There’s more to a clean vacation rental than just nice reviews. In fact, keeping your property spotless can directly impact your revenue, reduce maintenance costs, and boost your overall return on investment.
At Leticia’s First Class Cleaning, we’ve seen firsthand how cleanliness can make or break a rental property’s performance—especially during summer.
💼 The Hidden Costs of a Messy Rental
A little dust here, some sand there… it adds up. And in the eyes of your guests, anything less than sparkling clean can cost you.
According to Airbnb, properties with 4.8 stars or higher on cleanliness earn up to 20% more in bookings. Dirty rentals don’t just lead to negative reviews—they lead to empty calendars and expensive repairs.
📈Four Ways a Clean Rental Saves You Money
More Bookings, Less Vacancy
Happy guests are repeat guests. Clean properties lead to better reviews, which means higher visibility and more reservations.
Avoid Costly Repairs
A deep clean can help you spot issues before they become big problems—like mold, leaks, or pests.
Extend the Life of Your Property
Regular cleaning preserves flooring, upholstery, kitchen appliances, and linens, reducing the need for replacements.
Charge Premium Rates
When your space feels professionally maintained, guests are willing to pay more.
💡 Pro Tip from Leticia
“If you care for your space like it’s always being watched, you’ll never worry about a last-minute booking.”
Many of our clients follow a structured schedule with our Vacation Rental Cleaning Service to keep their homes guest-ready, all season long.
At Leticia’s First Class Cleaning Inc., we don’t just clean — we fight the good fight. Every mop is a move. Every sponge is a secret weapon. And every home we enter? That’s our ring. Check out these tips.
But even champions need allies. So today, I’m stepping out of the ring for a moment to share with you a few of my most powerful, time-tested techniques to help you keep your home clean and fresh between our visits.
🛋️ Living Room: Where Dusty Doom Likes to Linger
You vacuum, you dust… and yet somehow, the fine layer of betrayal known as dust always finds a way back.
💪 Shiny Lady Technique:
Use a microfiber cloth slightly dampened with water or vinegar to wipe down surfaces — especially baseboards, electronics, and behind furniture. Bonus: Use a lint roller on lamp shades and throw pillows (it works like magic).
🧠 Let’s just say I’ve defeated Dusty Doom more times than I can count — and this move never fails.
🍳 Kitchen: Grease Reaper’s Favorite Arena
You may think your kitchen looks clean… until you look closer. Grease buildup around the stove, backsplash, and cabinet handles is the silent attack of the Grease Reaper.
💪 Shiny Lady Technique:
Mix equal parts dish soap and white vinegar in a spray bottle. Apply to greasy surfaces, let it sit 5 minutes, then wipe with a warm cloth. For deep grime, add baking soda to the mix — it’s the ultimate tag team.
👀 This combo has KO’d more kitchen chaos than I can tell you. Trust me.
🛁 Bathroom: Fungus Freak Hides Where It’s Warm
Ah, the bathroom. A place of peace… until Fungus Freak shows up uninvited in your grout, shower curtain, and corners.
💪 Shiny Lady Technique:
After every shower, squeegee the walls and leave the door open for ventilation. Wash shower curtains monthly and spray tile grout with a hydrogen peroxide + dish soap solution once a week.
🧼 Old-school? Maybe. But like any seasoned pro knows — classic moves never go out of style.
🛏️ Bedrooms: Where The Stainmaker Likes to Get Cozy
Crumbs in the bed, mystery spots on the carpet, that “something’s off” scent… yeah, The Stainmaker has been here.
💪 Shiny Lady Technique:
Vacuum mattresses monthly. Use a spray bottle with water, vinegar, and a drop of essential oil to refresh sheets and pillows. For carpet stains, blot (never rub!) with a mix of dish soap and warm water.
🛡️ The Stainmaker might show up, but he never stays long when you’ve got this trick up your sleeve.
✋ Final Tip from The Shiny Lady: Don’t Go It Alone
You’ve got tools. You’ve got tricks. But when the mess goes too far, remember: you’ve got a team.
Whether you need a deep clean, a full reset, or a champion-level finish, our crew is just a tag away. We specialize in vacation rental cleaning, full-home transformations, and post-party recoveries — no judgment, just results.
