I seem to be having a bad run!

Ah yes, the black light thread. That was so much fun, people have no idea! BTW, not everything that lights up with a black light is a bodily fluid so the spots on the throw could be something else. That said, that’s why people wash all the cloth items that people touch every time. I’d do away with the throws if you aren’t going to launder them.

As for hairs, your cleaners must put sticky rollers (3m makes the brand I like) into their cleaning kit. I sticky roller before and after laundering because hair will stick to the linens through the wash and dry cycles. And because I always have dog hair on me I can be making the bed and a hair will appear where there wasn’t one. The last thing a guest wants to see when they pull up the covers to their face at night it another person’s hair.

The drains. Drains are gross. I remove the cover to my shower drain and clear of hair every few stays. Yes if you shine a light down it you can see hair and I don’t want my guests to see anyone’s hair but their own.

Another thing I recommend it a headlamp, the kind with an elastic strap around your head. Once you get bright light on things (obviously as the guest did) you will see things that you normally miss. This is especially true as you age so if your cleaners are over 40…

My other weapons are magic eraser “sponges” They are a melamine abrasive so will scratch a soft surface if you use it too vigorously. I use those and a microfiber cloth for polishing stainless steel, not any of those greasy polishes that just make it worse. They are also great for countertops, floors, grout, mirrors, …Get one and go into a freshly cleaned floor and scrub. I’ll be surprised if you don’t find it gray with dirty residue.

Here are a couple of the threads that discussed things mentioned above. We have had multiple threads with great cleaning tips, use search to find them.
