Spring Cleaning Your Vacation Rental
Spring has often been the proverbial default time to do a little house cleaning, why should your vacation property be any different? The weather has heated up, and after surviving the winter most homes, condos and cabins could use a little cleaning. (Do we have cabins on CoastRentals? Guess that’s more of a Lake thing).
The best course of action is to make a simple checklist that lists everything out 1-by-1 that needs to be cleaned and/or checked for maintenance. While it’s obvious that floors need to be swept and scrubbed, and the bathroom probably needs some attention, property owners should also make time to check smoke detectors and to clean out furnace ducts. Do you have a fireplace? Spring is a great time to get all the ashes out of that sucker.
And what about your exterior? Limbs of trees and bushes may need to be checked, paint may have faded or been chipped, and window screens may have taken a beating in the wintertime. As the good weather rolls in, you want all of your visitors to see the best presentation of your property possible - cause hopefully they’ll be coming back next year.
More than anything, there has to be some time of year to make sure that your property is all ship shape. While week-to-week cleaning services are necessary, nothing beats the keen eye of a property owner when it comes to catching the little things. Grab some rubber gloves and get to!
