As the holidays approach, vacation rentals may be seeing an increase in traffic. When families decide to travel for the holidays, they expect a clean property to spend time with their loved ones. As an Airbnb cleaning service, it is your job to provide them with exactly that. To ensure that this happens, prepare your Airbnb cleaners with the following equipment, techniques, and expectations.
The Merry Messes
During the holiday season, you can expect your guests and customers to be partaking in some seasonal baking. Who doesn’t love gingerbread and sugar cookies, right? Well, these delicious treats can create some not-so-enjoyable messes. If the guests decide to make baked goods without properly cleaning up after themselves, you can expect there to be hardened batter on the stove, countertops, and tables. Here are some methods of cleaning stray batter off of these surfaces:
- 1. Apply warm water and soap to a dishrag.
- 2. Squeeze out water until it no longer drips.
- 3. Set the damp rag on top of the affected area.
- 4. Wait 3-5 minutes, wipe clean.
- 5. If batter remains, use a plastic scraper or butter knife to remove the remainder.
If the mess in the kitchen is more intense, you may need to choose from a variety of cleaning products and solutions. Specifically, mixtures like hydrogen peroxide and baking soda, or salt and baking soda can work wonders. Apply these mixtures to a sponge or towel and scrub the stovetops or counters. If you’re trying a natural approach, boiling water helps break down tough stains. Just be careful not to burn yourself or your Airbnb cleaners in the process!
The Gift of Cleanliness
Pay attention to the small details when cleaning Airbnbs this winter. If you’re cleaning after Christmas day, be sure no stray wrapping paper is left underneath the furniture. Vacuum any debris that has fallen from the tree, dust off the snowglobes, and continue providing service with a smile. It is sure to pay off in the end.
We all know that the holiday season is a time for giving. This year, give your Airbnb cleaning customers the gift of cleanliness. To guarantee that your Airbnb cleaning service will be appreciated, continue to clean in a thorough, efficient manner. There’s no better way to ensure that your cleaning gets done on time than using TurnoverBnB. Cleaners have access to tools like schedule automation and detailed task reports. Now, you’ll never have to worry about missing a spot or being late for a turnover.
If the guests are happy, the host will be happy, too. Consistent turnover will put you and your Airbnb cleaners at the top of the nice list of any host. Now, the short-term rental guests can have a holiday to remember, and your customers can enjoy a less-stressful holiday season.
