Cleaning Up

One thing about doing a home swap is you need to clean up your home before you leave - the rule of thumb is to leave it better than you found it. Our home was super clean and tidy to begin with - and I am kind of anal when it comes to cleaning, so this home was a good match for me. We have cleaned as we go, so there's not too much work to be done at the end.

Here's what I did: I vacuumed the whole house, cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen and did laundry so our home exchange partners would have fresh sheets and towels when they arrive home. Other than that, not too much to do. Total time: about 2 hours.
