Will there be a vacuum cleaner?

[tuzanne]

Yes I agree with the replies above. Book a site with an owner rather than tour operator. I have only just bought my villa which will be ready for this summers season. When someone books through me I will be happy to spend any amount of time if replying to their questions. I myself will be proving hair dryers in both ensuites. Most people would be pleased not to have to pack a travel hair dryer in their already overloaded suitcase. Same goes for things such as tea towels, bath towels etc. As far as proving washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets I have never had any supplied in villas I have rented in the past. However, I always thought it would be great if 14 dishwasher tablets and a couple of washing machine tablets were already there. When you go to the supermarket you always have to buy a large box and then either take them home in an already loaded suitcase or leave them. Perhaps the man company should provide a basic pack which includes the following at a reasonabe extra price for renters. Dishwasher tablets, washing power/tablets, fabric conditioner, cooking oil, washing up liquid for odd small items which you can't be bothered to put in dishwasher. Also the food pack could contain the basics for a small breakfast or snack when arriving late at night such as tea bags (although like most English people I usually bring my own PG Tips), milk, sugar, coffee, bread, butter, biscuits, jam and cornflakes. Do any other villa owners provide these packs and are people willing to pay for them at a reasonable price. I am assuming that owners are not out to make a profit on them but to just cover cost of providing them.

You could if you packed and left them for your MC to put out make up a welcome pack of a few dish washing and clothes washing tablets...I sure a lot of people don't... incase a child gets hold of the things if they are left under the sink etc.......

I wonder do people have their MC remove items like that....or are they left for the next guests....??

[huckleberry house]

They have to be removed because of the risk of a child eating them.Any that are left at the home will be removed by the MC for this reason.Guests are best advised to pack their own rather than buy them out there and take home any left over.

The same with bin bags etc,with a lot of Mcs especially the larger companies it can be a different cleaner every time and they will just assume that all items are to be removed so no matter how many bags you leave they will go for sure.

Thanks for that.
Not having a dish washer ourselves- are tablets universal, and do you also need salt and when do you use it?

[blott]

You can use dishwasher tablets you can purchase in the UK - in fact, I'd recommend that as you can get smaller packs here than in Florida. If you get the ones with rinse aid included, you won't need anything else.

The dishwashers hold 12 place settings so, unless there are loads of you going, you probably just need one tablet for one wash a day. Don't forget that glasses and delicate stuff go on the top shelf.
