Summer prep for villa and pool cleaning: what to watch for

Cottages left unused for a long time usually come with dust, cobwebs and traces of moisture. Before the summer season, general cleaning should focus mainly on the kitchen, bathroom and open terrace areas.

Tile and concrete surfaces around the pool need special attention against algae and mud traces — regular cleaning in these areas matters both for hygiene and for reducing slip risk.

Garden furniture, sun umbrellas and outdoor textiles can develop a musty smell after staying in a damp environment for a long time — which is why cleaning these items separately at the start of the season is recommended.

Since all of these processes require individual assessment, building a custom plan suited to the property's size and condition is the most effective approach.
