Experts give dep prep tips to ensu home is fresh ar when you get ba you haven't was penny on house

hiffy bins, pongy plugholes and an army of ants carrying crumbs across your kitchen is not the best welcome back after a holiday.

But all it takes is a small amount of easy pre-departure prep to ensure you open the door to a house that feels fresh, tidy and inviting, so you feel happy to be home.

Clean up crumbs

Cleaning influencer Anna Louisa (@anna_louisa_at_home), who has 1.2 million followers on TikTok and 4.2 million followers on Instagram, says it's vital you clear away crumbs and food debris from floors and surfaces before heading off.

“Give the house a quick vacuum or sweep, especially around the kitchen and dining areas to remove any food remnants, or you risk returning to a trail of ants,” says Anna, author of new book, The 5 Minute Clean Routine.

“Wipe down worktops, too, to ensure there are no food remnants left behind. Even small crumbs or sticky spots can attract pests or start to smell if left for several days.”
