CLEANING OF TOURIST APARTMENTS

 

The existence of tourist apartments is becoming more and more common because more and more travelers are looking to literally feel at home.

Cleaning these accommodations is somewhat more complex than that of a simple hotel room because it has more elements and rooms. For this reason, it is very important to dedicate the time necessary so that the image is adequate because people from anywhere in the world with different customs can arrive. How is the ideal cleaning of tourist apartments?

Keys for cleaning a tourist apartment

The cleaning of a tourist apartment can vary according to its characteristics and the owner's instructions, but they all have things in common. For example, it is important not to use very aggressive cleaning products, not only to avoid damaging the materials but also to not cause discomfort to certain guests who are especially sensitive to chemicals, so it is better not to use bleach.

Adequate maintenance must be carried out after each tenant, but periodically certain in-depth cleaning of bathrooms, kitchen and elements such as lamps and windows must be carried out.

It is important to take care of the odors in the apartment, since the apartment has to smell clean when the client enters the door and it is better not to use highly perfumed odors to disguise other odors, since they may not be to the liking of the clients.

Checks and Tasks

As soon as you enter the tourist apartment it is very important to do a series of checks and basic tasks. The first is to open the windows so that the rooms are ventilated and check that all the lights work.

Once this is done, you can start to check the general condition of all the electrical appliances and other elements : check the temperature of the fridge and freezer, check if the television, the dryer, the iron, the ceramic hob, the oven, the dishwasher ( check salt and rinse aid), the state of the kitchenware (plates, glasses, cutlery, pans, etc ...) all this varies depending on what the floor has.

In case any damage is found, it is very important to take pictures before touching anything to record it and notify it. This is done in case the owner has to make a complaint to the guests.

If the client has left a forgotten object, it is necessary to save and note where it has been found so that the owner can act as he considers.

Cleaning rooms

To get the rooms ready, you usually start with the most important element: the bed. Dirty sheets should be removed and the mattress protector or cover checked to be in good condition and the bed made with clean sheets.

You have to go through the closet, check the hangers and have the courtesy blanket stored in a bag. You also have to leave the baby's crib or extra bed ready if necessary. Then you have to clean the dust in general: headboard, bedside tables, table ... And review the traces of the walls, doors and mirrors.

Lastly, you need to close the windows, lower the blinds halfway, and position the curtains correctly. At this point, if necessary, towels must be provided for each guest staying next.

Cleaning living room

You can start by checking the condition of the sofa, cleaning underneath. If there is any stain on the sofa, we will clean it with a sponge and soap, if it does not disappear, we will have to change the sofa cover.

 

Then you have to remove the dust from the furniture, lamps and decorative objects. Do not forget to clean the television and controls so that everything is disinfected. Finally, it only remains to clean the tables and chairs and check that there are no traces on walls and mirrors.

Kitchen cleaning

The kitchen is the center of any home and it is also one of the epicenters that can accumulate more dirt. You have to start by removing dust and fingerprints from the furniture in general and checking the cabinets.

You cannot leave a single item dirty, you must clean the extractor hood, the ceramic hob, the refrigerator, the microwave, the washing machine, the dishwasher and disinfect the hob and sink very well. Do not forget to check that utensils and utensils are clean, if not, leave them shiny, including pans, pots and pots.

In the kitchen we must replace cloths, scouring pads, dish soap, kitchen paper and paper napkins. Finally, the garbage is emptied, the bucket is cleaned and the bag is replaced.

Bathroom cleaning

It begins by checking that all the bathroom, shower and drain taps are working and emptying the wastebasket if there is one. It is essential to clean and disinfect all sinks, toilets, taps and screen. A band will be put on the toilets that indicates that the bathroom has been disinfected, so that the client when he enters for the first time, sees that the toilet has been disinfected.

 

The tiles should also be left shiny and, occasionally, the tile joints should be checked so that they do not turn black when they accumulate mold and moisture. Do not forget to disinfect the brush, clean the mirror and finish by sweeping and mopping the floor.

In the bathroom we will place two towels per person, one large and one small. We will replace the toilet paper, hand soap and shower and the rest of the amenitis that we normally use.

Lastly, we'll scrub the entire bathroom floor.

Terrace cleaning

In tourist apartments that have a terrace or balcony, we must remove the dust, sweep and mop the floor, clean the railings, doors and other elements and remove the traces of the glass.

If there are natural plants, you also have to water them and remove dry leaves or any other type of element that looks bad.

General review

Before closing the house definitively before the next customers come in, check the doors and switches, check that there are no traces or marks on the walls, glass and mirrors and, finally, vacuum and mop and scrub the floor of the whole apartment.
