FQuick pre-party cleaning tricks
or many of us, this is the best time of the year to spend with friends,family
and lots of food.The weather has turned colder and we’re ready to invite guests over to eat, laugh and make new memories for the new year.
Let’s face it, because you spend more time indoors this time of year, you’re also probably a bit more anxious when it comes to keeping the house tidy and making sure you’re keeping yourself and your guests healthy. So, what’s the best approach to cleaning up before your get- together starts?
You’ve likely heard this be- fore, but it’s true: Clean only what your guests see.There’s no need to push all your fur- niture into the middle of the room to clean your base- boards or grab those dust bunnies from underneath the china cabinet. Of course, you want the guest bathroom to be shipshape, as well as a few of the following areas, before guests arrive.

Home is where the oven is
Most people like to mingle in the kitchen, so you want it to smell like all your wonder- ful food, not harsh chemicals. While you might be tempted to clean every inch of the kitchen, keep it simple and remember to clean as you go,
especially during food prep. From raw cookie dough to chicken wings, you want to be careful not to cross-con- taminate surfaces, so disinfect and clean those food-prep areas often, including cut- ting boards. (Use a product like PURELL® Multi Surface Disinfectant, which contains
no harsh chemicals.) Don’t let those dirty mixing bowls pile up, either.
The hangouts
After the kitchen, you probably know where your guests will gravitate.
