Here’s Why You Should Always Leave an Upturned Glass and a Piece of Paper in the Sink Before Going on Vacation

Most people already remember to:

  • Lock doors and windows
  • Empty the trash
  • Turn off unnecessary appliances

Adding this little sink trick gives you one more way to check that everything stayed fine while you were gone.


💡 Extra Ideas Before You Leave

  • Turn off the main water if you’re leaving for a long time.
  • Store food in sealed containers.
  • Check that no damp sponges or cloths are left out.

This tiny habit — leaving an upturned glass and a piece of paper in your sink — takes just a moment and can help you notice small problems early.
When you return from your trip, lift the glass, look at the paper, and you’ll know right away if anything happened while you were away.
