How to keep your home guest-ready all summer long

Summer is the season of garden parties, family BBQs, and weekends spent entertaining friends and family.


But while the sunshine and socialising are certainly welcome, keeping your home clean and inviting through it all is where things can get a little overwhelming.

If you've ever found yourself frantically scrubbing the bathroom 10 minutes before guests arrive, or lighting every candle in sight to mask that suspicious carpet smell, we're here to help.

Here's how to keep your home guest-ready all summer long, without all the usual stress, panic, or compromise.

Start with a Zerorez deep clean

Before we get into regular vacuuming and clever storage tricks, let's start with one of the easiest ways to make your summer cleaning effortless: booking a professional Zerorez clean before the summer gets into full swing.

Think of it like a reset button; a full deep clean of your carpets, upholstery, tiles, and grout gives your home a pristine, fresh foundation.

Our proprietary Zr Water technology delivers a sticky residue-free clean, meaning your carpets and surfaces won't attract dirt, dust, or odours like traditional cleaning products do.

This translates to longer-lasting results, fresher-smelling rooms, and far less maintenance for you as summer unfolds.

Best of all, it means you shouldn't need to spend your free time scrubbing when you could be soaking up the sunshine.

Focus on the floors

Naturally, your floors are one of the most used surfaces in your home. Therefore they are also one of the biggest culprits for trapping dirt, dust, pet hair, pollen, and unpleasant odours.

This is especially the case in the summer when people are constantly in and out of the house and windows are left open.

Carpets

Vacuum regularly, especially in high-traffic areas, but remember: vacuuming alone isn't enough to keep them properly clean, or remove embedded allergens or smells.

A professional Zerorez carpet clean lifts all the hidden debris and dries fast - typically within hours.

Tiles and grout

Kitchens, bathrooms, and hallway floors often look dull or stained thanks to grime that settles into grout lines.

Although it may result in a short-term visual improvement, mopping can be bad for your tiles and grout, so it's recommended to leave this to the professionals.

Unlike most other cleaning services, we use counter-rotating brushes and powerful rinse technology to deep clean tiles and reseal grout for added protection.

Keep hallways tidy

The front door and hallway is the first impression your guests will get, so keep it welcoming.

A small basket for shoes, a tray for keys, and a quick sweep of the mat will go a long way.

You could even consider buying a fresh doormat, or a plant or two to add charm and hide any scuff marks.

Don't forget that entryway carpets and tiles tend to get the dirtiest. If yours are in need of sprucing up, our fast-drying cleans ensure these areas are ready for guests again in no time.

Keep your upholstery refreshed

Sofas, armchairs, and dining room seats all play centre stage during summer socialising.

In turn, this makes them magnets for hidden dangers such as dust, sweat, food crumbs, pet fur, and inevitably the occasional spill.

To keep your upholstery looking fresh, you could:

  • Vacuum soft furnishings weekly using a brush attachment

  • Flip or rotate cushions where possible

  • Wipe down armrests and surfaces with a damp, neutral cloth

  • Avoid DIY stain sprays that can leave sticky residues

Better yet, why not get us to deep clean your upholstery with our specially designed tools and Zr Water?

We will remove odours, lift stains, and revive your favourite fabrics, leaving everything soft, clean, and ready for company all summer long.

Create a simple summer cleaning routine

Once your home is sparkling following a deep clean, staying guest-ready becomes more about maintenance.

Only you will know what works best for you, but a simple, low-effort summer cleaning routine could look something like this:

  • Monday: Quick vacuum and fluff cushions

  • Wednesday: Wipe down surfaces and spot clean any spills

  • Friday: Light mop or floor refresh and tidy hallway

  • Weekend: Enjoy the sun knowing the cleaning is done!
