What to ask, and why

Will I have to block extra nights on the calendar?

Sometimes one. It depends on the odor and the treatment; ask the provider directly whether your current gap is enough.

Should I photograph the unit before treatment?

Yes. Date-stamped photos and the invoice are what a booking platform will want if you file a claim against the guest.

Will my next guest smell a cover-up?

Not if the source is treated and no fragrance is added. Ask whether any scented product will be used.

A guest set off bear spray. Is my unit usable?

After residue is removed and the unit ventilated, yes. Soft goods that took a heavy dose may need replacement.

Do I have to be there?

Usually not. Access can often be arranged through you or your cleaner; agree on it in advance.
