Rental
by The Keepers
success isn’t owned, its leased
In the past few years, short term rentals have EXPLODED in our local area as more people are looking for comfortable and private lodging for their business trips and vacations in the Northshore and in and around Boston. As more and more homeowners are turning their vacation homes and cabins into short term rentals, the need for reliable and high-quality cleaning of these properties has risen, as well. At The Keepers, we are experts at short term rental property cleanings in the Boston area!
Since our opening, our number of short term rentals that we service has grown steadily, exploding in the summer of 2020 with the rise of COVID-19. We do countless “flips” a week for a variety of rentals that are listed on Air BNB, VRBO, or privately listed online by the owners. We have heard from many owners of these rentals that they are completely overwhelmed with taking care of the cleaning in between guests when they oftentimes have jobs outside of rental management or aren’t even local to our area, so they rely on their cleaner completely to handle everything at the rental. By allowing the top rated rental cleaning service in Boston, Ma The Keepers, to do the turnovers for you, you can be sure you are in the right hands and your guests will have the most positive experience possible.
We all know the impact of reviews, especially on sites like Air BNB and VRBO. One negative review on the cleanliness of the home can seriously impact your booking ability, especially in a competitive market like Boston with our beautiful natural resources. The rentals we take care of the cleaning for consistently have incredibly high cleanliness scores, which will absolutely catch the eye of potential guests. As your chosen rental property cleaning service in Boston, The Keepers will ensure your cleanliness scores are always top notch.
Strong management and organization are the name of the game to ensure your property gets the level of attention it needs to stand out. We create individual checklists for every single short term rental we service. This ensures that our cleaners know the specifics about your home so all details are properly accounted for. Compared to standard house cleaning, flipping short term rentals takes quite a bit more specific instructions, because every single location is unique and needs “out of the norm” tasks. We find that our communication with rental owners is MUCH more extensive than a typical house cleaning because of how many new people are staying, leaving the home in various states that must be documented and accounted for. The Keepers is the preferred cleaning service for short term rentals in Boston because our homeowners know they can count on us to get the job done right every time, and quickly communicate needed information to get the next guest experience to be the best possible.
Our standard tasks we complete at short term rentals are very similar to our standard residential cleanings, though we typically will rotate dusting on a more spread out basis since we are visiting much more frequently than regular houses.
Some of the more specific tasks we do for these homeowners:
Change all used bedding and make beds as specified to health department code
Wash all used bedding and towels either on site or haul excess off site to be washed and returned at next visit
Document any damage or excessive dirtiness to send to owners
Check interior of fridge and empty of all food left behind
Check stock of all kitchen and bath supplies, restock if desired. Many owners ship to our office and we take with us any supplies for the next visit.
Check exterior of home for trash or debris that needs to be picked up
Put away all dishes that have been washed by guests
Garbage removal if there is no dumpster on site
Leave out care package items for next guests (specific greeting cards, snacks, wine/beer). Typically left secured by the homeowner and we leave out for guests.
This list is not all inclusive, and we are happy to do an assortment of tasks not included in these lists. We understand how much goes into managing rental properties, and we love being able to relieve some stress from these owners by providing professional and efficient cleaning services for these rentals. The Keepers reputation in both standard residential cleaning and short term rental cleaning service in Boston is well known in our community, but owners who are not from around here may be hesitant to trust someone to take care of their rental.
