How clean is clean enough?

[Mouse]

I think any good cleaner will be able to look at the size of the house and number of rooms etc and be able to give you a good enough figure for you to work with. Our cleaners certainly did and they also advised that as they got to know the house they would get quicker - which they did!

The mid-week clean is easier, as you only do a certain amount of cleaning.

So I was able to build the cleaning costs into my break-even figure.

Here in Ibiza it isn't acceptable to charge extra for cleaning - its expected to be part of the rental cost. But I do charge for any additonal cleaning that would push the cleaners into extra time and I make the guests aware of those costs. i.e. washing dishes
I also charge for any additional time I may spend trying to remove stains....though I think I need to get tougher on this (my current obsession is stains...how they got there, what made them, what potion do I use to get them out......oh I could write a book entitled 'the mystery of the stain' Hey - I even have a favourite!! How sad is that?)
