And in some cases, e.g. the laundry room, can't tell if the detergent has been refilled, just that it's clean- but to cover floors, etc.? 

Also RE has some marginal tax benefitsIm not disagreeing with you though, if someone has 500k cash today and they wont use debt they are most likely better off long term in the market vs owning an STR I've struggled with this because while it isn't apples to apples there is a beauty to VTSAX set it and forget it as opposed to having to hand deliver laundry detergent to STR because the previous guest took all the laundry pods and current guest can't make it a mile up the street to purchase their own detergent lol. 

But when I go to my STR after the cleaners have left, I don't smell any scent, so that's good.I do leave both regular laundry detergent and dryer sheets, and unscented of both for guests.

, this location can't be beat and they're over-generous in providing extra bulk supplies of trash bags, hand soap, shampoo, body wash, laundry and dishwasher detergent.

Basic stuff I've restocked:shampoo, conditioner, soap, paper towels, toilet paper, 1 frying pan, 1 medium size pot, silverware, knife large wooden spoon, dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent, olive oil, salt, and pepper.Some pro tips: I always do this shopping at Costco and buy quality items at bulk and a bit cheaper.

Launder any removable fabric items like curtains and cushion covers with a detergent designed to neutralize odors.Ozone generators can neutralize odors by breaking down odor-causing molecules.

Most guests think of short-term rentals as hotels now so making sure you have nice touches will help a lot (i.e. extra pillows & supplies, soaps & detergents, etc).

Providing shampoo and soap and detergent for washer/dishwasher.  

Unlike a long term rental, you’ll also be paying for all utilities, internet, yard maintenance and for consumables like toilet paper, paper towels, soap, laundry detergent etc.

.☐ Scrub hard surfaces: Use a mixture of detergent and water or a commercial mold remover.
