How do I prepare my home for holiday guests?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
Deep clean guest rooms and bathrooms, test your heating system for comfort, and check that smoke and carbon monoxide detectors work. Stock extra bedding, towels, and toiletries. Clear pathways of clutter and ensure stairs and walkways are well-lit. Prepare your kitchen by cleaning appliances and checking that cookware and dinnerware are ready.
Why It Matters
A welcoming, comfortable home makes holiday gatherings enjoyable for everyone. A few days of preparation prevent last-minute stress.
