Weekend use close up
Quick self-clean after weekend stay:
- Quick wipe down stove, kitchen counter/sink, bathroom sink, faucets, toilet.
- Rinse bathtub and shower
- Close windows.
- Vacuum by front door if there are a lot of pine needles etc tracked in.
- Vacuum or sweep kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms if there is visible crumbs, dirt, etc.
- Put away anything that looks like food. Bears will supposedly look in windows and can recognize a package of oreos.
- Replace staples (dishwasher detergent, toilet paper, ...) or if you are strapped for time send e-mail to the next person so they can pick them up on the way up.
- Wash bathroom mats if dirty. OK to leave in dryer.
- Empty fire pit thingy on deck an place on side so it doesn't collect rain
- Lock our personal cabintes.
- Leave a mostly empty shelf or two in the pantry for the next user.
Call Merlenie once a month if it hasen't been cleaned because of a rental.
