House cleaning before visitors

Been going mad here this morning cleaning before we have visitors this afternoon, perfectly clean but lived in before I started but I always feel the need to spring clean before anyone arrives ! Am I alone in this daft obsession or do others have this compulsion too ?

Go that extra bit I guess, but we're pretty neat anyway .....
Good luck gal x

Good way to get your house in order. My sisters give my own house a real going over if my aunts decide to stay. I also pull my finger out to make sure the place is pretty clean and tidy when I have visitors arriving. Amazes me how quickly I can trash the place.

I used to do a bit of house cleaning when I was at Uni..

My boss said ''Nothing makes me clean up better than when I know the cleaner's coming''

Tell me about it Julie.
We are clean and tidy but if we are having visitors we go mad too!
Things get put away in drawers, never to be found again - like my hair cutting scissors, packets of seeds or next weeks shopping list.

Re: House cleaning before visitors

No problem here, we ask our visitors to wipe their feet on the way out.....

Re: House cleaning before visitors

I say visitors come to see us not our house. It still doesn't stop me doing a bit of tidying up though before they arrive.

Re: House cleaning before visitors

Visitors are not encouraged here
My house is always clean and tidy and I don't want visitors coming and messing it up

Re: House cleaning before visitors

Always keep it tidy anyway but I do have a quick spruce up when we have visitors, not encouraged though with my OCD. I prefer to go to theirs!!

I worked at a really posh house..white mink coats thrown on the floor..white poodles lifting their legs and pee-ing all over them..
