How do I disinfect an Airbnb?
To efficiently disinfect your rental, you first need to prepare the area properly. Here you can find the steps to be taken before, during, and after disinfection:
Preparing for disinfection
Decluttering comes first, before any cleaning process. This means putting dirty dishes in the dishwasher, throwing out the garbage, and collecting linens. That way, you will have no obstacles on your way once you start cleaning, which is the following step.
Cleaning comes right before disinfecting, and it includes washing the dishes and emptying the dishwasher, dusting and vacuuming, washing the linens, and cleaning all the hard surfaces using soap and water. This will ensure that layers of dust and grime are removed so you can proceed to disinfection.
Disinfection
To disinfect an area, you need to use chemicals that kill germs and bacteria. It is very important to focus on high-touch areas and properly disinfect them. There are three steps to properly disinfecting an area:
- Spraying an area with disinfectant. Once the hard surfaces are clean, spray the disinfectant focusing on light switches, cabinets, and doorknobs. It’s also important to spray surfaces that could have been in contact with dirty linens (usually floors). When disinfecting electronics, make sure to read the manufacturer’s directions before you clean them.
- Letting the disinfectant stay wet. In order for a chemical to effectively disinfect a surface, it is necessary to let it sit for a certain time period, which is usually specified on the product label. The wet contact time allows the disinfectant to remove as many germs as possible.
- Allowing to air-dry. If you don’t allow the surface to remain wet for the recommended time, there are no guarantees that the disinfectant has removed the germs. To use your chemicals properly, always make sure to read the safety label.
Finishing off
Once the disinfection is done, there are final steps to follow for your own and your next guest’s safety. This includes throwing away any disposables like disinfectant wipes, setting out cleaning supplies that your guests can use, and washing your hands for at least 20 seconds using soap and water.
