When staying in vacation rentals you have to the option of hiring a cleaning staff, especially if you are staying in a big place. You can also opt to clean your own lodgings. Most times you do not have time to clean up, especially when you are visiting the place for a short time, because family reunions and family gatherings are important aspects of life, despite hectic schedule. You can opt to hire a cleaning staff for a fee so your vacation rental home is clean all the time.
On the other hand if you prefer to clean your own vacation rental together with your family to maintain a homey atmosphere there are some tricks on how to do it fast.
First, you have to make it sure that Vacation Rentals provide cleaning implements. If there is none, you can negotiate that cleaning implements be included in the package. If it is not, you can buy a small vacuum cleaner (turbo), static dust cloth, and a cleaning car cloth, useful in different parts of the rooms. Do not forget to buy detergents, insect spray, baking soda and gloves.
Second, remind the vacation rentals maintenance to provide you with the correct number of trash bins. In places like in Asia, not all parts of the city are trained to segregate garbage. This can cause lots of insects, and pesky pests. When insects abound there are decomposing organic materials around, such as thrown food, and wet vegetable peels. Request for three bins, for plastic cans and bottles, biodegradable objects and e-trash like cds etc�
Third, if you are travelling with your family without a household staff, assigned members of the family for specific tasks. Clean at a specific time together, for example before leaving for a mountain trek all chores should be finished already. This may require a lot of discipline but this can work. Otherwise you will have to hire a nanny to help you out finish off all the cleaning. If you have your first baby, your husband has to be requested to help out in the household chores. When things gets busier hire help to keep your sanity and enjoy your vacation.
Lastly bathrooms should be kept clean and dry by providing appropriate rags for drying. Instead of leaving your bathroom wet, leave it clean and ready to use for the next person.
How to Avoid Pests and Insects in Creeping into your Vacation Rental
Pests and insects are necessary creatures needed for decomposing elements. Having pests and insects in your vacation rentals is a sign that there is decomposing stuff around the corner. Proper disposal of waste is the best way to have a clean vacation rental, even if you are far away from a clean home.
Encourage family members and friends to throw trash in the garbage. Assign somebody to throw the garbage regularly out of the unit, in the village garbage or common garbage area, where trucks collect them daily.
Unfortunately some places garbage is collected only at specified time. Seal them to keep of pesky creatures.
