Keeping a spotless vacation rental is important to impress your guests. In this blog post we will share with our friends at Orbirental seven handy vacation rental cleaning hacks that’ll make your rental shine!

1.) Start high
A smart place to start is with tall pieces of furniture. This way when you dust tall furniture, the dust does not dirty your previously cleaned floor.

2.) Ice cubes to remove wrinkles
A quick fix for wrinkled sheets is ice cubes and some heat. By putting sheets in the microwave with ice cubes for about 5 minutes, you will have perfectly steamed linens.

3.) Don’t let carpet stains sit
Keep stain remover handy between guest visits to avoid long-term stains on your carpet! Unbelievable is my secret weapon for any carpet stains.

**4.) Avoid harmful products **
Be conscious of the products you are using for sensitive amenities such as hardwood and marble. Do your research on the right product, and be sure to avoid any products with bleach or acid.

5.) Vinegar for hard water stains
Vinegar is a great way to remove those pesky water stains. Simply put a small amount of vinegar on a wet wash cloth, and wrap it around the water stained area, for example a shower head.

6.) Make a Checklist
Whether you are doing the cleaning or hired a cleaner to clean your vacation rental, making a checklist ahead of time is very beneficial. With your busy schedule, it is easy to forget to take care of some important tasks for cleaning. Making a set checklist for your cleanings will solve this issue. If you have hired a vacation rental cleaner then a checklist is very important so that the cleaner knows exactly what you would like done for your property.

7.) Automate your turnovers
Vacation rental turnovers can be hard to keep track of, considering the inconsistent checkout dates of guests. This process can be made easy by using free software to sync your rental calendar with your cleaners calendar, so that cleaners can see when there are upcoming when upcoming turnovers. This free software can be found at TurnoverBnB.

TurnoverBnB is a new global platform based in Hawaii, connecting house keepers and Airbnb hosts. We at TurnoverBnB created a free software tool that allows hosts to automatically schedule their cleaners for upcoming turnovers. The software syncs with your vacation rental calendar and automatically alerts your cleaners to new projects.
