5 Tricks to Maximize Your Hospitality Cleaning Budget This October

Introduction
October signals two things for hotels and resorts in the Southwest: the start of budget season
and the countdown to the holiday rush. With occupancy expected to rise and guest expectations
at their highest, this is the month to make strategic cleaning decisions. Here are 5 tricks to
maximize your cleaning budget in October so you’re fully prepared for the holiday season.

1. Audit Your Property Before the Holidays
   A walkthrough with housekeeping and engineering staff in October highlights priority areas

before holiday guests arrive. By addressing high-use spaces now, you prevent costly last-
minute emergencies in December.

2. Apply the “10 Cent Rule” for Budgets
   Presenting carpet cleaning as a cost of just 10 cents per room per day is especially effective
   during October’s budget discussions. This simple math proves to owners that cleanliness is an
   investment, not just an expense, during the busiest time of the year.
3. Think Beyond Carpets
   Guests notice more than just floors. Drapes, banquet chairs, PTAC units, and tile are equally
   important. A complete October deep clean ensures every detail is ready for holiday weddings,
   conferences, and family vacations.
4. Take Advantage of Off-Season Discounts
   Before November and December bring peak travel, October is the best time to schedule deep
   cleaning. Vendors like Renue Systems of Arizona and Renue Systems of New Mexico often
   offer better rates during transitional months.
5. Request a Free Demo Before Year-End
   Seeing results before committing is a budget-friendly strategy. Free demos in October help you
   showcase ROI to ownership, making it easier to secure approvals for services that will keep
   your property holiday-ready.
   Conclusion
   October is the ideal month to get ahead of the holiday season. By auditing your property,
   applying per-room math, and scheduling strategic cleanings, you’ll protect your budget and
   impress guests during the busiest months of the year. Renue Systems of New Mexico and
   Arizona is here to help you shine all season long.
