom, and kitchen.

2. Fluff & Fold
Straighten pillows and fold throw blankets. It instantly makes the space feel cared for—even if it’s not clean-clean.

3. Floor Clutter? Hide It
Anything on the floor goes into a laundry basket. Shoes, toys, rogue socks—whatever. Toss it in, shut the closet door.

4. Bathroom Blitz

  • Wipe the toilet seat and rim (yes, the rim—don’t skip it).
  • Stock toilet paper and hand soap.
  • Hang a fresh hand towel.
  • Spray the mirror, sink, faucet, and counter with glass cleaner and wipe it down.

5. Declutter the Counters
Shove your countertop chaos aside. Rearrange a few key items nicely. You just need some open space—enough for a guest to set a drink, purse, or their phone.

6. Spritz the Air
Mix up a DIY air freshener:

  • Water
  • A few drops of your favorite essential oil (lavender, orange, eucalyptus)
  • A splash of rubbing alcohol to help it evaporate evenly
    Spray lightly around the room—not too much, just enough to say “clean” without screaming “cover-up.”

Done. Relax. Light a candle if you’re feeling fancy. You’re ready.
