5 maneras de renovar su casa para la temporada festiva

No matter how much you plan ahead, the holidays are always a busy time of year. You have parties to attend, cookies to bake, menus to plan, and gifts to wrap. And when guests are coming to stay overnight, the busy factor ratchets up a notch—or two or three! In addition to prep and cleanup, day-to-day hosting can keep you hopping. All of your hard work is worth it, though, to make memorable moments for your friends and family. 

Whether you're hosting a party or housing a crowd, Delta^® kitchen and bath faucets can help. From faster cleanup to a spa-like shower experience, these innovative products give you a hand at the busiest time of year and every day after.

Whether it's hot cocoa, milkshakes, or a little leftover bubbly, the residue at the bottom of a mug, cup, or glass can be tough to wash up. It's an ideal job for the Delta^® Glass Rinser. This surprising little device can help reduce the time you spend soaking and scrubbing. When you place a glass on the rinser and press down, powerful jets of water shoot up for a quick rinse. The Glass Rinser can be installed in an empty hole in your countertop or sink, like those used for a soap dispenser or side sprayer.

See the Glass Rinser in action and find out how simple it is to install with these step-by-step tips.

With a houseful of visitors, there's always someone in the kitchen looking for a glass of cold water or a cup of tea. Delta^® Beverage and Instant Hot Faucets make it easy for your guests to help themselves.

Beverage Faucets pair with an undercounter water filtration system to provide cold, purified drinking water directly from the faucet—perfect for that late-night glass of water for the kids or staying hydrated during a heated game of charades. Our Beverage Faucets are for cold water installation only and ideal for any under the counter water filtration systems, or chillers.

With an Instant Hot Faucet, you can quickly get near boiling water for tea or cocoa to warm up after sledding without having to wait for a kettle. Our Instant Hot Faucets are designed to work with a hot water tank (e.g., InSinkErator^® HWT300-F200S or HWT-300), which are sold separately.

Delta^® Beverage and Instant Hot Faucets are available in several styles and finishes, so it's easy to find models that coordinate beautifully with your existing faucet.

An easy way to immediately update the look in your bath is to change out your faucet. When shopping for a faucet style and finish you love, be sure to check out the latest features as well. You'll be surprised by some of the useful innovations in today's bath faucets—like pull-down sprayers that simplify cleaning the sink and Lumicoat^™ finishes that easily wipe clean without cleaners or chemicals. Useful innovations like these help keep your bathroom looking flawless.

But don't let installation worry you: replacing your faucet is a simple DIY project. Check out this video from Mike and Hannah, Indianapolis-based general contractors and real estate agents who specialize in whole-house remodels and real estate development, to see how to install a single-handle faucet in three easy steps.

To pamper your guests—or yourself!—consider replacing your shower head with a combination shower. The In2ition^® Two-in-One Shower, for example, features a shower head with an integrated hand shower. You can use each device separately or operate them together for a luxurious and immersive experience. An In2ition^® shower only takes minutes to install, making it an effortless way to create a spa-like shower. Plus, the handheld spray comes in handy when it's time to clean.

These kitchen and bath updates make entertaining easier, creating an even more comfortable space for your guests—one that you'll be able to enjoy long after the holidays. Plus, with features that help simplify cleanup, you'll have more time to relax—even while hosting a crowd.
