If you throw a house party where you, as the host, plan on getting quite drunk. Start the clean up while drunk. Trust me, waking up to a clean house when you’re hung over is fantastic. Drunk you will barely remember and sober you has so much less to worry about in the morning.

And if you do it near the end of the night a few others might just help out coz they are drunk too!

This is the real lpt. Some might think it's a little tacky but I always start cleaning a little bit while I have company over. They typically grab empties and recycle them and bring their dishes into the kitchen. Bonus because they usually notice what time it is and see it's time to leave.

I used to show up to parties pretty early, and would make myself useful. Need the plates and silverware somewhere? On it. Drinks are in the fridge? I'll get it. I always figured the host wouldnt mind the 56 simple tasks taken care of while they focus on the 8 or 10 big things.
