-The Top 10 Tips for coming home from holiday
Even though your holiday has finished, there is no need to be down. Make the shift from holiday to home as easy as possible by following these top tips given from Vicki Copley, the founder of holiday laundry service Your Holiday Wash.
“Being super prepared for your home coming ensures the return to reality is as pain free as possible, I follow this routine each time I go away.” commented Vicki.
1. Order the food shopping - It’ll save you time when you come back and will allow you some much needed rest after your journey. 2. Clean and tidy up - coming back to a clean house will keep you in good spirits or if you are lucky enough to have a cleaner make sure you get the house spring cleaned whilst you away. Ideally put fresh bed linen on the beds, everyone loves their one bed and what a better welcome home.
3. Cancel the milk or newspapers - you don’t want to come back to a doorstep full of stale milk and your postbox crammed with old newspapers, plus this signals to burglars that no-one is home.4. Tell family or friends to keep an eye on your house - even giving them a key to check your house will give you piece of mind when you are away. If you need to ensure, they have alarm codes too. Make sure you share your holiday plans with loved ones, in case of emergency.5. Empty the fridge and sort the bins- everyone has returned home after a break to be greeted by some decaying item! If you have a wheelie bin arrange with neighbours to put it out whilst you’re away,
6. Prepare for post-holiday such as washing - think about using the professionals such as booking Your Holiday Wash. Recent research confirms that 52% of holiday makers returning home, dread getting the holiday washing and ironing done more than any other chore! *7. Back to work - make sure you are ready for the first day back – think school bags, uniforms and work clothing, have it ready in case you arrive back late and have Monday morning to contend with.
8. Green fingers - plan for someone to mow the lawn or water any house plants just in case there is a heat wave while you’re away.
9. Man’s best friend - make sure any family pets are planned for, are they also having a break. Even the goldfish needs some TLC.
10. And finally ....put a bit of bleach down the loo to ensure everything smells clean and fresh when you return!
Available for £49.90 (that’s only £4.99 per kg), Your Holiday Wash collect, wash, dry and iron up to 10kg of holiday washing which they aim to return within 3 days – all beautifully folded and in a box. The laundry is returned directly to your home, or office door, with no hidden extras. All you have to do is open the box and put the ready folded clothing away!
