There are several things which go into ascertaining the comfort of your guest and one of those is the bathroom which the guest is going to use. Being a gracious hostess is no easy task and it takes real attention to detail. So here are some tips to note when getting ready for your guest.

Tip 1: The Toiletries

Always make sure that there is a fresh set of toiletries in the bathroom. The bathing soap should be new and unopened. You could buy a row or a pack of tiny guest soap for this purpose so that you don’t feel like you have to throw away a huge bar of soap each time a new visitor arrives. Also ensure that there is a bottle of shampoo present.

If you can, put toothpaste and a brand new brush as well. This is particularly helpful if the person did not plan to spend the night and as a result did not pack toiletries. You will save the person the embarrassment of having to ask.

Tip 2: Have a Clean Towel

This is so important and we have no idea why so many Naija hostesses ignore this fact. Even if you think your guest would have packed a towel, still make sure that there is a clean towel hanging in the bathroom. If there’s no place to hang a towel in your guest bathroom, then fold it neatly on the bed.

Always make sure that you remove the towel after the guest leaves and put a fresh one for a new guest.

Tip 3: A Shower Cap

Even if you don’t have a shower, try to have a shower cap in your guest bathroom.

Tip 4: A Bottle of Water

Have a clean bottle of water in the bathroom.

Tip 5: A Spare Roll of Tissue

We are assuming that you already know you are supposed to have a roll of tissue paper in the bathroom, but you should go a mile further and have a spare roll of tissue there too. If for some reason your guest gets to the end of one roll, he or she would not have to ask you for a second.

 

There are lots of other items you can have in your guest room bathroom that will help make your guest’s stay a comfortable one, but these are the basics we can think of. If we’ve left anything out, please let us know and we’ll update the post.
