Why it matters

Without supplies, guests leave dishes piled up or improvise with towels.

A small cleaning kit keeps the sink area spotless between turnovers.

How to implement it

  • Place soap, sponge, and microfiber cloth on a tray beside the sink.
  • Replace sponges every stay to maintain hygiene.
  • Add a note encouraging guests to wring cloths and hang them on a drying rack.

Checklist

  • Fresh sponge and clean cloth staged at sink

FAQ

How often should I replace the sponge?

Swap in a new sponge for every stay—used ones harbor bacteria and make the sink station look neglected.

What’s the best way to stage the cloth so it dries?

Hang it on a small over-the-sink bar or drying rack so guests aren’t tempted to leave it in a wet pile.
