🧽 Behind the Scenes at My Maid Pinellas

Vacation Rental Cleaning Tips (with Help from Riley!)

Published: April 17, 2025

If you’ve ever hosted a guest in a vacation rental, you know that turnover day can be intense. There’s laundry to do, bathrooms to disinfect, beds to reset, and towels to fold — all in just a few hours. At My Maid Pinellas, we specialize in helping hosts across Clearwater, Indian Rocks Beach, Palm Harbor, Safety Harbor, Dunedin, and Largo stay ahead of the chaos.

Our secret to success? A detail-focused approach, years of experience, and a pint-sized helper who never fails to brighten the workday.

👧 Meet Riley – Our Towel-Rolling Queen

Riley is five. She’s also the Chief Inspiration Officer here at My Maid Pinellas — and yes, she’s already got strong opinions on towel presentation.

Her favorite method?

🧺 “If you fold towels like a cinnamon roll, they look fancy.” – Riley, Age 5
We’ve taken her advice to heart. Rolled towels not only look boutique and welcoming — they also help vacation homes in Clearwater and beyond stand out in reviews. Guests notice small touches, and a perfectly styled bathroom makes a lasting first impression.

Riley also helps by putting clean trash bags in the bins, fluffing pillows, and — more often than not — reminding me to take snack breaks. She’s part of the team, and every time she’s on site, clients comment on how sweet and professional she already is.

🧼 Our Vacation Rental Cleaning Process

When we clean a short-term rental, we follow a thorough and time-tested process:

• Strip and remake all beds with fresh linens
  
  

• Sanitize high-touch surfaces: light switches, remotes, handles
  
  

• Deep clean bathrooms and kitchens
  
  

• Restock essentials if requested (toilet paper, soap, coffee, etc.)
  
  

• Vacuum and mop all floors
  
  

• Fold towels (Riley-style when possible)
  
  

• Final walkthrough to make sure everything feels fresh and guest-ready
  
  

Whether you’re hosting in Clearwater Beach, managing multiple listings in Dunedin, or need reliable cleaning in Palm Harbor, we provide fast, dependable turnover services that keep your ratings high and your guests happy.

💬 Host Tip:

If you’ve ever been dinged in a review for “not feeling clean,” it may have come down to small details. Fingerprints on mirrors, dusty blinds, or stale-smelling trash can all affect the guest experience.

We treat every home like it’s our own — and those little details? That’s where we shine.
