In the wake of recent storms, this is a time of reflection and recovery for many. Whether you’ve been enjoying cooler climates up north or adventuring in far-off destinations, your Florida home is waiting to welcome you back when you’re ready. Transitioning between homes after months away can feel like a daunting task, especially given recent events.
That’s why Relax & Roam is here to make it easier. We’ve curated a helpful guide to get your luxury property perfectly prepared for your return, so you can focus on settling back in. From deep cleaning to personalized care, we’re ready to handle the details and support you every step of the way.
1. Schedule a Thorough Cleaning
After months of being away, a deep clean is the first step to refresh your home. Hire an experienced home services company like Relax and Roam to dust, vacuum, and sanitize every corner before your arrival. We’ll even make sure to clean the refrigerator, check pantry items for expiration, and wipe down kitchen appliances. A spotless home is the perfect welcome back!
2. Inspect for Maintenance Issues
Your property should be thoroughly checked for any maintenance concerns that may have developed in your absence. This includes identifying leaks, cracks, or signs of wear and tear. All home systems—HVAC, plumbing, and electrical—should also be tested to confirm they’re in working order. Addressing any necessary repairs before your return is essential to avoid unexpected disruptions.
3. Refresh Your Landscaping
Curb appeal plays a significant role in creating a welcoming environment. It’s important to have your landscaping attended to, including trimming hedges, mowing the lawn, and revitalizing garden beds. Adding fresh flowers or greenery can bring vibrancy to your outdoor spaces, ensuring your home looks as inviting outside as it does inside.
4. Restock Essentials
After time away, having your household essentials ready can make all the difference. Stock up on toiletries, cleaning supplies, and pantry staples like non-perishable food items. Having a home services company like Relax & Roam take care of this in advance means you can return to a home that’s prepared for your comfort and convenience.
5. Add Festive Decorations
Coming home during the holiday season should feel extra special. Adding seasonal décor—whether it’s holiday lights, a wreath, or even a Christmas tree—can make your return warm and joyful. Ensuring these touches are in place ahead of time lets you focus on celebrating with loved ones.
6. Prepare Your Pool
If your home features a pool, ensuring it’s swim-ready is a priority. Cleaning, balancing the water, checking the filtration system, and confirming all equipment is functioning correctly are essential tasks to tackle before your arrival. A clean, sparkling pool adds to the relaxation and enjoyment of your homecoming.
7. Refresh Linens and Bedding
There’s something comforting about fresh linens. Having your sheets, pillowcases, and bedding freshly laundered ensures your first night back is restful and relaxing. Adding small details, like plumped pillows or a touch of lavender, enhances the feeling of luxury in your space.
8. Plan a Welcome Home Meal
A comforting, well-planned meal can set the tone for your return. Stock your kitchen with the ingredients for a favorite dish, or arrange for a gourmet delivery service to provide everything you need. Pairing it with a special wine or dessert can make the moment even more memorable.
9. Check HVAC Systems and Adjust Thermostats
Comfort is key when you return home, so ensuring your HVAC systems are functioning properly and thermostats are set to an ideal temperature is vital. Regular filter changes and system checks will ensure your home is perfectly climate-controlled the moment you walk in.
10. Plan for Relaxation
Your homecoming should be about unwinding. Set aside time to enjoy your favorite activities, whether it’s taking a stroll by the beach, indulging in a spa day, or simply soaking in the peace of your surroundings. Let your transition back home be as smooth and relaxing as possible.
