Going away for 4 weeks - house prep

One other thing I've also learned to do is make sure the washing machine is clean and leave the door and detergent drawer open so that it dries out rather than ferments

Same with the dishwasher (if you have one). I once went away for a week to find a very mouldy cup and plate in the dishwasher when I got back

No harm in turning a stop tap off.  For the seconds it takes it's better than a flooded house.

Yup I do even if going away for a week.

thanks again. We did an empty dishwasher and washing machine cycle the morning before we left and left both doors open to air
