Professional carpet cleaning for Airbnbs in Canterbury

While the tourist season may be slowing, if you are a landlord of Airbnb-style accommodation, the hard work continues. Cleaning and maintaining properties is both time consuming and vital. With turnaround times being as short as 24 hours having a streamlined cleaning process is essential.

The ease of booking a short stay online makes staying in Canterbury a breeze, but so too is the ability for visitors to leave a negative review. The most common complaints about Airbnb properties concern cleanliness which is no surprise when guests are charged a cleaning fee with their booking. So how can you keep on top of keeping your rental property’s carpets and upholstery clean?

Schedule a deep clean

While routine cleaning is completed between guests departing and new ones arriving, a deep clean of carpets is recommended every three months, and sofa cleaning every six. Scheduling a deep clean is essential maintenance for short term lets, for cleanliness and hygiene but also to extend the lifespan of the furniture and carpets.

Factors that influence the timescale of a deep clean:

The occupancy levels of the property
The efficiency of your routine cleaning
The location of your property (for example, sand is very damaging to carpets)
The type and colours of carpets and fabrics
Seasonal environmental conditions (wet and damp, or dry and dusty)

The process Christchurch Carpet Cleaning uses eradicates mould spores, flea eggs and dust mites routine cleaning can’t. Entrenched dirt, stains, bacteria and odours are eliminated, so your property doesn’t just smell clean and fresh it really is.
