How to Fake a Clean House
The Kitchen
- When the dishwasher is full and the sink is overflowing, stow dirty dishes and silverware in a stockpot and pull them out later to be cleaned.
- Cover up the lingering aroma of last night’s supper by boiling nutmeg, cloves, or cinnamon and orange peels in a sauce-pan on the stove.
- Declutter the refrigerator by taking down notes, drawings, and magnets and throwing them in a plastic bag. Sort through it later.
- Fold hand towels to hide stains. Two tips: Hang the clean side over the oven handle (with the stains in the back), or roll
towels in neat spirals and stack them pyramid-style next to the sink.
