When preparing for a long visit by your mother and mother-in-law (or any VIP), don't forget these ten often-overlooked items:
- Launder the curtains
- Brush the crumbs from the cracks in the sofa
- Wipe the fingerprints off all the doors
- Remove coffee and wine stains from carpet
- Clean all the light switches
- Dust underneath the stereo components
- Scrub the mineral deposits from the shower fixtures
- Rub the scuff marks from the walls in the genkan
- Tidy up the cables and wires
- Wash the floor behind the toilet
11. Hide your belly lint collection
12. Don't forget to polish Mom's tiara ;)
What????
11. Have a latte, read a book and wear your sweats.
The moms just want to see their kids.
Behind the toilet? Really? There's a "behind the toilet???"
*runs to look*
WOO!! Last week a guest stayed with us. BUT I didn't anything of the list except no.10.
If you came to stay with us -- what shall I do?
Wot, Wot, Wot?? These items aren't a part of your weekly cleaning ritual?
*I have been so busy I still haven't unpacked from last week - my place looks like Tokyo was hit with the Niigata earthquakes.
BTW must see you to pass on the Aus omiyage. Have been carrying it around for days it seems.
