The Little Things Guests Notice 

When guests arrive at your vacation rental, they expect one thing above all else: a spotless, welcoming home. A clean vacation house can make guests feel comfortable and excited about their stay. But even the smallest overlooked mess can leave a lasting impression and potentially lead to a bad review.

If you don’t inspect your property carefully and regularly, you may be missing the little things that can seriously gross out your guests when they see or smell them.

 

Don’t Let These Cleaning Details Get Overlooked!

Here are some areas that deserve extra attention between every guest:

  • Dirty security and lock keypads: One of the first things your guests touch should be clean!
  • Dirty light switches: Fingerprints, grime, and buildup are easy to overlook.
  • Hair on the bed: Nothing makes a guest question cleanliness faster than finding hair in their freshly made bed.
  • Dirty baseboards: Dust and dirt along the edges can make an otherwise clean room look neglected.
  • Sticky chair backs: Guests touch these more often than you might think.
  • Dirty remotes: Remote controls can collect fingerprints, dust, and grime.
  • Crumbs down the side of the couch: Don’t forget to check those hard-to-reach spaces!
  • Dusty or greasy blinds: A quick glance may not reveal the buildup, but guests will notice.
  • Hair in the drain: This is a major “ick” factor for guests.
  • Stained towels: Even if they’re technically clean, stains can make guests uncomfortable.
  • Dirty towel racks: Dust, hair, and grime can easily collect here.
  • Unwashed coffee pots: Leftover coffee residue and buildup can create an unpleasant experience.
  • Smudges on glasses: Guests expect dishes and glassware to be spotless.
  • A smelly trash bin: Lingering odors can quickly make an entire space feel unclean.
  • Lint in the dryer: Don’t forget the laundry area! A clean lint trap is an important part of preparing your rental.

Your Guests Notice the Details

You may walk through your property every day and stop seeing the little things. Your guests won’t. They’re seeing your rental with fresh eyes, and they’re paying attention to the details. A hair on the bed, a sticky surface, a smelly trash can, or a dirty remote can make them wonder what else wasn’t cleaned.

And when you’re competing for five-star reviews, those little details matter.
