A home swapper recently wrote about the following dilemma: cocoa beach florida hotels I have found that the end of the holiday can end up with a last-minute competition to leave the house in a cleaner condition than you found it. This is beneficial, but can be embarrassing if your exchangees beat you in the game. Our first exchange guests washed and dried all the bedding, which was lovely, but we hadn t agreed to this, and all I had done was to strip their beds!
It s great that members want to leave homes clean and tidy at the end of an exchange but it is best to agree ahead exactly what both parties will be expected to do before leaving. Most cleaning can be done the day before with just a quick last minute tidy up. Another option is to arrange ahead for cleaners to come to both homes to do a quick clean, laundry and to make the beds - although this is an added cost it is still far cheaper than what it would have cost to stay in a hotel.
Thanks so much for your comments - I like your idea of leaving instructions for exchange guests to change bedding if time (everyone wants to return to a nice, clean welcoming bed!) but also acknowledging that this may not always be possible (I hope your exchange cocoa beach florida hotels partners let you know ahead what to expect on your return).
Oops. This made me chuckle, cocoa beach florida hotels we wouldn cocoa beach florida hotels t win any awards for our housekeeping but on our last swap to Lisbon we had the time to wash all the sheets and hang them out on the pulley system that all the apartments used. Personally I really like to get back to clean sheets on the beds but after a few minor disappointments in this area I now leave a section on leaving in our manual asking for a bed change if possible but understand ing if the beds are just stripped due to time pressure. This works far better than me just hoping to get back to clean sheets on the beds after a late flight as most people do follow our request!
