Bedrooms

• Ensure the bed is made and neat.
• The curtains / blinds are open.
• The windows are clean.
• If there is a dressing table, please remove all personal make-up / hygiene items from open view.
• All clothes are put away in wardrobes and out of sight.

Bathrooms

Ensure the surfaces are free of any personal effects make-up (incl. toothbrushes & toothpaste, hairbrushes, perfumes, aftershave etc). Ensure the mirror is sparkling clean.

Kitchen

This area is usually the deciding factor! Ensure all the surfaces are clear. Try and remove as many kitchen “appliances” as possible.  Remove all cleaning utensils from the sink area.

Living room

• Remove all magazines and newspapers.
