I have a lovely couple who booked my space for the week of their wedding, and requested a clean on their wedding day, so they could come back to a fresh space for their special night. They offered to pay an additional cleaning fee, which we do charge per stay.
My housekeeper said it was a little intense. She hadn’t cleaned during a guests’ stay before. It was quite a bit of extra work, tidying up their things, using extra caution handling their belongings safely. She did a beautiful job, imo, and deserved the additional $ she charged me to perform it.
I plan to pass the additional charge along to the guest. They have another 2 nights with us. When is the appropriate time to add the charge and describe why it it is a little more than our advertised cleaning fee between guests? Somehow, it doesn’t seem right to spring it on them on their wedding night. But the sooner the better, surely.
Opinions and experiences please! Thanks in advance!
