Currently hosting the most clean and tidy guests I've ever had...

[Huaai0]

I joined Airbnb as a host last November. Currently I'm hosting the most clean and tidy guests I have ever had. The two guests are a mother and her teenage daughter from China. 

Before they checked in, I sent them "Things to know," "House Rules and House Etiquette," and "Frequently Asked Questions," and reminded them to read all of them carefully when it was close to their check-in date. On the day they checked in, I gave them an on-site orientation. They listened carefully and swore to me that they would follow all the rules.

Previous female guests left so much long fallen hair everywhere especially after brushing or combing their hair, on the bathroom floor, bedroom floor, on and inside of the duvet, on the pillows, on the area rugs... Trust me, your washing machine and tumbler dryer won't get rid of all of them; technically I would need to examine and remove all the hair manually.

But these two guests, both with long hair, leave not one single hair in the bathroom or in common areas. I hold my newly bought V8 Dyson vaccum cleaner and examine every corner in my house that they have been to and I find not one single hair. Yesterday morning, I saw a cluster of long fallen hair in the toilet bowl and I flushed them.  Apparently, they had cleaned the floor and collected their own fallen hair and thrown them into the toilet bowl.

I also check my kitchen after they have used it. It is spotless. 

They are the most clean and tidy guests I have ever had. Thorough communication has played an instrumental role in this. I will buy them a dessert over the weekend.

That's fabulous - perhaps you will ask her to 'police' the gentlemen guests in following the bathroom 'sit to pee' house rule.

@Rachael26 Speaking of guys' "sit-to-pee," I have asked around. Quite a few guy friends told me they do sit to pee, though one of them said it was because he had prostate problems and so he had to sit to pee. I asked all male guests to sit to pee because I detected almost undetectable urine stains on the floor and on the toilet, though I wish they were tea stains. The next person using the bathroom thus will likely leave me a 4 star re cleanliness.

@Jill22

if you are ever interested in another hosts listing practices or guides, rules etc... you may look at them yourself by clicking on the profile picture of the host, then selecting on the drop down menu the tab 'Profile', then open up the property listing title on guest reviews - that will open up the actual listing of the host and you will be able to read their descriptions, guest reviews, calendar to see how popular, star ratings etc.. as well as the 'house rules'.

Best Wishes.
