Let’s face it. We are entering one of the most fun, yet most stressful time of the year! I know personally making sure that my home is “guest ready” over the next couple of months has me a bit nervous. My goal when people come to my home is to make sure they are comfortable and taken care of, even if they aren’t staying overnight. A short visit counts for me. So while its easy for me to take care of my guests that  may be crashing for a couple days, I like to make sure that my powder room shows just as much attention to detail, and is spotless!

 

 

Heading to my local Target with my list in tow, I made sure to grab my Scotch-Brite® Brand products.

 Since my powder room is small, my cleaning areas of focus are pretty targeted. I start with cleaning the toilet using my Scotch-Brite® Disposable Toilet Scrubber, which cleans up the toilet nicely with its pumice scrubbing head. I also love that the bleach alternative is built-in the scrubber which helps me to eliminate the step of having to add a cleaning solution to the toilet, then scrub. Any time I can skip a step, A+ in my book!

After the toilet, I focus on cleaning the sink using a homemade cleaning solution, wiping the inside of the bowl and wiping down the faucet.

Once I finish with all the cleaning stuff…… I then focus on the PRETTY!

Nothing says attention to detail like a guest basket of essentials. I have one in my guest bedroom, and now one in my powder room. To create this simple basket,  you will need:

• a small basket
• four white hand towels
• small travel-sized lint brush
• hand lotion
• mints
• small glass jar
• pack of tissues
• chalk label (optional)

Following the steps below, I put together my basket. It was super simple!

Step 1: First I rolled my hand towels and placed them on both sides of the basket

Step 2: Next I added my mints to the glass jar, and placed it in the center of the basket

Step 3: I added my hand lotion

Step 4:I added the lint brush and tissues

How easy right! As an extra detail, I added a chalk label and attached it to the basket.

For extra credit, go ahead and add fresh flowers of your choice and a scented candle.

And that’s it! Now my powder room is ready for any visitors that may come my way!
