Material-Specific Cleaning

Different surfaces require different cleaning techniques and products. When wiping surfaces, it’s important to consider the material being cleaned. Common surfaces in rental accommodation include countertops, tables, shelves, furniture, appliances, mirrors, glass and other hard surfaces. Use cleaning solutions or disinfectants that are appropriate for the surface to achieve effective cleaning.

Dust Removal

Wiping surfaces often starts with removing loose dust and debris with a duster or microfiber cloth. This step helps to avoid smearing or spreading dirt during the wiping process. Dusting should be done from top to bottom, starting with higher surfaces and working down.

Detergent or Disinfectant

Depending on the surface and the desired level of cleanliness, a cleaning solution or disinfectant can be used. Apply the solution to the cloth or disposable wipe, taking care not to over-wet the cloth or wipe to avoid damaging the surface or leaving streaks.

Wiping Technique

When wiping surfaces, use smooth and even motions. It is generally recommended to wipe in straight lines rather than circular motions for a more even and streak-free result. Pay attention to corners, edges and hard-to-reach areas.

High-Touch Surfaces

Prioritise wiping high-touch surfaces such as doorknobs, light switches, remote controls and handles. These areas tend to accumulate more dirt and bacteria due to frequent contact. Regular wiping and disinfecting of these surfaces helps to minimise the risk of spreading germs.

Glass and Mirrors

For glass surfaces and mirrors, use a suitable glass cleaner or a mixture of water and vinegar to achieve a streak-free shine. Spray the cleaner onto the cloth or directly onto the surface, and then wipe in a vertical or horizontal motion until the surface is clean and clear.

Cleaning Routine

Surface wiping should be carried out regularly as part of the cleaning routine in short-term rental accommodation. The frequency may vary depending on guest turnover and occupancy. Regular wiping helps maintain cleanliness and ensures a visually appealing environment for incoming guests.

Attention to Detail

Pay attention to detail and ensure surfaces are wiped thoroughly. Check for any missed stains, streaks or smudges and re-wipe as necessary. A keen eye for detail will help achieve higher levels of cleanliness and guest satisfaction.

Surface Wiping Techniques

By incorporating effective surface-wiping techniques into the cleaning process, short-term rental properties can provide guests with a clean and comfortable environment. Regular and thorough surface wiping helps maintain cleanliness, prevents the build-up of dirt and dust, and contributes to a positive guest experience.
