Would you trust staying in self catering place once they reopen?

[Cherryghost]

Just wondering when places reopen people would feel safe staying in a caravan /hotel room etc?
Haven/Butlins and cheap hotel rooms they have a time limit to clean each rooms/caravan
Travelodge used to be 20 mins per room this was years ago but with pressure to clean quickly how confident would you be staying in a place that everything has been cleaned and all surfaces cleaned?

Is anyone else concerned about this?

Seems bizarre they talking of opening up self catering places but no mention of stepping foot in your families house with less risk from strangers and contaminated surfaces

Yes

Yes looking forward to it!

Yes

Yes. I'm looking forward to it.

Yes.

The only risk is if the people before you, or the cleaner, have coronavirus. That’s a very small risk. Far more likely to get it from communal areas or talking to people.

Nope

Yes absolutely. But then for the last 12 years I’ve always travelled with bleach wipes and given door handles etc in hotels and holiday houses a quick once over when we arrive. DS very vulnerable to sickness bugs so have spent his whole life minimising infection risk. No behavioural change needed here!

What is anti viral spray?

An Acquaintance on Facebook has said they have cancelled their holiday lets until September as they couldn’t face the extra cleaning etc involved, it wasn’t financially worth it for the effort for them. Which makes me thing most places won’t do what’s being asked of them.

Yes I would, we have a theme park hotel booked for 4th July. If all goes to plan and they are allowed to open I ll be there!

I’ve booked an Airbnb for end of August. It might be my imagination, but it looked like the system wasn’t booking people back to back, and was leaving a couple of days between bookings.

I just can’t be arsed with it all, so we have cancelled our holiday and forfeited our deposit. If I’m honest, it’s not so much the accommodation itself, but communal places and the fact that we really aren’t going to be able to enjoy all the things we like doing on holiday when we are there. Couldn’t bring myself to throw another few hundred pounds at that.

We are staying in a UK self catering cottage in August. We have stayed there many times before and they are always spotlessly clean on arrival.

Not worried at all. In fact, after a rough few months due to my Nana dying in March,I am rather looking forward to it. We usually do lots of walks when we go there and enjoy chilling in the cottage and treating ourselves to nice food/wine so at least we can still do all of that.

Yes. I'd bring cleaning products and give the surfaces a run-over with all the windows open, we only ever rent little 2-beds, so it takes no time at all. The sheets are always fresh on anyway, so it's just the surfaces that I prefer to wipe down. (Actually I've done that with most surfaces anyway for some time, norovirus fear since the time when we all caught it at a holiday flat.)

What is anti viral spray?

I was wondering the same thing!

I clean holiday homes and I am really worried to be going back, especially changing sheets/towels and things like that. However, this worry also means I will be cleaning every single thing and finishing off with an anti viral spray at the end. (And probably a hundred times between!)
Also wherever possible, leaving the property for a few days before going in. Once in, opening all windows.
Some of the owners of some holiday cottages have a strict checklist and protocol and are providing gloves and masks and disinfectant.
As for me going away, I would thoroughly clean it to my standards before anything else as I know there are a lot of cleaners out there who are pretty rubbish!

I wouldn't give it another thought.

And I would be there like shit off a shovel.

Yes. I'll probably give hard surfaces/door handles a wipe over but even if someone with the virus has been in the property you're very unlikely to get it.

Not bothered. We don't wipe groceries either.

The virus survives on surfaces for a few days at the very most, and even then it's questionable if it's in sufficient quantities to make you ill. Bearing in mind that the property will be cleaned before you get there, you're extremely unlikely to catch Covid in this situation.

Are any of you "no" people going to the supermarket and wearing gloves ?

Cancelled our self catering UK holiday, not because of worry about Coronavirus but because everything fun on site and nearby will either be closed or not fun with little kids. I’d rather lose the small deposit than pay an additional four figure sum to pretty much only be able to go to the beach or stand in socially distanced queues for a week.

If we’re allowed to stay away from home a family member has offered us use of their second home near a beach for a long weekend which would be free of charge and we would clean anyway, plus we know who else has been there and when. Doesn’t have the same facilities as what we’d intended, but as it’s free who cares!

Anti viral spray? So many mentions and I’ve never heard of it. Please help me.

I used it the phrase- I just meant Dettol that’s proven to work on similar virus strains:

www.dettol.co.uk/about-us/understanding-coronavirus/

‘’Does Dettol kill the Coronavirus (COVID-19)?

2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a new strain of coronavirus. It is not yet available for commercial testing.

Specific Dettol products have demonstrated effectiveness (>99.9% inactivation) against coronavirus strains from the same family as the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in third party laboratory testing, when used in accordance with the directions for use. These products are: Dettol Antibacterial Surface Cleanser Spray, Dettol Antibacterial Surface Cleanser Wipes, Dettol All-In-One Disinfectant Spray, and Dettol Disinfectant Liquid.

Given the structural similarities of the COVID-19 virus to the coronavirus strains tested previously (SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, Human Coronavirus), and based on the evidence available to us, we would expect our Dettol products (listed above) to be effective against the new strain’’

It’s easier than saying ‘anti Bac’ and then 20 sanctimonious posters arrive to tell you that Covid is a virus and not a bacteria and I’m a simpleton who is basically murdering the elderly.

Or something like that 🤣

Absolutely happy to go self-catering and am hoping to do so on July 10th.

But it's a small group of lodges that are always sparkling on arrival anyway and we have later check in and earlier check out to enable additional cleaning.

A budget hotel or a large complex with limited cleaning times might give me pause for thought, but on balance I would probably still go.
