It’s common courtesy to prepare your house when you know you have one or more people coming to stay with you. You have to prepare the residence by cleaning floors through vacuuming and mopping, cleaning the beds by washing the sheets, clean rooms and bathrooms.
Another good tip for preparing the house for company with plans of staying a few days is to ensure you have a substantial amount of food. There are few things as embarrassing as realizing you didn’t do your grocery shopping before your company arrived. Grocery shopping isn’t exactly something many people want to do. For some, it can be time with themselves and that time alone could be therapeutic. For others, grocery shopping is a joyless hassle that they will happily and quickly pass off to someone else or just eat fast food for a few days.
According to recent news, Animal Sanctuary of St. Croix Valley is making preparations for new animal additions to their furry family. The Animal Sanctuary would prepare their quarters for these new animals in need the same way you should prepare your home for a visitor. They will ensure that the animals have food, water, shelter as well as anything else the animals may need long before the animals are taken in. This Animal Sanctuary is a great example of home prepping and hospitality.
Another great example is to observe how a hotel was to treat you as their guest. When you walk in, assuming you called ahead to let them know you were coming, they will need a few hours to get everything ready for you. When you get your room key cards and walk into your room, it is already furnished, decorated and comes with everything you could need, except food in most cases. The hotel staff will prepare your room with fresh clean sheets on the bed with the bed perfectly made for you. The shower will have soap, shampoo and conditioner and the bathroom comes stocked with clean towels and toilet paper.
Now that i’ve given you a few examples of how to prepare your home for guests, get your checklist ready and we will go over each one. Be sure that:
- Your home has been cleaned in all rooms.
- The bathrooms are stocked with towels and toilet paper.
- The kitchen has enough food.
It’s a simple checklist, but it should keep you busy for a few hours. Happy prepping!
