Ughh!!!! My last guest(s) smoked weed during their stay in our listing. Our listing policies clearly stated no smoking in unit and or surrounding areas. Now the unit has a lingering marijuana odor. My next guest are due to check-in in less than 30 hrs.
I did detect the smell during my last guest stay and reached out to them inquiring if something had burned (food in microwave..etc..). The odor was coming into the garage (garage shares a wall with the unit). I reminded the guest that there is no smoking, no exceptions as stated in our listing house rules. Guest stated they burned popcorn in the microwave etc... and fully aware/repectful of the house rules. I gave them the benefit of the doubt. But then I smelled it again the following day. I went back to my cameras (yes, they are properly disclosed per Airbnb guidelines) and noticed the guest(s) lighting up just outside the unit at 12:22 a.m..
They checked out early in the morning and when I went to check on unit the first thing that hits you is the marijuana odor. It's not burnt popcorn. I know the difference (I had teenage boys that dabbled in weed so I am familiar with the smell/scent).
We opened up windows, have the ceiling fan going, and have set out bowls of vinegar in hopes of eliminating the odor before our next guest arrive. Surprisingly, they did leave the unit clean 😏.
Anyone have any suggestions??
