Cleaning Charge, Housekeeping*

A separate, standard housekeeping charge is assessed for each rental.  It covers post-rental cleaning.  There is no covered housekeeping service during the rental period.  Your rental fee includes use of linens, towels and bath mats from our supplies.** 

The renter is requested to perform before departure the following "common-sense" simple tasks:
-- wash dishes or place in dish washer and activate washing cycle before departing 
-- place furniture, if moved, back in original position
-- remove your trash from the house (place in in-ground can by driveway, recyclables in cans in shed, or take home with you)
-- close windows and lower shades, lock house.
-- remove your foods from the refrigerator 
-- start washing cycle*** for all those items used from our supplies in addition to the regular rental allotment**

* Cleaning is not part of rents but treated essentially as pass-through rental cost; i.e., all Owner is trying to do is come out even. The pricing charged for housekeeping equals Owner's experienced averages. In the event that Renters leave the house in pristine condition, regardless of the Cleaning Option chosen, Owner may unilaterally refund cleaning moneys paid if his housekeepers' invoice is substantially less. On the other hand, in the unlikely event that, due to negligence of Renters, the housekeepers' invoice substantially exceeds the amount paid by Renters, Owner may recoup the difference from the Security Deposit. In this context, the word "substantial" means approximately $30.

** As "regular rental allotment" we provide the linens that are on the beds upon arrival of the guests, as well as one large towel, one hand towel, and one wash towel per renter per rental period.  However, there are additional supplies in the closets. As a courtesy, our renters are welcome to make use of those additional supplies, but they are then REQUESTED to start the washing cycle for those additionally used supplies.
