Let’s go over some ways to make staying at your Airbnb more comfortable with updated HVAC systems, cleaning products, and plants.

Airbnbs are increasingly becoming more popular than hotels now, and if you’re an Airbnb Host I have some tips that can help you up your guest experience. Having clean air is essential, we may not have much control over outdoor air quality but we have full control of indoor air quality. Let’s go over some ways to make staying at your Airbnb more comfortable with updated HVAC systems, cleaning products, and plants.

Upgrading HVAC and air filtration

Modern HVAC systems
If you have an Airbnb property it’s always good to make sure everything in the house works and is up to par, including your HVAC system. Unless you run an outdoor camping style of an Airbnb most homes are equipped to handle an HVAC system. Modern HVAC systems still need constant maintenance and should be checked once a year.

Choosing the right air filtration system
In order for your HVAC to run smoothly for your guest you have to make sure you get the right air filter. Good indoor air quality can make guest more comfortable during their stay and want to come back again.

MERV ratings are also important, if you allow animals into the Airbnb or already have animals there then you might need to look into a higher MERV rating to catch the pet dander that’s floating in the air.

Most air filters last for 3 months but depending on many factors, like pets, you might need to change it more often. Also cleaning air ducts every 3 to 5 years will help keep the air clean but also helps keep your HVAC working smoothly.

Allergen-free accommodations
Even if you allow pets in your Airbnb property you can still easily make your property an allergen-free space with some of these tips.

Products for allergen control
When cleaning try to stay away from products that have harsh fragrances. Artificial fragrances can cause irritation and even nausea. To check to make sure your products are hypoallergenic and non-toxic check the EPA Safer Choice List and Safety Data Sheet. You will surprised by what’s on there. The most common cleaning products that cause asthma and allergies is bleach, sulfuric acid, and ammonia. Double-checking your cleaning products can better your guest experience.
