I'm just wondering what other peoples experiences are regarding how clean they leave apartments after a few days holiday hire.
We just got a note back from the owner of an apartment we rented last week to say that he was deducting some money from the deposit because the apartment was left in an unacceptable condition. We're not exactly the messiest of people and we didn't leave any dirty dishes in the sink or anything, bins were emptied, etc . . . so I have no idea what he was talking about. There was possibly some dust on the floor, but that's to be expected and I don't think most people would go around sweeping up the floor before handing their apartment over to the cleaners (who we paid €60 to clean the place).
We would normally leave bed clothes, towels, etc . . . in a heap because they are going (hopefully) to be stripped off the bed and stuck in the washing machine anyway, so there's no need to tidy them up. After that, as long as there aren't dishes in the sink, food stuck to the surfaces and the bins aren't overflowing I would have thought that wasn't much more work to be done.
What are other peoples experiences ?
