The Game-Changing Hand Towel Solution For Your Guest Bathroom

Hosting company is both a gift and a skill — while you may have a knack for making friends and family feel at home, there are always ways to improve your hosting game. You probably already know all of the basics of hosting: have your drink and snack supply stocked, dedicate a spot where company can put their personal belongings down, and create a welcoming bathroom with quality hand soap. But chances are that you haven't ever thought of changing your approach to guests' bathroom hand towels. One TikTok creator, however, has a hand towel tactic that she swears will revolutionize your hosting game and make your bathroom more guest-friendly for the holidays.

@MadameSweat, a TikTok creator whose content is dedicated to "tips for home and body hygiene," has an improvement to offer on traditional communal hand towels in the guest bathroom. Instead of expecting your guests to all share the same hand towel which is likely to get wet after a few people visit the bathroom, Madame Sweat recommends setting out a tray with many stacked hand towels. This hack not only oozes luxury but also ensures that your guests will use a perfectly-fresh towel every time they visit the bathroom. In order to get the most out of this game-changing hand towel solution, it's highly recommended that you also have a basket nearby where your guests can chuck their personal hand towels afterwards. Otherwise, you'll risk having a messy pile of dirty cloths on the counter or floor.

While giving personal hand towels to your guests seems simple enough, there are a few ways to ensure this hack's success. Firstly, you'll want to guarantee that you have enough hand towels to make it through whatever event you're hosting. If it's a small, memorable dinner party with close friends, you might be able to get by with a single hand towel for each person and a few extras in case. If, however, you're throwing a bigger event, you'll want to budget for this with extra hand towels. Consider purchasing one or two multipacks of small hand towels (like the 24-pack of MOONQUEEN Ultra Soft Premium Washcloths Set on Amazon for $18.99) in order to have the greatest chance of success.

If you want to give your guests the gold-star treatment without committing to the laundry, you could also go the disposable hand towel route. This approach will still yield the same hygienic results but will help you avoid having to constantly check how many hand towels are available. You can grab a 200-pack of Servietto Disposable Linen-Feel Guest Towels on Amazon for about $34. For the finishing touch, be sure to also purchase a tray or basket that matches your home's aesthetic from the virtually limitless options online. Pair it with a basket situated near your bathroom sink and your guests should intuitively know to toss their used hand towel into the receptacle (though you could also add a label to play it safe). Whether you're a hosting pro or newbie, this trick will take your events to the next level.
