Summer started just a couple of weeks ago, and we’re all full of fun! It is synonymous with one of our favorite seasons of the year: holidays, which are a revitalizing activity after months of hard work and long days in school.
Therefore, today in our blog we bring you some quick recommendations before leaving home. So you and your family can go much more relaxed to those deserved holidays. Take note of these tips and get ready to experience the best of the season.
Make sure to properly close doors and windows
Do not leave home without making sure that doors, windows and guards are properly closed; mainly the front door of the house, and where appropriate, the back door. In the same way, do not leave without checking that all the windows are secured, so you will leave the house much safer.
Close water and gas
Turn off the main household supplies like water and gas taps. We also recommend lowering the electrical voltage to avoid wasting energy that we are not getting use out of, if this is the case, empty your refrigerator completely, you will prevent the food from spoiling and also emitting bad odors.
Safeguard valuables at home
It never hurts to be cautious and leave home with a calmer mind. Our advice is that objects such as jewelry, electronic devices, important documents, cards bank or cash are kept in a safe or simply notleft in sight. Another option is to leave all these goods with someone you trust, so you do not run the risk of suffering material losses.
Do you have pets and you can’t take them with you?
If you have pets and it is impossible to take them with you, we advise you to leave them with your family or trusted friends. If you leave for a considerable period of time, do not neglect or leave them alone at home; be sure to leave what you need with them, like food, water, medicines and the toys or objects that they require.
Vigilant neighbors
Support yourself with a neighbor who looks after your house during your vacations, so someone can be aware of what is happening in your home and detect suspicious activities. Also, you can ask him to take care of your correspondence, so there will be no accumulation of envelopes or stationery at your door and it will not be so noticeable that the house is empty.
Other recommendations that we can give you are:
- Don’t leave copies of keys hidden “under the rug”.
- Disconnect your phone; you won’t be there to answer calls and avoid let the sound alert the curious.
- Be discrete; remember not to point out that your house is empty.
Remember that on this vacation the most important thing is to relax and have a good time in the company of your family. We hope these tips are of great help to you.
