Exceptional hospitality can come through in a lot of ways, but it most definitely starts with a clean space. And while cleaning might not be the most fun part of hosting, it doesn\u2019t have to be difficult! Here are a few tips and tricks to help you get swept up in an effective and easy cleaning routine.<\/p>\n

Focus on the trouble spots<\/strong>
\nFirst things first: Give extra attention to the most important areas of cleanliness. Those would be the kitchen and the bathrooms. If you offer your guests space in the refrigerator, give it a thorough cleaning. And if you make a point to keep all of the condiments and other items nicely organized, your guest will be encouraged do the same.<\/p>\n

Make room for your guests\u2019 things<\/b>
\nWe certainly love our tchotchkes, but too much of a good thing may look like clutter to a visitor. In addition to keeping your space clean, it\u2019s important to keep it tidy. Your guests may not want to live out of their suitcase for their whole stay, so you can offer them space to put out their toiletries and personal items on a shelf or nightstand. You can also offer your guests room for their clothes and larger items in a closet or dresser.<\/p>\n

Pay attention to details<\/b>
\nOnce you\u2019ve gotten your space clean and ready for your next guest, check the details:<\/p>\n
