Questions for those that manage other people's STR properties
Wondering how you handle consumable supplies that you don't cover yourself. I'll be covering soap (dish, laundry, hand, dishwasher), toilet paper, paper towels, kitchen/small garbage bags coffee filters, scouring pads/dish pad.
The ones I can think of that I won't be covering - Kitchen/cooking (tinfoil, parchment, saran wrap, baggies), shampoo/conditioner, Food (coffee, tea, sugar, salt/pepper, spices), dryer sheets/fabric softener, general cleaner (like a Lysol spray), Kleenex.
Any differences for you between what you do cover/what you don't? Anything I'm missing?
How do you replace the goods you don't cover - just like replacing a broken toaster, you pay and pass the charge through and fill up yourself? Do your cleaners fill up just as they would toiler paper etc?
Specifically regarding Shampoo/Conditioner - do you refill each visit so the bottles are always full, or replace with a fresh each time (seems expensive)
Are you going to a grocery store to buy salt, spices etc? Filling up each one?
