Because you shouldn’t be stuck scrubbing while everyone else is relaxing
Summer is for barbecues, sleepovers, long weekends and out-of-town visitors; and while hosting can be fun, the cleanup not so much.
The good news: with a smart post-guest routine and help from our professional MOLLY MAID service, cleaning up after guests doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Whether you’re hosting family for the weekend or friends for an evening get-together, this guide will help you reset your space quickly and calmly.
Guest Room Reset
Guests gone? Time to freshen up their space.
-
Wipe down surfaces like nightstands and lamps.
-
Open windows to air out the room and restore freshness.
-
Vacuum floors and under the bed to clear crumbs or dust that may have accumulated.
Pro Tip: Between visits, store fresh linens in a clean bin right inside the guest room closet. It’ll make future turnarounds even easier.
Kitchen & Dining Cleanup
The kitchen often sees the most action and the most mess.
-
Clear and wipe down countertops; don’t forget under appliances and around the sink.
-
Empty the dishwasher and reload with any lingering dishes.
-
Mop the floors, especially if there were spills or high foot traffic.
Consider booking a MOLLY MAID deep cleaning service if you’ve hosted multiple meals or large groups.
Living Room & Common Areas
From late-night chats to movie marathons, these spaces can take a beating.
-
Dust surfaces, including entertainment units and picture frames.
-
Vacuum or mop floors, especially rugs and high-traffic areas.
-
Tidy up any stray items that got left behind (toys, chargers, books).
