Questions And Answers About Short Term Cleaning
You might think that turning over your Airbnb rental is going to be the easiest part about hosting? Think again! Vacation rental cleaning requires attention to details. The house needs to be properly staged, look and smell clean to cause a good first impression when guests walk in.
In some occasions, the guest may eat out during their stay, but it does not mean the kitchen should not be clean. Most guests will at least make breakfast in the morning. Imagine waking up to make a cup of coffee and finding there are no filters, or the coffee pot was never cleaned! The bathrooms must be sparkling clean. If your guest sees hard water and soap scum build up inside the shower, your guests will not like that. Bedrooms are the most used space by guests. Your guests look for the same comfort as in a hotel room, so no dust bunnies allowed under the beds!
You can trust House Bliss Cleaning as a partner to provide an excellent check-in experience to your guests. Our leading team brings in hospitality provider experience, so we understand the difference between residential cleaning and hospitality cleaning. In addition to a detailed cleaning, our crew knows the importance to open and check inside drawers and closets, and why we must report any signs of smoke or damages in the unit.
In order to maintain a high hospitality standard that will get you to the super host title, your property must be presentable, as a five-star hotel every time. Our methods are simple but often overlooked. We create a unique profile called “Property 101” with high standard cleaning practices that are used to train our cleaning crew. After each turnover, the crew also complete a checklist that covers cleaning details from A to Z and sure no detail is missed.
A turn over cleaning is a standard cleaning, changing beds, cleaning the kitchen and bathroom, surface dusting, wipe inside the fridge and oven. But a deep house cleaning that consists of a full scope of cleaning, wiping doors, baseboards, wiping window sills and hand clean blinds, cleaning oven, full fridge cleaning, wiping cabinet doors, cleaning inside bathroom cabinets, moving furniture (where possible) to clean behind, vacuuming under the rugs, and more. We recommend the initial cleaning and once every 6-months.
