The Ultimate Guide to Preparing Your Airbnb for Peak Season
Spring and summer bring peak booking season for short-term rentals in Tulsa and the Grand Lake area. Whether you manage an urban Airbnb or a lakefront cabin, preparation is everything. Here's how to ensure your property stands out and earns those coveted 5-star reviews.
Start with a Deep Clean
Before peak season hits, schedule a comprehensive deep clean. This goes beyond your standard turnover cleaning. We're talking baseboards, light fixtures, behind appliances, and inside cabinets. A deep clean sets the foundation for maintaining your property throughout the busy season.
Create a Turnover Checklist
Consistency is key to great reviews. Develop a detailed checklist that covers every room and surface. Your guests should find the same spotless condition whether they book in May or August. Professional cleaning services like ours use systematic checklists to ensure nothing gets overlooked.
Focus on High-Touch Areas
Door handles, light switches, remote controls, and kitchen appliances need extra attention. These are the surfaces your guests interact with most, and they're also the most noticeable when they're not clean.
Don't Forget the Linens
Fast turnaround times mean efficient laundry management. Consider partnering with a professional laundry service or maintaining backup sets of linens. Fresh, crisp bedding and towels make an immediate impression on arriving guests.
Stock Quality Cleaning Supplies
Guests appreciate finding basic cleaning supplies available. Stock paper towels, all-purpose cleaner, dish soap, and trash bags. It shows you care about their comfort and helps them maintain the space during their stay.
The Professional Advantage
Managing short-term rentals is demanding, especially during peak season. Professional cleaning services can handle the quick turnovers, maintain consistency, and free you to focus on guest communication and property management.
