We all have them and they are so useful when we need them, so let's give them some TLC and get them ready for the fun every summer brings!
Most of us come home from our trips so tired and with our minds already spinning on what needs to be done, what was left unfinished, that all we do is to get our belongings out and store the poor suitcases back in the black whole of basements, storage rooms and garages.
True that luggage these days can be inexpensive, but that's no reason to be careless, after all we want them to last as long as possible. And, if you are a lucky one who uses high quality, brand suitcases, one more reason to take care of them.
Now, go to your storage area, pull your suitcases out and open them, one by one. Check for "leftovers" - you might even find some special memories from your last trips in here! Check for spills, damaged wheels and handles, torn fabric and check if they're still safe to tote your cute outfits and treasured finding from your next trip around the globe. If you have travel accessories, like clothing organizers, totes and toiletries, bottles for your cosmetics check if they are clean and ready to go.
Now that you have accessed everything, make a list of what you need to do or if anything needs replacement, plan your budget for it. It may be a simple cleanup inside the luggage or a full wash of a toiletry bag with spills. Just bring the item to your laundry area and when you run another load, make sure it goes in.
If your suitcases are damaged, you may need to replace it. Don't fret! This is a great time to look into department and specialty stores, when they are running sales on travel gear or just bringing out their last collections.
Have fun, plan a nice vacation and stroll that suitcase around like a pro!
Wishing you a great week!
