First week if August…which means rental properties are starting to feel a bit run down.
The cleaners work hard at change over to prepare the property for the next guest. Â However, there are several areas that definitely need attention by August (and are not part of the typical change over cleaning).
It’s helpful if a property owner stops by once or twice a season to assist with the “extras”:
1) Gas grill- the tenants may be willing to scrub the grates with a wire brush, but no one bothers to empty the grease pan underneath. Marinades and meat drippings eventually become a serious fire hazard.
2) Ceiling fans.
3) Return vents and HVAC filters.
4) Outside showers- toss the used soap and scrub the mildew.
5) Deck furniture, and any outside living space- the cleaners don’t sweep outside or wipe off tables, etc. Â While there, clean the outside of the sliding glass doors, too.
6) Bathroom drawers- the cleaners may not open the drawers or cabinets in the bathrooms (remnants of hair brush and make-up storage).
7) Trash cans- after weeks of take out seafood and pizza boxes, the cans could use a good rinse with the hose!
