Don&#8217;t let your spotless place miss out on good first impressions and positive reviews. We\u2019ve gathered an extensive checklist and professional advice from our practice in vacation rental cleaning in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Why_vacation_rental_cleaning_is_important\">Why cleaning a vacation rental is so important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to cleanliness, guests are often not prone to compromises. What&#8217;s more, when people book a vacation rental, they expect hotel-level standards at a lower price. The downside here is that an unsatisfied customer can end up with a negative review, which will cost you more than just a thorough cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, spotted cleanliness may attract more guests and 5-star reviews. And the more glowing reviews, the more bookings you\u2019ll have. Hence, you should make their experience memorable by performing complete turnover cleaning with attention to detail. The way of achieving that is to establish standards that you or your cleaning team will follow every time. Prepare yourself with a cleaning guide or checklist and a list of supplies on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Vacation_rental_cleaning_checklist\">Comprehensive vacation rental cleaning checklist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a general rule start cleaning from top to bottom. Disinfect high-traffic areas like remotes, light switches and doorknobs. Arrange all the decorations, cushions, magazines, etc. according to your unique standard for a cozy atmosphere. Also, make sure your guests are able to prepare their food and drinks and relax comfortably after their trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kitchen cleaning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bullet-list bullet-list--normal\">\n\t\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Check for and remove any cobwebs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean and disinfect countertops, cabinets, backsplash and other surfaces.

Here is some expert advice you can benefit from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Always leave adequate time between guests so that your place remains clean and tidy. Cleaning a vacation rental can take 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size and condition of the property. The longer the booking was, the messier you can expect the property to be.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stock up on home supplies like bedroom and kitchen products, linens etc. You\u2019ll save a lot of time in short-notice situations. Also, keep the products well-labelled and organised.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check for damages or tasks that will require more time to complete. Take photos of any damages. This is important to ensure that any additional costs and time are accounted for.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start by doing the laundry and loading the dishwasher, as these can take a while. Then move on to the other tasks on your to-do list. Ventilate the space while cleaning to let fresh air in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean the most difficult area first, for example, the bathroom or kitchen will need more attention. Leave the outside areas and balconies at the end.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make a final inspection for hair in the bathrooms and fingerprints on the surfaces. Guests don\u2019t like to be remembered for previous visitors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leave checkout instructions. Here are a few examples: starting the dishwasher, emptying the trash bins on the way out, checking for personal belongings, and locking when leaving.<br \/>TIP: Keep in mind that it\u2019s not a wise idea to add putting the linens in the washing machine to the checkout instructions. This is because it\u2019s good to inspect them before washing them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The cost of your time and return on investment is something to consider as well. Cleaning may not be something you particularly enjoy, but it can be made easier by delegating certain tasks to expert exit cleaners. What&#8217;s more, professionals can make your place sparkling clean from top to bottom ensuring a pleasant stay for your guests.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a mobile scheduling app to organise all events such as providing access to guests or cleaning teams, providing stocking supplies, maintenance checks etc. Even your mobile phone calendar can help you stay focused, preventing you from missing an event and disappointing your customers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t<div class=\"check-price-box\">\n\t\t<div class=\"check-price-box__body\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"check-price-box__title\">Want to make sure you\u2019ll get 5-star reviews for cleanliness?<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t<p class=\"check-price-box__desc\">Book \u0430 guaranteed vacate cleaning service with us!<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"form form--full-width form--check-price dynamic-helper\">\n    <form class=\"default-check-price-form\" action=\"\">\n        <div class=\"form__inner\">\n            <div class=\"form__field the-postfield-wrap\">\n                <span class=\"icon-holder\">\n                    <i class=\"icon-pointer\"><\/i>\n                <\/span>\n\n                <input class=\"field the-postfield\" type=\"text\" name=\"postcode-field\" placeholder=\"Enter your post code\" data-service-category=\"7\"\/>\n                <span class=\"focus-label\"><\/span>\n                <div class=\"field-error-msg\">Add a valid postcode e.g. 3000<\/div> <!-- \/.field-error-msg -->\n            <\/div> <!-- \/.form__field -->\n\n            <div class=\"form__btn submit-wrapper-with-loader active\">\n                <div class=\"load-holder-lds-eclipse\">\n                    <div class=\"load-lds-eclipse\"><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                <input class=\"btn btn--large checkpPricesSubmit\" name=\"check-prices-submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Get a quote\" rel=\"nofollow\" disabled\/>\n            <\/div> <!-- \/.form__btn -->\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.form__inner -->\n    <\/form>\n<\/div> <!-- \/.check-price-form -->\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.card-widget__body -->\n\n\t\t<div class=\"check-price-box__img\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"lazyloadImage\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/fantasticservices-com-blog\/assets\/images\/check-price-box\/gardener.png\" alt=\"Want to make sure you\u2019ll get 5-star reviews for cleanliness?\"\/><\/noscript><\/div>\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.card-widget__img -->\n\t<\/div> <!-- \/.card-widget card-widget--obf-form -->\n<\/section> <!-- \/.section section--single-post -->\n\n\n<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t<div class=\"takeaways\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"block-title\">Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\n<div class=\"bullet-list bullet-list--normal\">\n\t\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Follow a checklist when cleaning and don\u2019t miss the final inspection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always leave enough time between guests and hire a professional cleaning team when needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start by loading the dishwasher and doing the laundry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stay organised by using scheduling tools or your mobile phone calendar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div> <!-- \/.bullet-list -->\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section> <!-- \/.section section--single-post -->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>We hope this article will help you make your guests satisfied.
