What’s the first thing you do when you get into a holiday property?

[ForQuaintMintCat]

try to get to my room

cup of tea

Get my nhs grade disinfectant wipes out and clean all door handles, light switches, remotes and bathroom taps .

Go on, tell us

Wow people are v boring. I generally pour myself a glass of wine and jump in the pool. As for inventory I would just wash it when I use it.

Attempt to check beds for bedbugs

I am horribly compelled to hear this

You wash every single thing? How odd.

Bonkers, how often do you get ill from staying in a hotel or BnB? I run one and everything gets put through the dishwasher, carried over with a clean tea towel over to protect and left for the guests.

Wash crockery and cutlery. Clean the washing machine drawer and seal and run it at 90c. Because it’s usually mouldy and coated in bio wash powder.

Wed hand wash or use the dishwasher as we go along so what do housekeeping do to make those items suddenly insanitary? I could understand say washing the bedding off you think it's not been changed but most of the household stuff will be cleaned by the person before you

I'd just wash what was I was going use just before I used it if it looked a bit greasy or dirty. Otherwise - well, what's going to happen? Unless everyone in the house before you was infectious with some dreadful disease that can endure on glass, metal and crockery, you'll probably be fine anyway.

I think it's just the idea of everything not being clean that people don't like.

Please no 😂

Dump my bag and straight to the pool.

Put luggage out of the way.
Make a cup of tea.
Open every cupboard and drawer to see what's in there.

Usually cup of tea time!

Oh God I need to know the reasons, pray tell?!

Check for bedbugs and unplug the air fresheners.

Stick a plaster on the sockets
Stick a plaster on the mirror
Put your finger in the mirror
Turn the toilet roll around

I'm confused, is this some sort of Candyman thing?!

explore the room, unpack, then depending on the time of day head to bar, restaurant, pool or bed.

Look around then test out the bed.

I could have written this myself

Usually had a long drive so a cup of tea and biscuits.

In the garden if it has one and the weather is co-operating,

Feed the dogs 🙄

Check the bathroom, bags in the room and get my swimming cossie on and head to the pool

Take my shoes off and tell the kids to take theirs off too.
