The start of a New Year in Lake Tahoe usually means two things: fresh powder on the slopes and a chance to reset your home. Whether you own a primary residence in Truckee or manage a luxury rental in Incline Village, your home works hard during the winter.

Between the wood-burning fireplaces, the ice melt and sand tracked in from the roads, and the heavy snow loads, a “standard clean” isn’t enough. This year, resolve to give your property the extraordinary care it deserves.

1. Resolve to Go Beyond the Surface

Standard dusting is great, but Lake Tahoe homes face unique challenges. Pine needles hide in the deepest carpet fibers, and soot from your cozy fireplace can settle on walls and upholstery.

• The Resolution: Schedule a deep clean once a quarter. This includes baseboards, ceiling fans, and deep steam-cleaning for carpets to remove the abrasive “mountain sand” that wears down flooring.

2. Prioritize “Invisible” Maintenance

A clean home is a functional home. In our region, the most important cleaning tasks are the ones you can’t see.

• The Resolution: Clean your HVAC filters and dryer vents monthly. In a mountain climate, your heater works overtime; clean vents mean better air quality and lower energy bills.

3. Stop the Leak Before it Starts

Frozen pipes are the leading cause of winter property damage in Tahoe. A resolution to keep a “clean” home also means keeping a dry one.

• The Resolution: Have a licensed plumber inspect your heat tape and insulation. At Extraordinarily Clean, our in-house plumbing team can verify your pipes are protected, saving you thousands in potential flood repairs.

4. Create a “Guest-Ready” Standard

If you host on platforms like Evolve Vacation Network, Air b n b , VRBO, Hostaway, Bookings and even Marriott, your New Year’s resolution should be 5-star reviews every time.

It is all the little things that add up to the long lasting impression and repeat/ direct bookings!

• The Resolution: Professionalize your turnover. Consistency is the key to hospitality. Resolve to use a cleaning partner that doesn’t just “tidy up,” but performs a full property inspection during every flip.

5. Consolidate Your Home Care

Exhausted from calling a cleaner, then a maintenance guy, then a plumber?

• The Resolution: Simplify your life. Resolve to work with a one-stop-shop. By choosing a partner like Extraordinarily Clean, you get our dedicated professional team that handles the cleaning and we cooridinate the maintenance repairs, and the plumbing emergencies all under one roof.
