Five Hours of Thorough Cleaning
We spent five hours straight cleaning, including wet-mopping the wooden floors and scrubbing the kitchen, bathroom, and other wet areas.
Hayama is cooler than Tokyo, so you don’t sweat much even while cleaning, which makes the work comfortable.
Cleaning Tips
Dust could be blown out all at once with a Makita blower, which made the work efficient.
Polishing the Sink
We used a polisher on the sink to bring back its shine.
Disposing of Wood in the Wood Stove
Wood that had started to weather was disposed of by burning it in the wood stove.
A Break After Work
On the way home, we bought croquettes at Hayama Station (葉山ステーション) and took a break with a matcha frappé at Hinode Chaya (日の出茶屋).
Since we had only had sports drinks while working, this was a treat for ourselves for about ¥650.
Next Steps
After tidying up the exterior, we plan to start looking for tenants.
