Simple Hacks to Prep Your Home for Company
Hosting season is here. Is your home ready?

A well-prepared home helps set a relaxed tone for the day. These simple deep cleaning tips help you tackle the most noticeable areas fast. And when you want every surface spotless, Professional Edge Cleaning’s deep cleaning service can do the heavy lifting for you.

Start with Fans and Light Fixtures

Sanitize High-Traffic Surfaces

Refresh the Kitchen
- Cabinet doors: Wipe away grease and fingerprints with warm soapy water, then dry immediately.
- Stove and hood: Sprinkle baking soda over greasy areas, spritz with vinegar, and let it fizz before wiping clean.
- Sink and faucet: Rub with half a lemon to dissolve water spots and leave a bright, citrus scent.

Make Bathrooms Guest-Ready
- Spray grout with a baking soda and hydrogen peroxide mix, wait 10 minutes, and scrub gently.
- Wipe mirrors with a damp microfiber cloth and dry with a second one for streak-free shine.
- Drop a denture cleaning tablet in the toilet bowl for quick fizzing power that lifts stains while you tidy up elsewhere.

Save the Floors for Last
Dust falls downward, so begin with ceilings and light fixtures. Use a pillowcase to trap dust from ceiling fan blades instead of letting it scatter across the room. Wipe lampshades, bulbs, and glass covers with a damp microfiber cloth or duster to remove the dull film that builds up over time. A clean light fixture instantly brightens the room and makes the rest of your home feel more open.
Before guests arrive, focus on the items everyone touches: doorknobs, drawer handles, light switches, and railings. These surfaces collect oils, dust, and germs quickly, especially when family and friends gather in large groups. Combine water and vinegar in a spray bottle, mist lightly, and wipe clean. For stainless steel finishes, a touch of olive oil will polish away fingerprints for a streak-free shine.
The kitchen sees the most traffic during Thanksgiving. These quick tasks go a long way in revitalizing your cooking and entertaining spaces.
You can transform a bathroom in under 30 minutes. A clean, bright bathroom tells guests you’ve thought of every detail.
After you’ve worked from top to bottom, vacuum slowly and overlap passes for the most thorough result. On hard floors, a few drops of essential oil in mop water can give your home a subtle, welcoming scent.
