Beyond Sand and Salt: 5 Smart Cleaning Tips for Luxury Beach Rentals

Beach living is beautiful—but salt, sand, and sun can take a toll on your luxury rental property. If you own a high-end home near the ocean and list it on Airbnb or similar platforms, your guests expect perfection. At Beachy Keen Cleaning, we specialize in maintaining homes like yours. Here are five high-level cleaning tips you may not know—but should:

1. Stop Sand and Dust in Its Tracks
High humidity causes dust and sand to cling to shiny surfaces. We use anti-static microfiber cloths paired with a light alcohol spray to neutralize static and keep surfaces cleaner longer.

2. Check for Hidden Salt Corrosion
Salt can destroy metal parts you never see—like bolts in patio furniture or window tracks. We regularly check and apply a marine-safe lubricant to protect your investment.

3. Treat Terra Cotta Floors the Right Way
Gorgeous floors need special care. Once a month, we clean using a neutral pH product and seal with a UV-protectant finish to preserve their look.

4. Fight Humidity with Desiccant Packs
Empty beach homes are mold magnets. We place professional-grade moisture absorbers in closets and bathrooms to control indoor humidity between guests.

5. Use UV Light for High-Touch Surfaces
Remotes, control panels, and door locks harbor germs. During our deep cleans, we sanitize these with UV-C light—just like airports and hospitals do.

Keeping a beachfront rental looking luxury-level clean takes more than a basic wipe-down. Let us take care of the science behind the shine.
