Guest Ready in 15 Minutes

They texted that they are nearby. Do these, in this order.

The order matters more than the effort. Guests see the entry, the bathroom and wherever they sit. Nobody has ever inspected my linen closet.

The sheet, in text

• 2 min: Grab a laundry basket. Everything that does not belong goes in. The basket goes in a closet.
• 3 min: Entry. Shoes paired, coats hung. Clear one hook for theirs.
• 4 min: Bathroom. Wipe sink and tap, close the lid. Fresh towel, empty bin.
• 4 min: Where they will sit. Clear the coffee table. Straighten cushions, fold the throw.
• 2 min: Kitchen sink. Dishes into the dishwasher. Wipe the one counter they can see.

Skip: bedrooms, floors, anything behind a door.

What I would actually use for this

Do the sheet first. If you still need something afterwards, these are the ones from my own shortlist that fit this job.
