How to Tidy Up After Your Vacation

Coming home from a vacation always feels good—until you walk in and see the mess you didn’t have time to clean before you left. Whether it’s laundry piling up, dusty surfaces, or things that just feel a bit stale after days of being unused, it’s totally normal to feel a little overwhelmed post-travel. But don’t worry—with the right tools and a simple plan, you can get your space back to feeling fresh and organized in no time.
Here are some easy and relatable tips to refresh your home after a trip, featuring smart, space-saving, and efficient must-haves from ACE:

Start with the Laundry Pile-Up 

Let’s be honest—laundry is always the first thing that greets us after a trip. Instead of letting dirty clothes take over your bedroom or bathroom, sort them right away into a dedicated laundry basket. The Ecoware Corner Laundry Basket 54L is the perfect solution because it’s space-saving and fits neatly in corners while still offering a generous capacity for all your post-travel clothes
It’s also great for separating travel bags, towels, and other stuff that needs a wash after your vacation.

Mop Away the Dust and Dirt 

Even if no one’s been home, dust always manages to find its way in. A quick mop is an easy way to bring your floors back to life. The Scotch Brite Handsfree Mop Starter Kit makes it super simple—with a push-and-pull mechanism that lets you clean and dry the mop without getting your hands dirty. 
The microfiber cloth is powerful when it comes to picking up dust and absorbing moisture, and its upright design makes it easy to store without taking up too much space. After a week away, this mop is a lifesaver for making your home feel fresh again. 
 

Tidy Up and Store Vacation Clutter 

After a trip, bags, souvenirs, and travel gear usually get left lying around. Instead of letting them linger, find a proper place to keep them. The Homer Collapsible Wardrobe Cabinet is a convenient way to organize everything, from extra clothes to shoes, bags, or travel accessories.
With 10 cubes, 6 doors, and a hanger, it offers tons of storage in a compact space. Best part? It's collapsible, so if you don’t need it year-round, you can easily store it away later. The transparent doors also help you see exactly what’s inside without having to open every cube.

Deep Clean with a Pressure Washer 

Some of the toughest post-vacation cleanups happen outside—like dirty patios, muddy shoes, or cars left under the sun. The ARGO Rechargeable Pressure Washer is a lightweight and handy tool for on-the-go cleaning, whether it's your front yard, car, or even your pet’s crate.
It features 6 nozzle modes, a deep foaming function, and a digital battery display to make cleaning fast and satisfying. This is your go-to tool if you want a thorough refresh of the outside areas that got neglected while you were away.

Tackle Small Messes with a Cordless Vacuum

Traveling can leave a trail—sand from the beach, crumbs from road snacks, and dirt from suitcases. The ACO Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner is perfect for quick cleanups, especially for small corners, car seats, and upholstery. It’s compact, lightweight, and cordless, which means no more dragging out a giant vacuum for small tasks.
Charge it once, and it’s ready for those quick touch-ups that make your space feel instantly cleaner.
 
Coming home from vacation doesn’t have to mean diving headfirst into a stressful cleanup. With the right tools—like a space-saving laundry basket, an easy-to-use mop, or a compact handheld vacuum—you can tackle messes in manageable chunks and enjoy that “it’s good to be home” feeling all over again.
