Tips to leave the house clean before traveling
General cleaning
The best feeling is coming home after a long trip and having everything neat and shiny. We avoid having to stress about cleaning them as soon as we open the door.
Put everything in its place, dust, vacuum, sweep and clean the floors. Pay special attention to cleaning and disinfecting the bathroom and kitchen, which are usually the places that tend to accumulate the most dirt and bad odors.
Wash clothes and put them away
Avoid leaving clothes to wash and iron. This way, it is not accumulated with what we bring dirty from vacation.
Change the sheets and make the bed
If we arrive late from our trip, the only thing we will want to do is bathe them and get into a clean, spotless, and smelling bed.
Check the refrigerator
Try to consume everything that is in the refrigerator to prevent it from rotting or becoming ugly. Discard anything that could generate a bad smell.
And if we leave things inside the appliance, it is recommended to leave an ice cube tray: if when we return, the object is at the bottom, that means that the power has gone out and that it is not advisable to consume anything we keep there.
Ventilate the rooms
I opened the windows and closets to ventilate the rooms and make the house cool before closing everything. Lower the blinds to prevent your house from overheating from spending so much time exposed to the sun.
For safety, check that everything is properly closed before leaving.
Take out the trash
This way, you avoid bad odors and the possibility of encountering insects when you return. Wash the basket before you leave.
Turn off the gas and water taps
Check that the water and gas taps are tightly closed to avoid leaks or losses that are risky for your home and neighbors.
