Vacation Rental Housekeeping Professionals and Vacation Rental Management Association Introduce New Cleaning Guidelines

WASHINGTON (May 4, 2020)—The Vacation Rental Housekeeping Professionals (VRHP), a subsidiary of the Vacation Rental Management Association (VRMA), has developed expanded recommendations for cleaning vacation rental properties in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The new guidelines are part of the VRMA & VRHP SafeHome campaign, which empowers members to adopt and execute safe travel standards that conform to—and, in many cases, exceed—those that are mandated nationally, statewide or locally. The SafeHome initiative encourages all vacation rental management professionals to openly communicate with guests and employees about the precautions they are taking to help keep them safe and healthy.

View Guidelines

The guidelines include recommendations for augmenting existing cleaning programs to account for COVID-19, including:

Disinfection and sanitation techniques

Proper use of personal protective equipment.

Recommended products, cleaning agents and equipment.

Communicating expanded cleaning processes to guests.

Trash removal and maintenance processes.

Updated cleaning and inspection processes for soft surfaces, upholstery and linens.

Statements From:
VRMA & VRHP

“Cleaning a vacation rental is no small task, even when we are not faced with a global pandemic,” said Durk Johnson, executive director of VRHP. “Housekeepers are responsible for completely resetting properties and creating a like-new experience for arriving guests. These new guidelines are intended to enhance the safety of properties, and provide more peace-of-mind for property owners and guests.”

“Vacation rental professionals have historically set the standard for cleaning within the travel industry, and these guidelines memorialize an enhanced level of care in a COVID-19-impacted industry.” said Toby Babich, president of VRMA. “The COVID-19 pandemic makes proper and thorough cleaning methods, specific training, appropriate supplies and a systematic process even more vital to our industry. We can count on our professional community to rise to this occasion and restore confidence within our local governments and guest populations that staying in a professionally managed vacation rental is the safest way to enjoy travel.”

"Because guest and employee safety is paramount, VRMA and VRHP will continue their efforts to educate and inform members and the professional vacation rental management community overall of evolving guidelines and recommendations so that they are always able to provide a safe and enjoyable environment to guests, staff and the general public."

"The new cleaning guidelines are not legal or medical advice, and are subject to change as more information becomes available about COVID-19. VRHP further recommends that all housekeeping staff complete training regarding proper and safe cleaning techniques and property security."

“Making families feel comfortable enough to travel again after this pandemic is a must for the entire vacation rental industry,” said Vrbo President Jeff Hurst. “Adopting these new cleaning guidelines will reassure travelers that vacation rentals are safe places to stay for their next vacation."
