He's spoiled! He calls and you go running around cleaning and vacuuming. No, no, no!
Next time, just surface clean and don't worry about it. I know that we all think the cleanliness of our homes is a reflection of who we are, but I never find myself inspecting exactly how spotless anyone else's house is. As long as it's reasonably neat, that's basically all I see. That's all anyone will see about your home too.
I've learned to just straighten up before I have a party. The guests usually make somewhat of a mess, and then I clean that up. It works beautifully, and I'm always complimented on how lovely my home is.
