@Virginia176,
I understand your point of view, and believe the ability to adhere to the cleaning protocol is greatly dependent upon the space size and the type of furnishings within it. Hosts who have smaller places may be able to attain the recommended steps with less difficulty than those with larger accommodations. My Atlanta apartment has only three windows and a set of french doors. Since we will not always be cleaning our place, and we wanted to make it easier for the cleaner to follow the protocol, we replaced the blinds with sheer curtains that can be removed when washing is required. We are going to use fabric disinfectant spray on the room darkening curtains, because they require dry-cleaning.
We removed kitchen items that were rarely used, such as the waffle maker, food processor, the regular coffee maker, and the extra kitchen towels and mittens. There are still sufficient culinary gadgets to comfortably cook meals, diningware for four place settings, and an eight piece cookware set. What's left can be washed in 2 dishwasher cycles, or within 20 minutes if washed by hand. There are plenty of items that are not dishwasher safe.
It's impractical, and potentially damaging to wash the walls with soap and water as suggested. We will wipe ours down with a mop dedicated for the walls that is dampened with lightly soaped water, and then spray disinfectant towards the walls. The handbooks has guidelines for vacuuming rugs and carpets, and spot cleaning any visible dirt, but it doesn't state that they have to be washed.
I agree that disposable gloves are not resourceful, nor required. The CDC states that disposable or reusable gloves should be worn while cleaning and disinfecting. The Airbnb handbook should just stress that the gloves should be changed or cleaned in-between the cleaning and disinfecting tasks. Which is what we will do.
