Make Sure It’s Squeaky Clean

If you think back to times you’ve used a hotel bathroom or guest bathroom, you’ll probably remember that what you cared about most was cleanliness. If your guest bath does not see a lot of regular use, chances are it has developed some dusty ledges and crusty corners. Follow these steps to cleanse and renew it ahead of your guests’ arrival:

Take everything out of the bathroom.

Deep clean the space, paying attention to easy to miss spots like inside the vanity cabinet, the corner behind the door, and the grout lines. If the shower glass is no longer sparkling, you might want to order a kit for removing water stains.

Check that everything is working correctly and make repairs as needed. For instance, if the shower door is leaking, it might be time for a new vinyl seal.

Cast your eye over the bathroom’s contents. Does anything need to be updated or replaced? Purchase new items as needed.

Arrange the bathroom items intentionally with an eye to colors, textures, and heights.

Style Up the Space

Once you’ve ensured that the bathroom is clean and in good working order, you can turn to more aesthetic concerns. A few fresh touches can make an old bathroom seem new again. Possibilities include:

Repainting in a trending color.

Covering a wall with peel-n-stick paper.

Replacing the shower door knob or pull handle with a comparable product.

Adding some fresh wall hangings or accent items.

Updating the towels and bathmat.

Stock the Bathroom

Your houseguests might forget to pack something, so just like a nice hotel, you should have the bathroom stocked with necessities. Consider including:

Toothbrushes and Toothpaste

Body Soap or Wash

Shampoo and Conditioner

Razors

Cotton Swabs

Add Personal Touches

To help your guests feel even more welcome, add items that reflect your knowledge of their tastes and preferences. Possibilities include:

A diffuser with their favorite essential oil.

Their preferred brand of soap, shampoo, and conditioner.

A bouquet of flowers or a potted plant they can take home.

Toiletry items selected with mindfulness of any allergies or sensitivities among your guests.

Accent items in their favorite color.

Publications they enjoy in a basket near the commode.
