Thanks for sharing this tip @Robert9476. How do you manage dust in general? What do you use to remove it, and how often do you dust—after every stay?

Hi , these are my go to Tips: first of all consistency is everything for me. I follow the same structured routine after every guest so nothing gets missed.

One thing that’s easy to overlook: always check under the shower drain cover 

And before I start cleaning the bathroom, I always vacuum first especially to catch all the hair. Because if i don’t they go everywhere 😮‍💨

Hello @Anja1818, thanks for sharing your experience. If I understood correctly, you handled the cleaning yourself. What happens when you can’t do it? Do you have a support team? Do you give them a checklist so they don’t miss any details?

Thoroughly clean the bathroom, the dust at the bottom of the bed and on the plants, as well as animal hair

Hello @Amelie250, thanks for sharing this. Do you do the cleaning yourself after every stay?

 One of my go-to cleaning tips is to clean in layers, not rooms. I start by doing all surfaces first (dusting, wiping, disinfecting), then move to linens and laundry, and finish with floors last. It keeps everything efficient and prevents re-cleaning areas twice.

Another simple trick that makes a big difference is using white linens and towels they’re easy to sanitize and always give that fresh, hotel-quality feel guests really notice.

And my favorite finishing touch: a quick walk-through right before check-in. I open windows if possible, adjust lighting, and make sure everything feels fresh and welcoming. It’s those little details that turn a clean space into a memorable stay ✨

This is amazing @Annette1137 thank you so much for sharing these wonderful tips, Annette. Do you always do the cleaning routine yourself?

All of what the community said is 100% correct and I'll put in for me, 4 freshly ironed pillow cases for each bed and... check, check double check for not only hairs but eyelashes in bed and baths.  If you have glass showers like me, clean like a skyscraper person,  towel on the floor, wet cloth/scrubber with some vinegar and dishsoap and a pro squeege (find a bonifide janitor store).

Hi @Paula  - love a good cleaning tip. Here for the ideas!

Our tip: dust, vacuum or wash the backs  and underside of furniture occasionally. Gunk, debris, dust, pet hair builds up. Our king and queen beds are extremely heavy and so moving them to get in back of the headboard takes effort and multiple people to move so we try to make sure we plan accordingly, the rest of the stuff one person can manage as needed.
