It's cleaner for everyone.

, the flip side of this is that when my wife and I moved out of our first apartment the management company kept our entire security deposit because we forgot to clean out the oven (which we only realized on the move out walkthrough, so no chance to remedy) and on our second place the same thing again, this time because there was cleaner residue on the bathroom mirror, which was not brought to our attention during the walkthrough ("the place looked great!")

I told him to get a HEPA air cleaner.

Also you need to make sure they only clean them with the proper cleaners.

The relatively small upfront cost of those two things will give you time to focus on all the behind the scenes stuff to get up and running (cable, remotes, alarms, door locks, yard maintenance, pool cleaners, house cleaners, handyman, calendars, pricing and all of the other things you need to get done. 

If you just want a second house and want it "rented" sometimes then you dont have to worry that much, you can certainly drive some extra revenue fairly easily, you just wont come close to maximizing the financial performance of the property.Be weary of what local people tell you about vacation rentals, everyone thinks they know a lot but they really dont (I am not referring to Chad, but to property managers, cleaners, and other owners that have done this in the past on VRBO).

My houses are cleaner, fresher & better maintained than the competition, which effectively makes *every* AVM inaccurate, they're always too low.

I prefer the "motivated cleaner" just like a motivated seller.I was more than please with the job a couple did for me.

Just makes for cleaner accounting.

The care instructions were simple, "use a non abrasive cleaner and sponge for cleaning after every use".
