7 Airbnb Cleaning Hacks You Need to Know
1. Always start the dusting from
higher pieces of furniture.
.
As you’re cleaning, from the beginning, you need to take off the dust from higher stuff. In other words, put everything on the floor. Then when you vacuum or mop the floor, everything is collected at once.
2. Dish soap is a magic product!
You can almost clean the whole house with some warm water, a few drops of dish soap, and a soft sponge. The pros are that it is very cheap and easy to find, and its acidity is very low, so it’s safe to apply on many substances. The con is that you’ll have to wash it and dry afterward. If you leave it to dry, it can leave surfaces a bit sticky.
3. Avoid regular floor products
on wooden floor
Wood can be very sensitive, especially dark, precious wood. You should not use your regular floor cleaning liquid, especially not bleach. We strongly recommend to use a proper wood polish, or just mop it with a dry and soft piece of cloth.
4. There IS an easy way to clean a
microwave
Very simple: fill a mug with water and heat it in the microwave for 3-4 minutes, open the door and simply swipe. Add a few drops of dish soap to the water for an even better result.
5. Be aware of guests allergies
Avoid hard bleach or really high chemical products and go for pH softer things, green products, or natural stuff. And for fresheners, do not empty the spray bottle each time a Guest is arriving. Use incenses, candles, or simply flowers! By the way, flowers bring a very positive touch to the whole experience.
6. Stickers and more
What a pain it can be when you have a whole bunch of old stickers to remove from the fridge. A pretty simple solution: use benzine. Next time you go to the gas station, collect some gas in a sealed bottle. Simply apply a few drops or a paper and scrub the stickers, it’ll go off very easily.
7. Follow the walls!
An efficient way to tackle the cleaning in your property is by applying the “follow the walls” rule in the image above.
