Vacation rental cleaning should be done methodically, and although there is a cleaning process for check in and check out, there are are also cleaning lists you can always keep handy, and Ana Valenzuela Cleaning Services has put together one for the winter season. This is a sort of cheat sheet you can always count on to improve the condition and sanitation of your Airbnb or vacation rental property.
Here are the essential cleaning steps you must keep an eye on for a spotless and welcoming vacation rental in Santa Fe:
- Gutters and Downspouts: Winter’s freeze-thaw cycle can cause ice dams, leading to water damage. Cleaning gutters ensures proper drainage and an outside that looks spotless. Because yes, house cleaning also means house maintenance.
- Chimney/Fireplace: If the vacation rental has a fireplace, it’s crucial to have it inspected and cleaned by a professional before first guests arrive for the winter season, but also has to be part of the check-in cleaning list your cleaning professional has to do prior to any new Guests coming in. This prevents chimney fires and ensures proper ventilation.
- Heating System: Have the heating system inspected and serviced. This includes checking furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps for efficiency and safety. Change air filters as well. Airbnb and house cleaning don’t require expertise in heating systems, but it certainly does have the ability to check those in to report any potential issues.
- Windows and Doors: Check for drafts and seal any gaps to improve energy efficiency and keep guests warm. Our vacation rental cleaning specialists have the right tricks of the trade for flawless windows inside and out.
- Exterior Surfaces: Clear walkways, driveways, and decks of snow and ice regularly. Applying de-icer is a need, do it regularly to prevent slips and falls. Inspect exterior walls for damage and make any necessary repairs before snow and ice exacerbate the issues.
