5 Hosting Tips for the Holidays

Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays one and all! It’s December and we’re gearing up for a busy holiday season. We would like to remind all our readers to check out our specials and website for all of your plumbing needs. As the holidays quickly approach us we start to get phone calls from all our relatives, we make plans and try to quickly get the house ready for our guests. Often, what gets overlooked comes back to haunt us at the worst times so that’s why today we want to go over a few easy steps on how to get your home ready for guests.

1. ​Clean your kitchen thoroughly. Our kitchen can be the focal point in a lot of our homes. People like to crowd around where there’s food and the kitchen becomes a social spot during the holidays. You want to concentrate on the stove tops and microwave. These will receive constant use.
2. While we’re on the topic of the kitchen, keep that refrigerator stocked. Guests will sometimes bring food of their own that will need to be refrigerated but you also want to be able to provide guests with a quick snack or refreshment.
3. Moving into our guest bathrooms, we want to make sure our guests have enough towels and toiletries to get them through their stay. Make sure the toilet and sinks are operating at 100%, if you suspect any clogs make sure to call us and we’ll send someone out to be of service.
4. Washer and dryer maintenance. Guests equal more clothes and sometimes that means more loads in the washer and dryer. Make sure they’re in tip top shape. If you buy a new washer we are happy to come by and install it!
5. This is a given, but make your guests feel welcomed. Put some holiday music on, light some candles, and most importantly have fun!

Hope these helped you along! We know the holidays can be overwhelming at times so we want you to know Metro-Flow Plumbing has your back. Above all else though, enjoy your time with family! Family time is priceless and we know how special being together is after current events.
