4 Important (But Often Overlooked) Things To Look For When Booking a Vacation Rental

4 Important (But Often Overlooked) Things To Look For When Booking a Vacation Rental

 

Ready for a change of scenery? If you’re planning to hit the road and will be  choosing a vacation rental such as an Airbnb or VRBO, there are many important factors to consider. Number of bedrooms and property location tend to be the most popular search criteria, but that’s not all you should consider when looking for the right place to stay.  

When planning a vacation or any type of getaway using a vacation rental, these four important (but often overlooked) factors will help make your travels safer, healthier, more enjoyable and free from stress.

What types of features should you look for?

1. Space and Accessibility

The next thing to consider when choosing a vacation rental are home features. What home features are a priority for you for the duration of your stay? Do you want a big kitchen? An outdoor space? Is it a clean modern home with laundry, heat, and AC? 

Do you need a property that’s handicap accessible? Handicap facilities are not always available, so finding this out in advance will make your vacation getaway so much easier.   

2. Office and Technology

More people than ever before work remotely, making high-speed wireless internet a must. There’s nothing worse than arriving at your destination, laptop in hand, only to realize there’s no WiFi. It’s also a good idea to inquire about cell service.

3. Air Purification and Indoor Air Quality

Now more than ever, good air quality is a top priority and should be on the minds of everyone who travels. There are several types of air quality offenders you need to be aware of as you choose a vacation rental.

Dirt, dust, and smoke

The first type of airborne offenders are invisible airborne particles such as dust, dirt and smoke. These particles can cause chronic bronchitis, asthma attacks, decreased lung function, coughing, painful breathing, cardiac problems and heart attacks – definitely NOT the kind of souvenirs you want to bring home from your trip!

Airborne virus

In addition to airborne particles, viruses can also be a concern. Studies show viruses can remain airborne for longer periods of time and travel further than originally thought, contaminating surfaces and the air and heightening the risk of transmission.

Mold, cleaning chemicals, and pets

It is also necessary to consider the presence of mold, cleaning chemicals and pets in a vacation rental. Pet rules are not the same for every rental. Keep in mind that other people and possibly pets have previously stayed in this facility, so asking about the cleaning policy can eliminate some of the stress of staying in a vacation rental. 

So what should you do? Find out if the rental properties you’re considering have an air purification system, like the EnviroKlenz® Air System Plus UV Air Purification System.

The EnviroKlenz® Air System Plus UV Air Purification System safely and effectively combines advanced chemistry technology, germicidal UVC, and HEPA filtration to capture and destroy airborne toxic and noxious gasses, particulates, allergens, bacteria, viruses, and other allergy triggers.

4. Other Safety Features

Safety features are a necessary consideration while planning your vacation, yet they’re often overlooked.  Smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, window locks and clearly marked exits are vital to ensuring your safety.  

Working security cameras and secure locks are a must to provide a safe environment.

If you are carrying valuables, make sure your destination has a secure place to store them. A well-lit parking area is also an important feature in an unfamiliar location. 

If you are traveling with young children, it is important to remember that not all rentals are child proof. All safety precautions are essential for a stress-free vacation.

Finding the right property

Read the rental property descriptions thoroughly. If you still have questions, use the contact information in the listing to connect with the host before making reservations.

Odor Control Solutions for Indoor Cannabis Grow Rooms

Growing cannabis is an expanding business that over recent years has taken off. The expansion has stemmed from the new laws that have made medical marijuana and even recreational marijuana use legal in some states around the United States. Because of this, grow houses have increased with more and more people entering into the cannabis market. These grow houses or grow rooms that contain an unknown number of cannabis plants will release a strong, skunk-like odor that will emanate throughout the whole environment. Depending on the strain of cannabis, some can have a stronger odor than others, but when you are dealing with a large grow of the plant inside an area it will be one heck of a task to reduce the cannabis odors no matter the magnitude of the strain odor.

The unmistakable symptoms of allergies have kicked up once again inside of your home every time you walk in the indoor space. Have you started to pick up on the fact that the symptoms are magnified and even more problematic when you are in your bedroom or on soft surfaces such as a couch, flooring, and even using a blanket? Allergens can form inside of a home quickly, rapidly, and aggressively, particularly when optimal conditions are present. Whether it be pet dander that spreads from your household pet, dust that forms from infrequent cleanings of the space, or even dust mites that develop from the dust and other debris found in a home on soft surfaces like a bed or sofa. One of the most common allergens to form on these surfaces and in these environments is the dreaded dust mites. These little, microscopic allergenic bugs are potentially problematic allergens that can spread and grow rapidly in the soft surfaces of your home, including your bed where most humans spend a larg...
