today was horrible.
warning: v long.
i work for a air b&b company. they have a bunch of listings and i turn them over. which means i clean them and get it ready for the next check in.
full on disclaimer: i love this job. i love cleaning and i love the freedom of going in after 10 and ending before 3. i love making it pretty and homey for the next people to experience.
but today. today wasn’t it.
the cleaning fee you pay doesn’t all go to us. we get paid by how long a place should take to clean. it averages from 2-7 hours, depending on the size. so if a house takes 3h, we only get paid for the 3h and if we go over that, it’s unpaid.
the place i got assigned to today was so gross, i had to ask admin to send help coz there was no way i was gonna finish in 3h. they sent 2 cleaners (bless their souls) and we barely made it to 4pm- which is when they guests start checking in.
i walk in and the dishes are piled to high heavens w caked on food. they’re supposed to load the dishwasher before they leave or wash whatever dishes they use as it’s clearly stated in the rules. literally right there on the window sill of the kitchen sink. you cannot miss it.
there was what i’m assuming is coffee in the electric kettle. the sugar was uncovered and sticky w an unknown substance. there was produce on the floor and dried up sauce on the counter. i’m assuming they had a bbq coz the pyrex they used were just caked on w dried bbq sauce.
the fridge had a wide array of leftovers. from a big bowl of guacamole to a bowl of what appeared to be melted butter? just a full bowl of melted butter. idk man. it doesn’t stop there. there was a pan of rice- which i don’t understand coz there was also a thing of rice on the stove. cut up produce littered the fridge. like someone went in there and just threw salad inside the fridge and closed the door.
the pullout bed in the living room had pubes and a brown stain. the floors littered w tissue and a bottle of ranch.
i walk in the bedrooms. room 1 had trash all over the floor (there’s a trash bin in every room) a plastic bag on the bed and a shit ton of hair and chips and finger stains on the covers.
room 2 had more trash on the floor, including clothes tags and a wrapper for a pre rolled joint and more tissues. towels were hung on the door and a cabinet drawer was broken.
room 3, more clothes tags and wrappers and tissues. empty water bottles, used baby wipes, a used razor and a pile of damp towels in a corner.
the bathroom had a roll of toilet paper on the sink w an unidentified brown substance, open toothpaste everywhere, baby wipes, used razors and a huge wad of long hair.
the laundry room had a pile of sheets from somewhere? and no towels were started like they were supposed to.
the whole place was littered w random trash like they have never used a trash can before. the hot tub had a can of beer floating around.
look, i get it. it’s vacation time. but this is still someone’s home you’re destroying. someone has to come in and undo the damage you caused. idk man. be respectful of other people’s stuff- even if you’re paying for it. it doesn’t excuse you from being uncivilized in someone’s property. what you pay for your stay is a fraction of what it costs to have you stay in someone else’s home.
tldr: air b&b was rented by neanderthals and what you pay for it doesn’t cover all the fuckery.
i got pics.
