Real Simple offers several tips for the most common disaster areas. Here are a few select clutter and dirt-hiding suggestions:
- In the living room, for example, flip the couch cushions to show a cleaner side and stack books and magazines in neat piles or in a decorative basket. (Baskets are awesome for making clutter seem organised.)
- In the kitchen, hide dirty dishes and utensils in a stockpot (if you have no room in your dishwasher).
- Put bathroom clutter in a container under the sink or, if you’re desperate, in the tub with the shower curtain closed.
- In the office, hide stray notes and post-its under the keyboard.
- Stash kids toys in a play tent.
