We are excited to welcome you to Lake Tahoe. Your safety is our priority. Prior to your arrival, each luxury vacation rental is thoroughly cleaned and prepared for your Lake Tahoe visit. Our sanitation procedures include the following measures:
Cleaners to:
▪ Wear masks and remove shoes before entering any vacation rental
▪ Wash their hands immediately on arrival, following correct procedure for hand-washing
▪ Put on sanitary gloves or rubber cleaning gloves
▪ Pay special attention to high-touch surfaces and disinfect, including:
◦ Light switches, outlets, lamp and fan pull-chains and switches
◦ Window sills, pulls, and handles
◦ Cabinet pulls and knobs
◦ Controls for large appliance and electronics (washer and dryer, dishwasher, stove)
◦ Controls and cords for plug-in appliances and electronics (coffee maker, toaster, television, hair dryer)
◦ Temperature controls
◦ Hangers and luggage racks
◦ Bureau drawer knobs or pulls
◦ Remote controls
◦ Amenities like soap, shampoo, and cleaning supplies
◦ Toys, games, and child guest amenities like high chairs
◦ Stair railings and outdoor porch railings
▪ Wash duvet covers at each departure (or use second set if available)
▪ Apply disinfectant spray on:
◦ Couches and other soft surfaces
◦ Indoor trash bins (disinfect the entire outside and inside of the bin)
◦ Cleaning supplies (dishwasher pods, laundry detergent)
▪ Open windows to increase air circulation
▪ Replace sponges
Check-In Staff will arrive at each home with an ultraviolet sanitizing UVC disinfection wand to destroy any existing bacteria or viruses prior to your arrival. Additionally, check in staff will spray each home with hyphochlorous acid spray (HOCI). Hypochlorous acid is a powerful oxidant and is 100 times more efficient at killing bacteria than chlorine bleach or sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). Hypochlorous acid is safe and natural. It is found in our blood as one of the most powerful biological oxidants generated by our white blood cells against invading pathogens. Check-In Staff will follow below guidelines at each home:
▪ Remove shoes before entering any vacation rental
▪ Wash their hands immediately upon arrival to the rental home
▪ Wear masks and gloves
▪ Confirm cleaners are addressing appropriate areas
▪ Confirm throw pillows and blankets are removed and stored in locked areas
▪ Complete regular check-in duties
No staff will come to work if they are feeling flu-like symptoms.
There is much to learn about the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Based on what is currently known about COVID-19, spread from person-to-person of this virus happens most frequently among close contacts (within about 6 feet). This type of transmission occurs via respiratory droplets. On the other hand, transmission of novel coronavirus to persons from surfaces contaminated with the virus has not been documented. Transmission of coronavirus occurs much more commonly through respiratory droplets than through fomites. Current evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 may remain viable for hours to days on surfaces made from a variety of materials. Cleaning of visibly dirty surfaces followed by disinfection is a best practice measure for prevention of COVID-19 and other viral respiratory illnesses in households and community settings.
We look forward to hosting your Lake Tahoe vacation.
