Packing and prepping for a vacation can be stressful. The last thing you want to think about is cleaning your home, but it's the best way to avoid a homecoming nightmare!
Use these tips to organize your home so you can leave for your vacation confident that everything is clean and ready to be left unattended.
Clean out the fridge: remove any leftovers or items that could spoil and place freezable items in the freezer.
Run the disposal with ice & salt: run hot water for a few minutes to clean blades of food particles
Wash bed sheets & make the bed: jump into a nice, clean bed after your vacation!
Run the dishwasher: There won't be any dirty dishes waiting for you. Bonus: put dishes away before you leave so your chore list is complete before you're back home.
Empty the trash in all rooms: this will eliminate odor and keep uninvited critters from moving in.
