If you have ever found yourself caught off guard by visitors to your home, than this one is for you. I have also done the same at the last minute when surprised by the unexpected guest. You know the one where you shove items into cabinets and drawers. There might be some personal items around the bedroom such as luxury corsets which are for your eyes only and not those of unexpected guests. You have problems keeping your bedroom tidy there are some good tips here. All of this is in an attempt to conceal unfolded laundry, unfiled receipts and even unwashed dishes from time to time.

Well, if you are truly interested in avoiding this impromptu performance, I highly recommend browsing the cleaning section of the online Martha Stewart Living Magazine. She has outlined a ritualistic approach to home cleaning from top to bottom.

By following even one third of her somewhat obsessive practices you should be proud to welcome anyone who shows up at your door out of the blue. Even if that person is your insipid mother in law and her malicious white glove test, you are ready. Sure, there is some initial work involved, and organization to be installed, but oh how gratifying.
