In the Short Term Rental business cleanliness is king. Guest survey after survey routinely list cleanliness as a top concern when choosing a Short Term Rental property. Cleanliness is one of the five aspects that Airbnb asks guests to rank. For you, this is both an opportunity and a minefield. If a guest walks into your place and it feels fresh and clean, that is the first step towards a glowing review, repeat stays, and the most sought after of all marketing: word of mouth.
If your guests have a wonderful stay at your property they’re bound to tell their friends about it. The reverse is true as well. If your guests find a hair in the bathtub, or old coffee grounds in the coffee maker, or something even more egregious, they’re bound to tell their friends about that too. Or even worse, leave a permanent stain on your property in the form of a bad review. There are thousands of little things that can be missed when cleaning your Short Term Rental, but never fear! We’re going to help you avoid them all.
Though everyone has a different idea of clean, the goal for you and your cleaner is to try to see the issue from your guest’s perspective. The aim of your cleaning crew is not to just clean to their personal liking, but to create a space that is welcoming and comfortable while relieving guests of worry so they can enjoy their stay.
Hospitality is the foundation of the STR business. Hospitality is respecting your guests. They have chosen to trust you with their hard earned money and their vacation time. It is an honor to be a host. You may be helping to create memories that will last a lifetime. Your hospitality can make their stay a memorable experience or a disappointment.
Owner, Manager, Cleaner - all need to be on the same page - with expectations- balancing costs with a well-maintained property for your guest. If your attention to your guest’s comfort and the cleanliness of your place is obvious, it will go a long way towards the guest excusing a possible overlooked crumb or smudge. So without further ado let's dive into the best practices for keeping your STR sparkling and your guests happy and leaving five star reviews.
