Your Jersey Shore Rentals Cleaning Checklists

The Spic and Span Details Matter

As a Jersey Shore rental host, keeping your space clean and tidy is important for several reasons. It will make your renters happy. A spotless vacation rental is more inviting and comfortable to vacationers. It is absolutely necessary in order to earn positive online reviews. A well maintained rental reflects your professional brand as a vacation rental host.

Positive Reviews are Crucial

Positive reviews for your NJ shore rentals are crucial for attracting new bookings. The way you clean your vacation rental may be much different than the way you clean your home. The expectations are much higher for a sparkly clean stay when traveling.

In addition to a deep clean before each guest arrives, it’s also important to prioritize light cleanings when your home is vacant. This includes making the beds, doing the dishes, wiping down surfaces, and refilling empties. By taking care of the little things daily while your rental isn’t booked, you can prevent bigger messes from forming.

It is also a great idea to have some basic cleaning supplies on hand in case of any accidents or spills during your guest’s stay. This way, they can take care of the problem right away and help keep your rental tidy during their stay.

Comfort and Cleanliness

The comfort of your guests begins and end with the cleanliness of your rental. The fine details of a well-kept vacation rental include clean smelling linens, freshly dusted decor, and aesthetic vacuum lines in the carpet make guests feel welcome from the moment they walk in the door to the moment they check-out.

There is nothing worse than feeling like your stay is unhygienic and dirty! Be sure that high expectations are met with your guest by utilizing our Cleaning Checklists. Contact us to request our Cleaning Checklist, Pre-Stay Checklist, and Post-Stay Checklist.
