Raise your hand if you’ve run around the house sweating, wiping dust off the baseboards minutes before your dinner party guests were set to arrive. Or fluffed the throw pillows within an inch of their lives. Or ran a vacuum for the tenth time. No? Just me?
Why do we think our houses need to look absolutely perfect before our guests arrive, when we know full well they won’t notice any of the dust, or lint, or flat pillows? A hilarious TikTok reel is going viral because we are all these people. The first reel went live the last week in January, and it went so viral they blessed us with another one.

“Oh hey I didn’t see you coming through all those fingerprints on your glass.”

@thedashleys You should see the baseboards. #couples

“Oh. You didn’t get ready. I feel overdressed.”
“They haven’t even cleaned this place up. You should see the baseboards.“
The Dashleys are self-described “Costco-obsessed, smoothie-loving” vloggers. They share incredible recipes on their Instagram page and their site, and use TikTok to bring some much needed humor to all things parenting. As we all start hanging out more, the hilarious videos are a good reminder: give yourself a break! Your guests are coming for your company, not to judge your house. Unless it’s your mom — in which case you should probably break out the dusting rags.
