Prepare Your Rental for the Season: Deep Clean

It’s sometimes impossible to do a deep clean between guests but doing one before the busy rental season is always a must. Vacation rentals go through their share of wear and tear with all the back to back turnovers and guests coming and going. Deep cleaning allows you to really focus on the things that can’t be addressed in the regular cleanings between guests. Whether you do it yourself or hire professionals here are some of our favorite deep cleaning tips.

Declutter Time

Out with the old and in with the new. Use this time to discard any worn or broken items and replace where necessary. declutter and remove any unnecessary items because often times less is more. Decluttering makes deep cleaning easier and seeing those tidy surfaces can help boost your motivation to keep going.

Start High and Go Low

Dust falls to the floor during cleaning, so start high and work your way down. Tackle hard to reach surfaces starting with the ceiling, light fixtures, ceiling fans, walls, the rest of the trim, and baseboards. Starting high with cleaning means you are less likely to miss something.

Don't Forget Windows

Windows are a large area of your rental that require extra attention. It’s an important step that can affect the overall lighting and brightness in your room. Dirty windows are noticeable and have an effect on the overall lighting in the room. Start by vacuuming the sills and tracks then clean the windows with some glass cleaner.

Finish with Floors

While your floors get lots of cleaning on a regular basis, there are many spots that can build up dirt, dust and pet hair that may need a thorough cleaning too. Vacuum and wash your floors, making sure to move all furniture to clean underneath. Don’t forget about vacuuming the corners and baseboard. To mop, use a mixture of mild soap and warm water then soak up any dampness with a microfiber cloth.

Prepare Your Rental for the Season: With a Pop of Color

It’s crazy to think that another year has already come and gone. The start of the new year is the perfect time to get your vacation rental ready! We don’t always have time or money for a full makeover of our homes. However, there are simple and creative ways you can use color to freshen up your space so it feels almost like an entire makeover. We all need a little color in our lives. Color can give you a sense of place, along with telling a story. Read on for our 5 favorite tips to freshen up your home, purely with the use of color.

Throw on the color

Pillows, throws, and blankets aren’t just for the bedrooms anymore. Add an easy burst of color with any of these strategically placed and chosen. They are a quick and inexpensive way to add not only color but depth and and coziness to a room.

Paint a wall

Not sure if you want to commit to painting all the walls inside your home? Accent walls are an easy way to add a pop of color to a room without the full commitment.

Repaint the front door

Why not start with a good first impression and wow visitors before they even step foot into your home. After all, your front door should be welcoming and inviting and what better way than to add a pop of color to it.

Light up a new lamp

Adding a lamp is another inexpensive way to incoporate color into your home. A colorful or fun lamp adds personality along with bringing more light into the room.

Hang Artwork

A few colored paintings, posters or photographs will do the trick. Hanging art on your walls will not only give your walls an instant pop of color, but the paintings will add another layer of texture and dimension to the room.
