It’s almost time for holiday celebrations and that means for many families, holiday visiting! I love having my family come to visit but it does mean that the house needs some extra preparation. But this year, P&G Canada is here to help with some helpful tips and ideas for making any home feel hotel-luxurious for guests!
The Bedroom
Sprinkle Downy Unstopables into your laundry to ensure sheets smell fresh and clean for their entire stay – adding a touch of luxury to their sleep! To be sure your guests feel relaxed place a Febreze Sugared Cranberry Candle on their bedside table – the aroma is certain to put them at ease!
The Kitchen
Doing laundry can not only be a hassle for guests, but is rarely ever a priority. With Tide-To-Go Pens, you can offer them the feeling of a crisp clean outfit instantly, in the event of a dinnertime mishap.
Harsh winter air and a sink full of dishes may sound like an unsavoury way to treat your special guests. Since they’re sure to be the first to lend a helping hand after dinner, show your gratitude and make dishwashing a pleasant, post-dinner tradition. It’s simple: swap out your favourite scented suds for Dawn Hand Renewal with Olay, cutting turkey grease and rejuvenating your guests’ hands in just five washes!
The Bathroom
Travel sized portions of body wash, face cream, shampoo and conditioner are the perfect items to keep in the full bathroom for your overnight guests. As these products are often the first items forgotten when packing, guests will not have to worry when they see Olay Body Wash and Olay Regenerist waiting for them by the bathroom sink.
In the shower, add a couple shampoo and conditioner options to provide hair products that match your guests’ needs! With Pantene Smooth, your guests will have hair that stays super-sleek for up to 72 hours and, with Pantene Volume, guests who suffer from flat hair will experience 24-hour volume to get them through that holiday party!
Personally, I love the idea of having travel-sized products on hand for guests, especially since my family tends to all favour different products. Having small bottles to offer variety is such an easy way to ensure everyone has the products they prefer!

With a few simple and festive touches, my guests are sure to feel comfortable visiting this holiday season, even if I don’t manage to clean the house from top to bottom. After all, the best part about having family and friends visit during the holidays is getting to spend time with them. And I’ll be doing plenty of that after giving my home a warm and inviting feel with help from P&G!
Get the kids involved in preparing your house for company. It will get done faster and will be easier on your back :)
Febreeze and candles!
make sure house is clean n smelling fresh
Start cleaning your home early, do not leave it until the last day!
Leave your sitting room clean and unused until guests arrive
My best tip is to make a list – and work at it a little every day so it’s not too overwhelming
I hope I win that would be awesome
My tip is to use fragrance. Burn candles that have a pine scent or apple cinnamon scent! You’re home will smell great!
Just a note about the new Rafflecopter. It won’t let me leave my facebook name. I use the name “Glogirl” to enter and it automatically fills this name in for my facebook name. When I try to change it to my facebook name, it keeps coming up with my Rafflecopter sign in name which is “Glogirl”. Any suggestions?
I’ll look into this for you and see what I can learn from the Rafflecopter crew! Thanks for letting me know! :)
When I put up Christmas decorations I put away other nick nacks so my living room is not so cluttered.
I like to keep the home clean and to use scents that reflect the holidays
