Imagine this: You’re on a plane, sipping something bubbly, scrolling through your vacation playlist. The bags are checked, your out-of-office is on, and your biggest concern is whether to start with the beach or the pool. You’re completely relaxed and not once have you thought about the pile of laundry or the crumbs under the couch back home. Why? Because you scheduled a pre-vacation cleaning with Maid Brigade.
June 18 is National Wanna Get Away Day, and it’s the perfect reminder to prioritize what matters: making space for joy, adventure, and, yes, peace of mind. With your cleaning taken care of before takeoff, your vacation can start the moment you lock the front door.
Stress-Free Travel Begins With a Scheduled Cleaning
Vacations are supposed to be restorative, but all too often they’re bookended by stress. Between packing, planning, and chasing down passports, the last thing you want on your to-do list is mopping the floors. Here’s what a pre-vacation clean can do for you:
Free Up Mental Space
Planning a trip requires dozens of decisions, big and small. From booking flights to finding a pet sitter, your brain is already in overdrive. Handing off the cleaning gives you one less thing to worry about so you can stay focused on your itinerary, your loved ones, and your well-deserved time away.
Start Relaxing Before You Leave
It’s hard to get excited about a getaway when you’re surrounded by clutter and dust bunnies. A clean home sets the tone for a smooth send-off. When you know everything is fresh and in order, you can fully embrace that pre-vacation buzz instead of scrambling to tidy up the night before.
Return to a Fresh Start
Coming back from a trip often means facing a mountain of laundry, unopened mail, and a to-do list that seems to have multiplied. But when you walk into a clean home, you get a soft landing. There’s no urgent cleanup waiting, just a peaceful space that makes it easier to shift back into your day-to-day routine.
Pre-Vacation Cleaning: Where Your Home Needs it Most
Not sure where to focus your energy (or your cleaning crew) before you leave? These areas tend to make a huge difference, and Maid Brigade’s cleaning experts are equipped to handle them all:
Kitchen and Fridge
Clear out perishables and wipe down surfaces so you don’t return to funky smells or mystery spills. A fresh-smelling kitchen makes a world of difference, and coming home to clean countertops and an empty trash can just feels like home.
Bathrooms
Nothing ruins post-vacation bliss like a grimy sink or a sour-smelling towel. Cleaning your bathrooms before you go means you can enjoy a fresh, hotel-like vibe when you return. Think sparkling faucets, fresh towels, and no toothpaste blobs in sight.
Floors and Entryway
These areas collect dirt, dust, and pet hair faster than you think. Having them vacuumed and mopped before you go ensures a clean welcome when you walk through the door. Plus, it helps keep your home allergen-free while you’re away.
Laundry
Nobody wants to return from vacation with a suitcase full of dirty clothes and a full laundry basket. Getting caught up on laundry beforehand means you’re starting from zero when you return and have more space to unpack and get organized.
Bedding
Picture yourself coming home, throwing your bags in the corner, and sinking into freshly washed sheets. There’s no better feeling. A pre-trip bedding refresh helps your body rest after long travel days and eases your transition back into home life.
