7. Storage Baskets
Strategically place baskets in each room of your house to quickly clean up piles of clutter like library books, shoes, mail, or toys. It’s easy to fly around the house at the last minute and throw everything in baskets.
8. Pin it
Paper of all kinds threaten to take over our households daily. Pin the ones you need to keep on a decorative bulletin board as a quick go-to for important information or a last minute landing ground for those pesky piles.
9. Swoop Bag
What to do with all those LEGOS on the floor? Scoop them up in seconds with a Swoop Bag. The bag lays flat while you throw in your son’s collection of tiny trinkets. With a drawstring at the top to cinch it shut, it’s the perfect quick clean up solution (at the same time protecting your guests’ feet from a tiny toy attack).

10. Candles
Last, but not least, in your arsenal of fake-clean weapons: candles. Lighting candles is one of the simplest ways to create an inviting mood in your home. They create a sense of warmth and give your home a fragrant smell that will mask any unwelcome smells that may be lurking.
