[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't stay at rentals anymore.  The last time we stayed at one, the clean towels were in the dryer and the washing machine was set to a 15 minute delicate cycle.  The cleaners had set the machine on the fastest setting for towels to speed things up.  I get why they did it, but that's nasty.  I rewashd everything on a real cycle.[/quote]

Yep, think about it: almost every beach rental in the summer on the eastern shore requires a stay from Saturday to Saturday. The rental turns over at 10 AM on Saturday and needs to be cleaned by 4 PM that same day. There can't possibly be enough labor to thoroughly clean all those places. Imagine how many houses each cleaner needs to get done in those six hours. They will make it look superficially nice, but nothing will be cleaned adequately. The minimum things everyone should do when they arrive at these rentals: (1) throw all towels and sheets in the laundry on the hot water setting, (2) wash all dishes in the dishwasher, (3) wipe down all counters, doorknobs, etc. with lysol wipes (bring your own because they're usually not supplied), and (4) vacuum everywhere. A fair amount of effort, but you're staying for a week minimum so just get it done on arrival day and it's not too bad.[/quote]
