When your home is a mess and there are only a few minutes left before guests arrive, here are a few life hacks that will help you avoid turning red.

The first thing you should do is air out the rooms to let some fresh air into the house and get rid of any unpleasant odors (if any).

While the window sashes are open, head to the hallway, pick up the rug and shake it well. Alternatively, use a vacuum cleaner, which will remove sand and dirt.

To avoid wasting precious time washing dishes, fill the sink with water and soak dirty mugs and plates in it. After such a bath, dirt will be much easier to wash off the dishes.

If books and magazines are scattered on the coffee table, take the time to stack them neatly.

The linear arrangement of objects will give those entering the room a sense of symmetry, which is associated with order.

Another important point is that it is better if the trash can is empty when guests arrive.

If you are planning a get-together in the kitchen, don't be lazy to replace the kitchen towels with fresh ones and brush away crumbs from the countertop. A clean tablecloth and a bouquet of flowers will help make the atmosphere more cozy.
