Thank you so much for this information.
Definitely a useful post. I will take a try to start my list. Thanks.
This is what Iām using, too!
Me too! Sure beats ironing or steaming the edges of the sheets/pillow cases.
OMG! Thank goodness - says a lot about the product - that could have been a really bad one.
Iāve found Folex to be amazing for upholstery. Works miracles. Make sure to follow instructions on the back (eg. blot donāt wipe.)
Was ist das? Ich kann nicht sehen.
I use non-fragrance detergent and no fabric softener. But I have a spray bottle with epsom salts, water and 10 drops each of geranium and lavender. I spray around the place and it gives a nice gentle, soothing scent. No one has complained as itās not strong. Thatās my air freshener! (I even spray the artificial flower in the bathroom)
Ooh, this mix sounds wonderful. Iām going to try at our home first and then the vacation home. Thx for sharing!
Itās great that no guests have complained, but I happen to hate the smell of lavender, and I had a guest who told me she also hated it.
What is a pleasant smell to one person may be an objectionable smell to another. There are no universally appreciated scents so I just try to keep my rental space fragrance-free.
I sniffed a lot of smells to get to that one. Used the lavender and geranium on an old sock with a ball inside and vinegar in the dryer as well.
Oh, thatās unfortunate. I would have thought it was fairly universal. (Itās more geranium than lavender) Let me know if youāre coming to the Old Schoolhouse in Wexford Ireland and Iāll leave it out!
Hey!
I would like to connect and ask you some questions about your service.
Over the years, we accrued a number of hacks to keep it clean.
- Paint everything white. Itās a quick fix, and it looks great.
- Spray 9. Then get the heck out and leave the windows open.
- Bleach. And more bleach.
- A dyson vac.
- When in doubt, windex.
- Brillo pads
- A dishwasher. Includes some interesting things.
- A power washer. You may never use it. But itās great fun.
- Bed bug covers.
- Pine Sol. It Smells clean.
On a big turnaround day, I could literally walk 2.5 miles just cleaning. Truth is, I just got tired. Airbnb has shown me how to run an exceptionally clean house.
What I appreciate today are the little things. Someone unloads the dishwasher. Someone sweeps the floor. Itās the 5 percenters that keep me going.
I am a brand new host. I had my first guest just leave and I havenāt even gone to see how it is. However, I know i need some extra sheets. I like cotton sheets and am so afraid of sheets pilling or being really hot. I see that you have recommended these sheets. How long have you had them?
Amazing post! I will definitely order some of the items in this listing thanks a lot Alex but who achieves an ISO Certification in Bahrain with certivatic only because then those products are genuine products so I prefer those products always.
I sprinkle peppermint oil on the vents and spritz it into crevices (old house)ā no spiders and always Christmas!
this thread is really helpful!
It is! The recommendations are important for some who are just starting
Iām new to hosting, and this list is incredibly helpful!! I want to make my place as sustainable as possible and iām wondering if anyone has any tips or resources? Iām providing as much reusable products and non plastic items as I can such as kitchen supplies (beeswax wraps, disposable bamboo cutlery, reusable bags, compost bin) and bathroom products. But Iām wondering if anyone has any extra hacks to make my place more sustainable/eco friendly resources or ideas? Thanks everyone!!!
