3 annoying things people don’t clean in their airbnb because it’s annoying.
1. Wash windows.
Washing windows is the cheapest way to make any room feel brighter, cleaner, and bigger. It’s not a part of a regular clean but should be a part of any deep clean or property launch. Even cleaning high traffic windows like where pets are is a good start.
2. Culling and donating linens/towels.
A cleaners job is to clean, the more decisions you put on your cleaners plates the more you slow them down and piss them off. That said, every cleaner should feel deputized to pull a sheet or towel out of the rotation if it’s not up to scratch. A sheet is $20, a wash rag is a $1, a pissed off ocd neat freak is gonna coats you minimum your cleaning fee.
Also, and this may be hard to hear, linens don’t last forever. Not when you have 500 guests in a year. Let go and let god
3. Tightening furniture
Most airbnb furniture, let’s face it, is Shitty. Why? Because people are insane. They are hard on stuff and it’s not motivating to keep nice items when they can be messed up. That said, if your stuff is held together with bolts be it a chair, bed frame, etc you HAVE to do this. Your freak a leak guests will thank you.
