Fake A Clean House In Just 20 Minutes

Who has the energy to keep a spotless home? Not us! Here’s how you can 'fake clean' a house... just don’t open the cupboards after!

Short on time? Between the demands of work, the kids, and a partner, there’s little chance you’ll want to spend your free time cleaning. And nobody’s home is immaculate 100% of the time, right? If you have unexpected guests, all you need is 20 minutes to give the illusion of a clean and tidy home. Shhhh... they’ll never know!

Bathroom

The loo is probably the one room in your house where your guests are left unsupervised – eek!

Everyone knows how tempting it can be to go through someone’s vanity cabinet. If yours is a tip, take everything but the bare essentials and shove it into the laundry basket – nobody’s going to look in there!

Shower curtain? You’ve bought yourself an extra storage area.

Shake the bath mat into the tub or shower, then rinse away – it will look freshly vacuumed.

Forget scrubbing taps; slice your prep time in half by giving them a once-over with a lemon wedge, then simply wipe with a damp cloth.
