Knowing someone is coming over whom you want to impress, but there isn't enough time to clean; so you shove everything in a closet, under your bed, or in a hamper to achieve the perception your place is spotless.
My girl and her Mom randomly said they were stopping by for brunch, so I opened the closet doors in support of my fake clean attempt.

Get the fake clean mug.
A fake increase in cleaning standards just prior to having friends over to your place.

Fake clean is manifested in a rushed cursory clean, focusing on the tell tale areas that outsiders could be especially judgy about. The thoroughness of the clean will be dictated by whether the guests about to arrive are clean freaks or are fakers just like you.
For fucks sake - forget about picking up the leaves. We’ve gotta start the fake clean early, Barbi and Richard are coming for dinner!
