Make Your Bathroom Guest-Ready Anytime With the Help of These 7 Tips

We Filipinos are known for our hospitality; we are known for treating guests who stay at our home very well. One way to give visitors the VIP treatment is by making sure the rooms they stay in are clean and complete with all the essentials. If you are preparing to host guests in your home, try these seven tips to get your bathroom well-prepared!

Clean the bathroom consistently

The best way to make sure your guest bathroom always looks guest-ready is by cleaning it consistently. Apartment Therapy recommends deep-cleaning the bathroom at least once a month. For daily maintenance, scrub the inside of the toilet and wipe down the toilet’s exterior, the mirror, and the sink. If you use a shower curtain, keep it closed to prevent mildew growth. Finally, empty your trash can regularly.

Get rid of clutter

Aside from trash, if you keep any of your personal items in the guest bathroom, make sure to clear them out before the visitors arrive. Also, discard empty bottles or expired toiletries. As for items that can still be used, store them neatly.

Keep fresh towels in stock

Give your guests a hotel- or spa-like experience by storing clean, soft, and fresh towels in your bathroom. HGTV suggests splurging on thick cotton bath towels, washcloths, and hand towels that will make your visitors feel like VIPs.

Provide the essentials

In case your guests are unable to bring their own toiletries with them, it’s always a good idea to stock the bathroom with essentials such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, a toothbrush, toothpaste, and cotton balls. The Spruce recommends letting your kids help you prepare small kits containing these essentials for your guests to use.

Update your old bath mat

Replacing your old and dirty bath mat with a new and soft one is one simple way to spruce up your guest bathroom instantly! Try getting one that comes in unique prints and colors that go along well with the interior of your bathroom.

Make the bathroom smell nice

Whether you decide to incorporate fresh plants or flowers in your T&B or accessorize with scented candles or potpourri, a great fragrance is always a wonderful addition to a bathroom. These can also double as pretty decorative pieces.

Incorporate new décor

You may not think of your bathroom as a part of the home you can accessorize, but it can benefit from a little creativity! Add a small tray of tiny trinkets that can infuse some personality to the guest bathroom.
