Summary: I always have one suggestion. Once a month have a group of deep cleaning done. It should take all day. Too much dust accumulates. Window blinds and lamp shades. If curtains are fabric toss in dryer with a dryer sheet. Gets the dust out and smell fresh. Please don’t forget the cobwebs along top of ceilings and corners. I have dust allergies and spent most of my time sneezing. The cabin is very nice. Keep it clean and updated.
