Rachel •Mar 21, 2025A fully stocked vacation rental reassures guests that every detail has been thoughtfully managed. Essentials like cleaning supplies, toiletries, and convenient kitchen items contribute to a comfortable and hassle-free stay.
Pre-planning your consumable orders prevents last-minute reorders. With a stock that covers at least one month, your cleaning team can monitor usage and reorder supplies without disrupting guest service.
Ordering supplies in bulk or on a scheduled basis based on occupancy can lead to significant cost savings. This proactive approach minimizes the need for emergency orders, ensuring you maintain both quality and budget.
For a 4-bedroom home, the initial order is designed to last two months at full occupancy. This ample buffer accommodates high usage rates and frequent turnovers.
In larger properties such as an 8-bedroom home, the same consumable stock generally lasts about one month due to increased guest traffic and higher usage.
Properties with fewer than four bedrooms often enjoy supplies that stretch even longer, thanks to lower overall consumption.
Regardless of property size, the initial stocking is designed to cover at least one month. As supplies dwindle, the cleaning team fills out a replenishment form for property management to reorder, ensuring continuous guest satisfaction.
