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!
I like to have fresh baking on hand for company. It makes the house smell wonderful.
Would love to win this!!!:)
Clean clean clean :)
Start as much cooking and baking as you can in advance and freeze it
Putting up the decorations and preparing some lovely baked treats for guests when they pop in around the holidays.
My tip is don’t leave it until the last minute!! Or it may not get done. If you prepare a little every day it won’t seem like such a huge task.
cleaning and freshening up all linens
Buy appetizers so you’re not stuck in the kitchen.
thoughtful planning – make a schedule, lists, and consult/revise often. thanks
start cleaning early and when company comes light a few candles
