Having a party in your home can be fun but also stressful so here are a few ideas to help alleviate some of that stress.

First thing to do is to look at the area’s you intend your guests to be using. Then decide as to what you need to remove to keep them from getting damaged, your home is full of keepsakes that you would not like to be broken or lost. These can be put safely into a room your guests will not use.

With that done, you need to cover your soft furniture that you would like to protect. Then give the room a good clean this should include hovering and dusting. Then you need to make sure all the polished surfaces are covered with drink mats and covers that will protect them from glass marks.

Make sure you have plenty of ashtrays around if you are going to let your guests smoke in your home. If you and your family don’t smoke you may want to ask them to go outside into the garden to smoke, again make sure you have ashtrays out there and also a metal bin they can empty these into when they are full. Make sure there are plenty of waste bins around so they can put any used beer tins or bottles into them. This will save some time for you later when you have to put your home back to the way it was. Make sure the outdoor space is clean. Place chairs and tables for them to use. It would be nice if they can hear the music outside so maybe move a speaker outside.

With that done, your kitchen will need to be cleaned and ready for any food that is going to be prepared in there, also clear out any unwanted food out of your fridge so you have the space for the party food. It would be a good idea to have cooler boxes to store your drinks in or maybe another fridge.

Buy paper or plastic plates if it is a buffet style meal and plastic cutlery as this always helps when the party is over in cleaning up, also there won’t be as much washing up for you to do. If it is a sit down meal make sure all your tableware and glassware are clean, the cutlery is clean and polished as this always looks good.

Then all should go well and you can enjoy the party and maybe be the talk of your friends for giving a good party.

Enjoy your party.

Always be methodical in your approach to cleaning. Pick a task or two that you know you will be able to complete within the time available or can abandon easily if necessary. Even if you only do a few minutes here and there, you will start to notice the difference in time. It is very important to keep your home clean and free from waste food to keep unwanted vermin away. If you follow the advice given below, you will have no problems working towards achieving this.

Waste food should be disposed of in waste bins. These should be empty daily to your outside bin. It is also not a good idea to leave food on worktops; these should be covered or placed in the refrigerator. Food can also be placed in airtight containers and place in your cupboards. When your worktops are cleared you can disinfect them with a good cleaning product. This is good to do last thing at night before you retire to bed, so you know all germs will be killed while you sleep.

The above also applies to all rooms in your home, clean away snacks you may have been having while watching television. Don’t take food to bed as this will encourage mice into your bedroom.

Clothes need to be put into wash bins when they are dirty and hung in wardrobes or put in drawers when they’re clean, as mice will use these to make bedding for their homes that they are making in your home. Clutter is always a good hiding place for mice and other vermin so keep your home inside and out free from this.

Keeping your outside space is also important to keep clean and tidy. No food rubbish to be left around your outside bin area. If you have pets keep their food bowls clean and make sure there is no food left lying around them.

If this is done, you should find you have a vermin free home.

So let’s list what we need to do.

Clean up any food straight away.

Put all food away in fridge or airtight containers.

Don’t take food to bed.

Empty bins daily.

Wash worktops and floors with good disinfectant.

Keep floor clear and clean.

Hope you have a mice free home.
