We use a home watch company, and they do whatever we instruct, within reason of course, but everyone seems to prefer different procedures.

Friend of mine says they add a fair amount of white vinegar (2-4 cups) to each toilet and close the lid, everything fine when they return. Here, they have the home watch co. turn on the water and clean the toilets monthly. Does anyone do the vinegar thing here and just leave them alone all summer?

Also, we have 2 refrigerators (one in the laundry room) and plan to empty one and turn off, leave the other on low with condiments, staples like flour, etc. and whatever leftover beer/drinks we don't have room for in our car. Do you prefer to leave the doors closed or open on the turned-off one? I have seen posts advising both.
