Whilst not a good decluttering strategy, it is ok to move stuff into spare rooms and cupboards. Better still if someone does it for you. Put something sparkling and clean on show, as it will absorb attention and suggest you have the most stringent highest standards of style and cleanliness. Your body fragrance of freshly washed and scrubbed and scented elegance will waft over the air and suggest a sophisticated boudoir, whilst your stinking odds and ends are shoved out of sight. Vacuum in high profile spots, as with a quick dust, and the mere small burst spray of polish etc will indoctrinate his mindset that you are kim and Aggys hated better triplet. Open windows if you live in a clean spot , its warm atm, and air the old stale dregs of life and others past away. Obviously first impressions count, so clear any junk away. Diluted fabric conditioner is a clean smelling way to breath some newness into a room - you can mist spray it. I dont go big on those smell removers, as Id shudder to think the corpse of the last meet is decomposing and they have something murky to hide. Worst case paint your light bulbs black, so he cant see if its a hovel. Make that bathroom a shiny clean spot too - a quick wipe works wonders, but please - I beg you - use different items to clean the loo from the rest. Pick a flower or two from the garden and drop lovingly into a little trinket, which will ensure he believes you are as fresh as little bo peep, minus the stinking sheep. The 80/20 rule applies. 20% of your effort gets you 80% of your results. Dont do more than 19%, else you will appear on channel 5 obsessive compulsive cleaners. Obviously fresh linens too. If you cant manage this much, get him fucking you over the compost heap, getting it all back to basics. |

Where do you sleep if your bed is covered in washing and shoes?!
