What’s Under the Bed?

When was the last time you checked under the beds in your vacation rental home or cottage?

Did you check the bathroom cabinet; the dresser drawers and the shelf in the nightstand?

I hope it was on the last changeover day. If not, how do you know what your last guests left behind. Dust bunnies and candy wrappers; used Kleenex and items of clothing; medications and empty shampoo bottles are just a few of the things you might find. Others I will leave to your imagination but trust me…if you aren’t looking, your next guests are.

Never underestimate how important it is to do a thorough check on each changeover and using a checklist can be the best way to ensure nothing is missed. Reminding your caretaker or cleaning team to do this can save you from complaints, negative and damaging reviews and feedback you would prefer not to have.
