Subtitle: There is a specific, exhilarating kind of chaos that accompanies the moments right before a vacation. The suitcases are zipped, the passports are tucked safely into purses, and the mental checklist is running on a loop.

Let me tell you about the first time I heard about the upside-down glass sink hack.

I was scrolling through a travel forum, and I saw a post about a pre-vacation ritual. The person said they always placed an upside-down glass in the sink before they left. They said it was a way to protect their home’s peace.

I was intrigued. I’d never heard of such a thing.

I looked it up, and I realized it was a common hotel trick to indicate whether the room had been cleaned. But it’s also a simple pre-vacation ritual for your home.

The Upside-Down Glass Trick

The idea: Place an upside-down glass in the sink before you leave.

The purpose: To protect your home’s peace? It’s not a security measure.

The reality: It can help remind you to turn off the water. If you forget to turn off the water, the glass will catch the water and overflow.

It’s a visual reminder. It’s a way to remember to turn off the water.
