Don't get caught without Bounty Paper Towels this holiday season. We all know that Bounty is the quicker picker upper. There is no other time of the year when cleaning the house is more important than when we are expecting guests for the holidays.

3 Ingredient All-Purpose Cleaner helps get the house ready for all my holiday guests via flouronmyface.com

I can't live without my roll of Bounty paper towels. Between using them to keep the house clean and wiping up after the grandkids, I run through Bounty paper towels like you wouldn't believe. Bounty paper towels in my kitchen are as important as never running out of Charmin toilet paper in the bathroom.

Keeping my home stocked with my favorite P&G Household products is easy when I shop at Costco. I love the bulk size packages from Costo. I always have my Bounty paper towels and Charmin toilet paper on hand. I don't have to worry about running out when I have company over for the holidays. Shopping at Costco saves me time and money.

This holiday season be sure to stock up with all your favorite P & G products from Costco. You don't want to run out of Charmin with a house full of holiday guests. That would be pretty embarrassing.

Holiday Cleaning Kit Supplies

Now that you have stocked up on P & G products at Costco you need a Holiday Cleaning Kit so you can get the house sparkling clean before the guests arrive.

Stock your Holiday Cleaning Kit with the Homemade All-Purpose Cleaner, Bounty Paper Towels, Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, Swifter Duster, and refills. Now you are ready for all the cleaning jobs you may come across from daily cleaning to deep holiday cleaning.

I always restock my Cleaning Kit when I am expecting guests. Then I start deep cleaning the week before they will arrive. Once the deep cleaning is out of the way I can do a quick touch up the day before they arrive. This saves me time and stress.

My bottle of Homemade All-Purpose Cleaner really gets a workout during the holidays. I actually have three bottles of homemade cleaner on hand. I have two small bottles and a large one. I keep a small one in each of the bathrooms so I can do quick clean ups on a daily basis and the large one stays in my cleaning kit under the sink for deep cleaning days.

Holiday Cleaning #HostingHack

Never use the sponge or rag you wash your dishes or other surfaces with to clean up any liquid from poultry. Use a Bounty paper towel to clean up the spill and then clean with a disinfectant that kills bacteria.

 What room or part of your house do you absolutely hate to clean?

I hate cleaning the tub! I'd rather scrub a sink full of dished that clean the bathtub.

What is your favorite Costco P&G Product to help get the house ready for holiday guests?

Have a safe and happy holiday!
