Friday List of Things to Do | 30 Day Vacation Prep | Have a Good Weekend!
Home & Kitchen for a Clean Return
Walking back into a Clean house after a Vacation. For example, leaving on a Friday and returning on a Monday.
Empty the Fridge: Toss anything that will expire by Monday. Take the trash out on your way out the door to prevent mystery smells.
Clear the Sink: Do not leave dishes soaking. Aim for an empty sink, empty dishwasher and a clean counter top.
Laundry Reset: No laundry in the hamper or in the washer machine. Dry all clothing or leave them hanging up to drive.
Electronic Room Air Freshener: Have an air freshener in the house to keep the house smelling nice.
The Power Sweep: Unplug non-essential electronics to save energy and reduce fire risks while you’re away.
Return from Vacation
The Monday List: Write down your top three priorities for Monday morning and create a schedule so you know what you will be doing when you return from vacation.
Thank You Note: Check the notes in your guest binder and write a thank you note or email to your family or friends.
Empty Your Suitcase: Don't delay. Empty your suitcase and do laundry. Let the memories of your vacation be the vacation not the chore of emptying your suitcase.
