Cleaners with bleach and or abrasives will shorten the life span.  

I have Clorox or Lysol wipes in all the bathroom and kitchen, anti-microbial cleaners in the same.

My advice would be to start the company but position yourself as an Airbnb cleaner, the owner gets to include a cleaning cost, and as soon as you get some Airbnb accounts they’ll repeat and could even be a few times per week Also on the Dunkin - I’d just be careful that your boss doesn’t decide to repurpose your hourly working time as mostly cleaning since you’re so good at it :)

They charge a low rate and line the owner up with cleaners and maintenance.

Running a successful STR comes down to 3 Ps: pics, people & pricing.1) Decorate your house nicely & pay a professional photographer to take some amazing pics2) Hire amazing people - cleaners, handyman, recruit some neighbors to help fill in the gaps, & self-manage or hire an offshore VA to manage the property if you’d rather make yourself rich instead of making a local PM rich (more on that here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/... )3) Price fiercely to maximize profits not occupancy (they're not the same thing)

Mild cleaner to start and make sure you are final rinsing with clean water.

I checked with my cleaner.

So I am calling out to my fellow Big Bear owners if they can can recommend any good and reliable cleaners out there.

You shouldn't be collecting a security deposit right now in Chicago as the tenants can take you to the cleaners if you mess up how it is handled.

Seems cleaner that way, but you probably want to follow up with a tax professional if youre doing something unconventional/complicated.
