Krazy Kruizers Posted June 14, 2005 #27 Share Posted June 14, 2005 I clean the house before we cruise. I like to come home to a clean house. Also I don't have to worry about cleaning the house when I get along with doing all the unpacking and washing of clothes. And even though we have an alarm system, our neighbors still comes in and checks the house and I don't want them seing a dirty house. They are great. They know the day we are to arrive home, and if it is in the winter, they turn up the heat. In the summer they adjust the air-coditioning. Always come home to a confortable house.

Another Cruise Posted June 15, 2005 #28 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I also like the idea of coming home to a clean house, but just in case it doesn't get done---my daughter and daughter-in-law have faithfully sworn that if anything happens to me, the first person they will call is a housekeeper to make sure it is clean before my Mother sees it. I'm 58 and she is 84, but the guilt trip would find me no matter where I was!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imasealuvr Posted June 15, 2005 #29 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I clean the house before I leave. But I remember coming home to an even CLEANER home (LOL) when my two children 18 and 21, would stay at home and DH and I would go away...HMMMMMMMMMMMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creole Girl Posted June 15, 2005 #30 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Yes I clean before I go on vacation. Only problem is that if I am going out of town and my DH is not going with me I still have to clean when I get home because he has not gotten it yet. I won't have this problem for our upcoming cruise since we will be together. Clean sheets, clean bathrooms, laundry done, dishes done, dust and vaccuming is a day of your time. Coming home from vacation and being able to relax is priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bplazo Posted June 15, 2005 #31 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Yes, I always make my husband clean the house before we go on a cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyzoo Posted June 15, 2005 #32 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Looks like I'm in the minority. No major cleaning before we cruise -- just empty the refrigerator, wash the dishes and empty the dishwasher, take out the garbage, maybe (or maybe not) change the sheets, tidy up a bit so our petsitter doesn't think I'm a complete slob. Too much else to do to get ready, to spend a lot of time house cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinsel57 Posted June 16, 2005 #33 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I have a regular cleaning lady. We work long hours and I've lots of pets plus an allergic reaction to cleaning supplies! She's well worth every cent I pay her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
