Clean and Happy Holiday Houseguests

During the winter holidays, family and friends come together to celebrate the season, give thanks, and look forward to things to come. As we host our loved ones in our homes, making them feel comfortable and cared for is what we all strive for. In this post, the American Cleaning Institute shares some clean and happy touches for helping ensure your guests are delighted at every turn.

In the Guest Room – Overnight guests will appreciate a small bowl or basket full of items they might need but likely forgot to bring, such as a spot remover stick, an at-home dry cleaner sheet, sewing kit, hand sanitizer, and facial wipes. A surprise-and-delight item could be a spray bottle of wrinkle-releaser, so that unpacked clothes look smooth and fresh. Don’t forget to put a small trash can or bag in the room, too!

In the Bathroom – Stock up on extra TP and toothpaste, and it’s always nice to have a variety of body washes and soaps on hand. And, don’t forget clean hand towels! Keep some disposable or washable cups handy, and if you have extra time to be creative, personalize the cups so they know whose is whose!

When cleaning your home to get ready for company, don’t forget to wipe down small places that gather dust, dirt, and germs, including door knobs, window sills, staircase railings, and the area around light switches.

And, if you have small kids at home, ask your guests to be sure to close and put away any medications or vitamins that could wind up in little hands and mouths. Review all of ACI’s home safety tips for the safe use and storage of cleaning products.
