guest-roomGetting ready for your house guest is not a big chore. You’ll want them to feel at home and to make sure there not bored or uncomfortable. Hopefully your house guest is good friends and you know their hobbies and interests.

Preparing the guest room is especially important. This is the room your visitors will stay and it should be a cozy haven, place which they can retreat and feel pampered.

Make you have the bed made with nice fresh bed linens. I find that when using Egyptian cotton sheets my guest just love to spend time in the guest room. Make sure you have vacuumed and dusted everything down just in case your guest suffers from dust allergies.

If you know what your guest’s like to read put some magazines and paperbacks on the night stand. Put some scent candles in the room with a book of matches in case they would like to light the candles.

The guest bathroom should have extra towels and face clothes. Leave unopened soap; bathe gel, shampoo, conditioner, bubbles bath and toothpaste within reach. A hair dryer, extra tooth brushes just in case they for get theirs and other bathroom staples should be left out for you house guests’.

When house guest come to stay the personal touches can make them feel at home. I’m sure they will be touched by your thoughtfulness and will be sure to return the favor in the future.

Spring Break-Staying in Clean Hotel Rooms

fairmont_banff_springs_hotel_roomSpring Break! This is a week were families, and young adults take a vacation to sunny parts of the world to relax, have fun in the warm climates away from the last parts of winter.

This might be your first time to vacation away from home or you could be a frequent traveler. When booking your hotel you will want to make sure it has good reviews. There are a number of ways to reassure yourself that you are staying in the cleanest hotel possible. Here are four things you can do to make your vacation a memorable and clean one.

#1 Be Picky: When choosing a hotel room to be clean don’t let your decision be dictated by the price: expensive does not always mean clean.  You must look at the hotels reputation. Books and travel guides rate hotels on many factors, one being clean.

#2 Look Around: Just by looking at a hotel room it’s pretty easy to see if it’s clean or dirty. If your towels are dirty and the bath tub is grimy mention it to the staff. You notice that the sheets are stained, the TV stand has a large collection of dust, ask to be moved. Your not only paying for the room, you are paying for a clean one.

#3 Stay away from Rooms that Allow Smoking and Pets: Pet’s can dirty up a clean room with just there hair and muddy or wet paws. They walk on the clean carpet and jump on the beds. If someone smoked in a room the smoke linger in the air and rest on tangible items in the room leaving them discolored and fill with ash-tray like smell.

#4 Get Rid if the Spread: The bedspread on the bed! If there is one item that has not been clean in a while it’s probably the comforter when we think about it you probably don’t wash your comforter at home that often maybe waiting for spring cleaning time of the year. Many times hotel room bedspreads aren’t washed on a regular base. Sheets are washed regularly. The best thing to do is remove the comforter off the bed and leave it in a corner of the room. Hotels with duvet covers on their beds are much easier to keep clean.

With people coming and going it’s hard to keep track of all the germs. Hotels reputed for cleanliness are often reputed for a reason: they are in fact clean.

Hope your Spring Break is a happy and clean one.

The Good, Bad, Ugly Bathroom Towels Part 2

6-pc-grand-jacquard-towel-setThis is the second part of my writings on good, bad, ugly bathroom towels. We are going to talk about the “bad quality” of towels.

Towels that are of bad quality are very thin, flimsy and loose weave material. There design is usually a printed design rather than a design that is embroidered. More often these dad quality towels won’t last after several trips to the washing machine. Bad quality towels are mostly made from materials that are not very absorbent.

When buying towels for your home, carefully read the manufacturer tags before buying ,to discover what materials that were used in the making of the towels. There are other problems with towels made with synthetic material is that they may easily scorch, may even melt if used in handling items coming out of an oven and removing a hot pot from the stove top, or when they are thrown into your dryer. Egyptian cotton towels made of 100% cotton is still your best buy.

Next and last part three will be about the ugly towel

6-pc-egyptian-cotton-towel-setsThis is a topic on good, bad and ugly bathroom towels that I have broken up into three parts. Today is the first part and I will talk about the good towels. The most common item found in the home these days is towels. Let me talk to you about selecting the best quality and towel accessories for the home.

Let’s start with the goo-quality towels. These are made from solid sturdy fabric. Towels made of good quality will use colorfast dyes. To purchase good-quality towels will cost more than the cheap towels, but they will last longer especially if your towels are laundered frequently like hand towels and dish towels.

Towels that are made of good quality are also made from absorbent materials. Other towels made with synthetic fabrics don’t absorb even a drop of liquid.

 The towel that get’s the best judgment of most people are made from 100% cotton. The most recognized around the world by many is Egyptian cotton towels as being made from superior fabric. When shopping for towels you will pay more for Egyptian cotton towels than any other type, but in the long term it is worth the investment as they will last for years to come.

The next article part two will be about the Bad -Quality of towels.
