Clean is defined as: all surfaces (walls, floors, counters, fixtures, appliances) free from dirt, grime, excessive dirty dishes/laundry, and grease.

The food is very similar Italian dishes, Italy is just fresher.  

I've been advised by my CPA that this may be risky because how much can you really pay your kid to clean their room, put away the dishes, etc? 

As already mentioned, a checklist is great for this, and then you need to inspect periodically, because dishes break and vegetable peelers disappear. 

Furnishing always costs more than my clients think.If I am going to wash my own dishes on vacation, my lodging better be better than a hotel, haha.

Like others have said, I go cheaper on dishes etc. since those things break easily and need many replacements.  

Did Santa or spouses get you something super special or rare, or found a tasty treat from a local Distiller?  

I use soft side on quartz with a little dish soap.

Ate my way thru Italy, trying as many dishes as possible.
