The main things people remember after their stay at your house is how clean the toilet was, how much they were fed, and just how comfortable they felt. People are already prone to not feel at home in a new environment or when they’re trying to respect someone else’s space, but you can help them to avoid feeling uncomfortable through many different methods. The more you help them feel at ease, the more likely they’ll want to come back and even give you a great visit to their own house.

Step

1. Make sure you always clean the kitchen, living room, guest bathroom, and guestroom before your visitor arrives. It’s not completely necessary to do a deep cleaning in your own room and bathroom, but try to pick things up in case your guest happens to see it.

2. The main things to get do is have clean sheets for your guest, clean towels and hand towels, a clean bathroom (scrub the toilet), plenty of food, and outlets available for your guest’s cell phone charger or laptop.

3. Try to not go overboard on the tidiness of the house. It’s OK to have your stuff out so it still looks like a home instead of a five-star hotel. You don’t want things to be too perfect to where your guest is afraid of touching anything or being able to relax. Show them that it’s OK if things aren’t in the exact place they need to be in, while still having a clean household.

4. Stock up on food that you know your guest likes, especially on breakfast foods if they happen to get up earlier than you. Being a good host includes making them food and trying to make them feel loved and welcome. Treat them the way you’d want to be treated—even if it means spoiling them. There’s no penalty for showing someone tons of love.

5. Always put a new bar of soap in the shower and don’t give them anything that’s been used. Make sure there’s shampoo and conditioner (it’s OK if it’s not brand new) to use, as well as a clean washcloth.
