Have you ever walked into a room that instantly put a smile on your face and enhanced your mood? We have, too. You may not realize it, but a professional Airbnb cleaning can affect your guests more than you may think.

How a room looks, feels, and smells will almost always affect your emotions in some way – either positively or negatively. Picture this: remember a time when you walked into a home with a freshly baked Christmas ham or the smell of hot cookies just pulled from the oven.

The smell alone most likely changed your mood, or perhaps it was also the space’s decor, tidiness, and overall sense of cleanliness. A clean space allows you and your loved ones to feel more comfortable and create memories.

In our society today, not much has changed. So how do we help control our guests’ feelings by managing the spaces around us? Let’s explore the four key feelings below and find out how hiring a professional Airbnb cleaning service can benefit you.

1) Relaxation

When we come home to a clean, clutter-free house, it’s safe to say we typically feel a sense of relaxation.

Some may find it time-consuming to pick up all the little things that get tossed to the wayside due to the demands of life. This is the start of clutter accumulation that typically leads to unnecessary stress, whether we realize it or not. When there is clutter in our homes, we have stress and unrest in our minds.

This is where a professional Airbnb cleaning service comes in. They will pick up the clutter for you and wipe away the mess. In a matter of minutes, you can schedule your stress away – and you can feel good about it knowing your home is in the hands of the professionals.

In a clean space, guests feel a sense of relaxation.

2) Peacefulness

Whether it is due to Covid-19, work, or relationships, we experience stress in many forms. Your vacation rental should offer guests a place of refuge and recovery.

In a clean space, you will have the opportunity to add decor to reflect a peaceful home, right in line with your style.

Here are some ways you can add an element of peace into your vacation rental. Add a water feature, recommend a relaxing music playlist or even have soft music playing when guests check-in. Consider offering yoga mats for guests to use during their stay.

How you organize your furniture is also important. Look into the feng shui methods you can integrate into your vacation rental to make it even more peaceful.

With proper Airbnb cleaning your guests will feel a sense of peace.

3) Warmth

Home-cooked meals instantly bring a sense of warmth to your space that is truly hard to replicate at any restaurant. Create a cooking environment your guests will feel comfortable sharing a meal together. Whether baking cookies with the kids or preparing a full Thanksgiving feast, guests will appreciate a fully functioning kitchen that is spotless.

When dishes are left dirty in the sink, remnants of leftover food spoils on the counters or expired food in the refrigerator, it’s hard to focus on making a meal.

Turno makes it easy to find a cleaner for your Airbnb and schedule all of your cleanings synced directly from your booking calendar.

Bringing people together to enjoy a meal together brings a sense of warmth into a home. Help your guests create lasting memories from their stay by setting the scene with a clean kitchen and dining area.

4) Scent

After reviewing how to create a sense of relaxation, peacefulness, and warmth within your rental property, let’s now focus on our sense of smell.

Think about how things smell when you walk into a room. When a room is freshly cleaned it serves as a blank canvas for any additional scents to be added. This can be in the form of lighting candles, using an air diffuser, or even the delicious aroma of a home-cooked meal.

Attempting to cover up strong, unpleasant odors with a room spray or candle just doesn’t cut it. Having your vacation rental property regularly cleaned in between guests will allow you to spend more time focusing on your business and less time worrying about whether your rental has been cleaned thoroughly.

By following these tips to help trigger your guests’ senses from the first time they walk through the door, you will be on track to creating a comfortable atmosphere for them to enjoy their stay.

It all starts with a clean space.

Once your guests enter your property, the effects of a professional clean will instantly kick in by creating a sense of peace and relaxation to carry with them throughout their vacation.

Finding the right professional Airbnb cleaning service to fit your property’s needs is the first step to setting your business on autopilot.
