Being a small B&B doesn’t mean we aren’t running things professionally. We once had a friend who stayed at another island B&B which she described as “funky”, where she – in her words - was afraid to look behind doors and in corners. There were loads of ants and a prevalent musty smell, beer bottles left out from previous guests and an air conditioner that made her wheeze. This isn’t relaxed and funky and cool, it’s gross and unnecessary. We take cleaning extremely seriously here (I admit I’m a bit of a germ-a-phobe) and follow these practices (among many others):
- Daily maid service
- Guest linen rotation
- And yes, we regularly wash bed covers and shams - even pillows!
- Guest dishes through the dishwasher (not just rinsed with water or cleaned with Windex!)
- We sanitize: although we use white vinegar and simple green and other non-toxic, biodegradable cleaners as much as possible, we are not afraid to use bleach regularly for guest safety.
