Short Term Rental Cleaning Services and sanitary are two entirely different things. No vacation rental will be completely sanitary but many steps can be taken to ensure that guests are as protected as possible.

Vacation rentals such as cabins are often located in areas that are surrounded by woods where bugs and pests are hard to avoid. Gravel roads create a lot of dust that can get into the cabin via air or tracked in on shoes. Some of this dust is unavoidable but there should be very little. The same it true of sand in beach locations. Small amounts of dust or sand are to be expected.

• Mattresses should have waterproof mattress cover and those covers should be clean. Waterproof mattress covers can be plastic or cloth and will be marked as waterproof.

• Pillows should be covered with plastic or cloth pillow protectors. A pillow protector is placed over the pillow and then the pillowcase is placed on top of the pillow protector.

• The hot tub water should be clear with no residue or scum visible along the edges. The hot tub should be warm (85-100). You should be provided enough shock to put in the spa after each use or at least one per day. There should be a bromine floater in the hot tub. A bromine floater will usually be a grey floating device easily spotted in the tub.

• The refrigerator should be empty and spotless. The ice in the icemaker should not have any odor and the icemaker should be turned on. Just to be safe it never hurts to empty the ice and let the icemaker make fresh ice. There should be no odor in the refrigerator.

• Glasses, dishware, silverware, pots, and pans should all be clean and neatly put away. All dishes, pots, pan, silverware, bake ware should be in good shape. Glassware should not have any chips.

Along with the 5 suggestions listed above. Make sure ceiling fans, baseboards, and the corners of the floor are clean. You will never find perfection in a vacation rental but you can find very high standards. If you come across some issues notify the rental agent or the owner and allow them time to correct the problem to your satisfaction. Remember many vacation rentals are rented by the owner so they do not have a staff that can address everything in a matter of minutes. That said, a good vacation rental owner or manager should address your issues as promptly as possible.
