Spring is here, and while Lake Tahoe is stunning all year round, we all know that winter can leave a little… well, stuffbehind. Whether it’s dirt from the ski slopes or just the aftermath of a busy rental season, your short-term rental needs a little TLC.
But don’t worry—I’ve got you covered with these cleaning hacks to make your place sparkle, without all the elbow grease. Let’s dive in!
1. The Power of Vinegar
Forget about those harsh chemicals! For a natural and effective cleaner, vinegar is your best friend. Mix a little with water to create a powerhouse solution that can tackle everything from countertops to windows. The best part? It won’t leave a strong smell—just fresh, clean air to greet your guests.
Important Note: Vinegar is effective, but it can be abrasive on certain surfaces, especially natural stone. Be careful with surfaces like granite, marble, or limestone—vinegar can etch these materials and leave lasting damage. Stick to using it on glass, countertops, or ceramic tiles to be safe.
2. Vacuuming + Pet Hair = No Problem
Lake Tahoe attracts outdoor lovers, but it also means a lot of four-legged visitors. If your rental is pet-friendly, you’re probably dealing with pet hair everywhere. No need to panic! Use a lint roller or a rubber glove (yep, you heard that right!) to quickly remove hair from furniture and carpets. Trust me, your guests will thank you.
3. Fluff Those Pillows
It’s amazing how quickly pillows lose their fluff, especially after hosting guests who want a cozy, restful night. Here’s a quick hack: throw your pillows in the dryer for 10 minutes with a tennis ball. It fluffs them right up, and you’re back to hosting in style.
4. Refresh the Bathrooms with DIY Air Fresheners
Bathrooms are one of the first things guests notice, so make sure they smell fresh! Fill a small jar with baking soda, a few drops of your favorite essential oil, and place it in the bathroom. It’s an easy DIY air freshener that will keep your rental smelling wonderful. Dollar Tree at round hill has lots of choices for jars and containers that are cute too.
5. Take Care of the Outdoors Too!
We all know Lake Tahoe has some incredible scenery. But, let’s face it, you need to make sure the outside of your rental is just as inviting as the inside. Sweep off or blow off the deck, wipe down outdoor furniture, and throw a cozy blanket on the porch chair. The mountain views are great, but comfort matters too.
