Small Tasks to Create Big Impressions

When you’re going around your house cleaning, picking up, and taking the trash out, sometimes you forget to do the smaller things that really stick out to guests. Whether you’re hosting some sort of party, having a family gathering, or you just want to impress your spouse, we’ve compiled a list of easy-to-accomplish tasks that take little time yet leave quite a lasting impression on who you are as a homeowner. Check out our list of those tasks below.

Clean your windows

Possibly the easiest task of all of these, having windows that seem, well, seamless isn’t so much as a noticeable thing as it is removing noticeable smudges. If your windows or glass doors are riddled with smear marks and smudges, they’re quite glaring and unsightly. But, if your screen door causes people to accidentally run into it because they don’t realize it’s there, you’re cleaning your windows and glass right.

Prepare tables

Whether or not you use certain centerpieces on your tables isn’t a concern of yours or your guests. The thing is, you still want them to look nice, made up, and decorated. It’s as simple as throwing down some table runners or placemats, having a focal point in the centerpiece, and making sure everything is neat, tidy, and in order. Again, no one cares if you’re actually hosting a dinner or any food. The entire point is for everything to look nice and acceptable. It’ll stand out for sure.

Mop floors

Having a floor with natural sunlight glinting off of it in the day speaks volumes to your attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile. While sometimes we neglect our floors and they don’t necessarily show smudges or pet hair, you’re able to tell when it is mopped and cleaned well, because the luster causes your flooring to gleam like nothing else.

Clean sinks and toilets

Most average toilet bowls and sinks are white porcelain, meaning they show just about everything possible. Rather than having some unsightly marks in your toilet bowl or sludge build-up around your sink, you’d probably be better off taking half an hour to scrub the porcelain in your bathrooms so that everything is spotless, shining, and perfect. A clean bathroom makes others feel more at home and relaxed, by the way. Don’t make them shudder at your home when they have to use the restroom. Make them feel at peace.
