Hygiene and Cleanliness

Hygiene and cleanliness are most pertinent in the hospitality industry. The Cabins by the Caves management and staff adhere to high standards of cleanliness. We have adopted multiple procedures and best practices to ensure that certain standards are always maintained.

Every housekeeper is provided with a detailed cleaning checklist, and routine supervisory inspections are performed regularly on our cabins and lodges. Each staff member is educated on their role and responsibility to our guests and other team members. We know first impressions are pivotal, and we want to offer our guests peace of mind that this important area is being looked after.

Between every guest

Our housekeeping requirements go beyond vacuuming, sweeping and dusting. Between each guest, our housekeeping staff provides the following:

• Wash and change all linens with Lysol laundry sanitizer
• Clean and sanitize the hot tub and complete the hot tub log
• Report any maintenance concerns
• Stock and hang fresh towels
• Empty the fridge and clean the interior
• Clean all kitchen appliances and empty the dishwasher
• Dust, and clean and sanitize all kitchen and bathroom areas and surfaces
• Sweep and mop all floors; move furniture and sweep under beds
• Check kitchen cabinets and drawers
• Remove debris from the fireplace, fire pits and grills, and clean
• Sanitize light switches and remote controls; check light bulbs and ceiling fans
• Stock guest supplies, remove trash, and clean interior windows

Deep-cleaning rotation

Our units are also rotated, and deep-cleaning practices are applied to maintain our vacation homes' cleanliness:
