From lightly spot cleaning with warm soapy water to gently steam cleaning, be sure to follow the cleaning instructions for your mattress type. It&#8217;s also a good idea to air out the mattresses in your property to get rid of odours, as well as flipping them to prolong their shape and comfort.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Deep clean ovens\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Post-busy-season, oven cleaning is vital. A clean oven upholds kitchen hygiene, improving food taste and preventing health risks. It boosts efficiency, ensuring consistent cooking and energy savings. Additionally, a clean oven extends its lifespan, reducing maintenance costs. For guests, a sparkling oven signifies a well-maintained property, enhancing satisfaction and encouraging return visits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Coast &amp; Country Cottages, we highly recommend enlisting the help of<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovenwizards.com\/oven-cleaning\/Devon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oven Wizards<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> based in South Devon.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Have carpets and sofas professionally cleaned\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether your property is near the beach or in rural countryside, your holiday let can be exposed to sand, sea salt and mud.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a dog-friendly property, pet hair and odours can also accumulate, so it\u2019s important to remove these particles with a deep clean at the end of a busy season.
