It’s a trick Edelman calls “reshifting,” and it’ll not only make your home look organized but also ensure that you’ll be able to find key things later.

Don’t forget about the bathroom - Pull out disinfectant wipes and quickly clean the key surfaces. For the toilet bowl, drop a couple of effervescent tablets or pour a can of soda into the bowl; let it fizz for 20 minutes, then flush.

Suck it up - Sorry, but vacuuming is a must. Just run the vacuum quickly through the house. It’ll pick up little pieces of paper and dust and make your place look more polished instantly.
