Restocking: Under the Sink Inventory - Cleaning, Chemical Safety & Guest Behaviour
Module 5: Team, Systems & Operations
What guests find under the sink quietly decides how they clean up: if supplies are full and visible they use them, and if they look scarce guests cut corners. Keeping basic cleaning supplies stocked protects your surfaces and reduces cleaning time, while strong chemicals belong locked away and any cupboard holding cleaning products should be child-safe.

Questions people ask
Should I provide cleaning supplies for Airbnb guests?
Yes. Basic supplies such as dishwashing liquid, dishwasher tablets, sponges and a surface spray let guests deal with spills and dishes, which keeps the property in better shape between cleans.
How do I store cleaning chemicals safely in a holiday rental?
Keep strong chemicals such as bleach and oven cleaner locked away in their original containers, and fit child-safety latches to any cupboard guests can open that holds cleaning products. Never mix bleach with ammonia or acidic products.
Why avoid steel wool scourers in a rental kitchen?
Metal scourers can scratch non-stick pans, sinks and stone benchtops. Soft sponges with a gentle scrub side clean well without damaging surfaces.
