Cleaning day

I think something has gone missing or has been damaged, what do i do?

We recommend taking out insurance for your property is being used for short term stays. This can cover you for things such as malicious/accidental damage by guests, theft by a guest and much more. The housekeeper will include any noticeable damage/missing items within their comments, after which you can get in touch with your departing guests to discuss.

What happens if my guests have not left the property when the housekeeper arrives?

The housekeeper will wait 15 minutes, in which you will be charged a delay fee (please see fee schedule) the housekeeper will notify us of this and we will get in touch with you. If the housekeeper cannot gain access after 15 minutes the clean will be cancelled and a cancellation fee charged. If this happens please book a new time slot or get in touch with us.

What should i ask my guests to do prior to their departure?

  • To ensure the smooth transition of guests and housekeeping, we reccomend requesting the guests to complete the following prior to departure.

  • - Ensure the property is left in a tidy state

  • - Wash, dry and put away any dirty dishes

  • - Remove any perishable items from the fridge and pantry
