Cleaning Tips to Beat the Post-Vacation Blues
June 12, 2019

Getting back into everyday life after a fabulous vacation is extremely difficult. Jet-lag can leave you feeling blue, tired and uninspired. Your bags are stacked in the front hallway and the last thing you want to do is open the door to a messy, disorganized condo. Instead, you turn the key in the keyhole, and push open the door and walk into a glittering clean home. Reality hits, turning that frown upside-down; you had the foresight to hire a professional cleaner to not only clean your condo but to water your plants while you were away.

Cleaning Tips to Beat the Post-Vacation Blues

The best way to ensure you won’t have a post-vacation hangover is to hire someone to do a vacation clean of your condo while you are away.

  1. Come up with a gameplan

    Planning is key: make a pre-vacation checklist of all the chores you need to accomplish and a second list for packing to eliminate stress. Follow the list and do not deviate from it. However organized you feel you are, you will leave a small mess left from excitement and rushing around of leaving for vacation. There will be a few dirty dishes, a bit of laundry, trash removal and clothes thrown around because you didn’t have room in the suitcase for them.

    The best way to ensure you won’t have a post-vacation hangover is to plan for a cleaner to come in to look after everything you didn’t have time to complete on departure day.

  2. Do the laundry

    No one wants to get home and find that there is a pile of dirty clothing still in the hamper. The thought of doing a mountain of laundry post-vacation is daunting. When you hire a cleaner, while away on vacation, you don’t have to worry about that. All you are left to do is to unpack your suitcases, sort your laundry, and put a load into the washer.

    Walking into the bedroom to see your bed has been made and the pillows fluffed will encourage you to get those bags unpacked quickly and the laundry completed in one fell swoop.

    The best way to ensure you won’t have a post-vacation hangover is to plan for a cleaner to come in and finish the laundry: wash, dry, fold and put away.

  3. Arrange plant and pet care

    It is no secret that both pets and plants can be a problem when leaving for a vacation. Lonely and bored pets can get destructive and plants can wilt and die. Coming home to a messy house and dead plants due to vacation is one sure fire way to catch the post-vacation blues. Even the most independent cat can benefit from someone popping in once or twice while you are away to scoop the litter and top up the food bowl, and, while they’re at it, water the plants.

    Hiring a cleaning service that specializes in pet and plant care can alleviate pet and plant anxiety. The best way to ensure you won’t have a post-vacation hangover is to plan for a cleaner to come in and check after your pet and plants: feeding, watering, cleaning.

  4. Organize your photos

    Reminiscing about your trip with your friends and family may be one of the top ways of beating the post-vacation blues. Have fun showing everyone your photos as you organize them neatly into folders on your computer and decide which one you would like to get printed. The organization will help you relax and decompress after all the travelling.

    What’s more, since you came home to a clean house that was well taken care of by a cleaning service while you were away, you won’t have to worry yourself with any other chores. Doesn’t that sound great? The best way to ensure you won’t have a post-vacation hangover is to plan for a cleaner to come in and clean your entire home so you can enjoy taking time to reminisce about your vacation post-vacation.

  5. Last minute details

    There is always something that needs to be done while you are away. Schedule your cleaner to come to your home to ensure all trash cans are empty and to take out the trash out on garbage day. You can also schedule days that you want someone to come in to check on your home to ensure that timers and security cameras are working and that the thermostat is at a proper setting. In fact, there are many extras your cleaning service is willing to do for you to make you enjoy your vacation worry free.

Scheduling a cleaner to come in to help you maintain your home while you are away on vacation will chase any post-vacation blues away. A professional house cleaning team will take care of your pets, plants, and home, making for a stress-free vacation and an exceptionally clean home upon your return.
