As an Island Vibez Living partner, it’s always important to ensure the property is clean and guest-ready. However, in light of the COVID-19 outbreak, we strongly recommend that you follow the advice from the experts when cleaning and disinfecting a property after a guest check-out — and learn and apply all local requirements for cleaning and safety. Rules and recommendations differ by area and are updated frequently, so there’s no one correct answer nationwide. It’s up to you to know the local guidelines, apply them correctly and consistently, and stay up to date on changes. If needed, please learn the difference between cleaning and disinfecting here.

Please refer to CDC guidelines for cleaning and disinfection

The CDC’s Environmental Cleaning and Disinfection Recommendations are a great resource for preparing homes during this time, as is this list of EPA-approved products expected to be effective against COVID-19. Here are some basic guidelines for enhanced cleaning and disinfection: 

Wear masks and disposable gloves when cleaning and disinfecting. Be sure that everyone cleaning a home understands: 

The instructions for use on the label of the product

Any precautions needed for safe use and application 

How long product needs to stay on surface for effective disinfection (dwell time)

Any potential cross contamination with other chemicals

Perform deep disinfections prior to every arrival. Be sure to disinfect all areas likely to have been touched, including (but not limited to):

All handles: doors, cabinets, closets, windows, faucets, etc. 

COVID POLICY

Any railings: stair railings, decks, etc.

Switches and buttons: lights, remote control, front door lock keypad, garage door opener, etc.

Frequently used appliances: microwave, TV, coffee maker, washing machine, etc.

Frequently used kitchen items, including supplies under the sink

Arms of chairs, sofas, and outside seating

Toys, puzzles, playing cards, etc.

For soft/porous surfaces such as carpets, rugs, drapes, couches, etc., remove visible contamination and clean and disinfect with appropriate cleaners.

Clean all dishes and flatware (not just what was previously used) after every checkout and be sure to use any available sanitizing, hot water and heat drying settings when using the dishwasher. Also since bleach is an effective product when fighting any variables substance please add a tablespoon to the bottom of your dishwasher to help with odor, mildew buildup and in disinfecting dishes.

Special care should be taken with bedding, linens, and other soft materials, such as: 

• Make sure all pillows on beds have pillow protectors 

• Use duvet and duvet covers or triple sheeting rather than a plain blanket on top of beds

• Wash all blankets and comforters after every check out; use commercial laundry or appropriate strength chemicals for home laundry. Eliminate all extra pillows and blankets around the home

• Place extra sheets and/or blankets in a plastic zipper bag with a plastic tie so cleaners know they’re already clean and are ready for use

• Keep yourself safe by opening windows, maintaining physical distance inside the property, having the updated training on products and methods, and disposing of items property. Wash hands properly and stay home if you’re not feeling well. 

Finally, understand that this higher standard of cleanliness is the “new normal” and that sessions may take longer, may involve personal protective equipment (PPE) like masks, and methods may change over time for everyone’s well-being.

Please read the full list of CDC cleaning recommendations for U.S. households with suspected or confirmed Coronavirus. Travel restrictions and short-term rental bans have been increasing as local governments try to limit exposure to the virus. Here's what we know today. We understand that many of our guests have questions or concerns and they're trying to get answers as quickly as possible. However, we're currently prioritizing inquiries for check-ins within 72 hours, similar to others in the travel industry. 

IVL MASK POLICY

In order to keep you and everyone associated with Island Vibez Living safe, we are now requiring masks to be worn by our partners, guests, and homeowners whenever you will be talking to partners, guests, or our teams in person.
