A Step By Step Guide Articles you get to decorate and play the invisible host for hundreds of happy guests every year. However, getting started can be a challenge.
Once your vacation rental is decorated and ready for guests, one of the most important routines to master is the between-guest cleaning.
You may eventually hire a cleaning service to take care of your portfolio of vacation rental rooms, but when you’re DIY, here’s a quick and thorough guide on how anyone can perfectly clean a vacation rental for guest-readiness.
Step 1. Change and Launder the Linens
When you first walk into a vacation rental after a guest has left (or period of vacancy), always start with the linens. They will take the longest to be ready, and you’ll be glad to have started early.
Strip the bed, gather the towels, and put everything washer-safe into the washing machine.
Step 2. Fill and Start the Dishwasher
The dishes pose a similar task. If your guest left a few unwashed breakfast dishes from your complimentary kitchen supplies, rinse them and load the dishwasher, if you have one. In vacation rentals, always re-wash dishes, even if your guests left them clean in the drying rack.
Step 3. Sanitise and Polish from the Top Down
Now it’s time to polish your room, suite, or house from the top, down. This is where your traditional cleaning skill come in handy. Use a sanitising surface cleaner and paper towels or a microfiber cloth (no lint) to polish everything. Wipe down the furniture, mirrors, counters, sinks, fixtures, and surfaces. Don’t forget the light switches, doorknobs, and cabinet handles, as well. Try to remove every smudge and fingerprint from the entire suite.
Work from the top of your furniture and light fixtures to the bottom of each chair leg and baseboard with everything in between.
