Caribanna and Toronto

We had three guests  stay with us from the US this summer to participant with the Canadian ( Toronto) Caribanna festival.  Its a festival requiring lots of glitter, makeup and costumes

We are still finding stains on shower curtains, floor mats, duvets and carpet since they stayed.  A few things were compensated ie. towels and sheet but not the majority. I would caution anyone who has this type of guest to make sure they are  careful and use a utility room or garage for the application of the makeup since its impossible to get it out of some of the items.

How do you warn them Glenn M. since you don't know what people are up to and how tidy they are?

Greetings,

Hi

The guests were tidy but the staining of various items in the room and bathoom caused damage and just a warning if a guest stays at a location and they inform you that they will be active in a `jump up``, parade event you need to beware to double check your property before they go. They were gone before we had a chance to inspect the full extent of the damage. This event operates every August and many people scramble for a location. I just came back from Trinidad and its also a possible event but before Advent. In Canada due to the cold in February they forestall the celebration till its hot.

Again be aware, ask questions and be prepared, thats all.
