Key takeaways

What to know before booking

  • Plan a pre-season deep clean and a post-peak reset.
  • Check carpets, upholstery and windows before the season starts.
  • Ensure linen, consumables and emergency spares are in place.

Guide section 1

Pre-season deep clean

Schedule a thorough deep clean before guests arrive en masse: kitchens, bathrooms, carpets, upholstery and windows benefit from focused attention when time allows.

Guide section 2

Carpets, upholstery and windows

  • Inspect carpets and arrange professional cleaning if needed.
  • Check upholstery for staining and plan replacements or professional cleaning where necessary.
  • Clean internal windows and sills for better presentation in photos.

Guide section 3

Linen stock and consumables

Increase buffer stock for peak season and confirm laundry turnaround capacity. Stock extra consumables and make a clear plan for restocking during busy runs.

Guide section 4

Maintenance coordination and photography

Fix small maintenance issues before guests arrive and update photos to reflect the property condition. Good photography reduces guest queries and improves booking confidence.

Frequently asked questions

When should I schedule a pre-season deep clean?

+
