Housekeeping Secrets: Create a Spa-Like Retreat at Home with Hotel-Inspired Cleaning
April has arrived, and with it comes school holidays, Easter celebrations, and a well-earned chance to relax. If you're not heading away, why not turn your home into the ultimate staycation spot?
At ahs hospitality, we know a thing or two about creating fresh, inviting spaces. Now we're sharing our favourite tips to help you bring that hotel-level luxury into your everyday — because you deserve a little self-care this holiday season. 
1. Clear the Clutter
The first step to creating a peaceful, spa-like atmosphere at home is simplicity. Hotels and Spas achieve that calming effect with clean surfaces, neatly folded towels, and minimal visual clutter. Start by doing a quick reset in your bedroom or bathroom — clear the countertops, fold blankets, and put things back in their place. A tidy space instantly feels more luxurious and inviting. 

2. Clean with Purpose
There’s nothing quite like that freshly cleaned, just-checked-in feeling. At ahs hospitality, we know it’s the little details that make a big difference — polished mirrors, spotless handles, and gleaming glass surfaces that bring a space to life. To achieve that same sparkling finish at home, use microfiber cloths for streak-free results and add a hint of citrus to your cleaning products for a fresh, spa-like aroma.
3. Make Your Bed the Star
Hotel beds are iconic for a reason — clean linens, cloud-like comfort, and effortlessly elegant styling. You can recreate that same experience at home with fresh sheets, fluffed pillows, and a neatly folded throw. For an extra touch of luxury, spritz a little lavender pillow spray to create a calming end-of-day ritual.
4. Set the Mood
Spas are all about engaging the senses — from scent and lighting to soothing sounds. Create a peaceful atmosphere at home by using soft lighting or candles, playing gentle background music, and diffusing essential oils like lavender, bergamot, or sandalwood to infuse your space with calming energy.

5. Upgrade Your Bathroom Experience
You don’t need marble countertops to create a high-end hotel feel at home. Simply organise your toiletries, roll your towels neatly, and add thoughtful touches like fresh flowers, bath salts, or your favourite skincare products displayed on a tray. For an added touch of indulgence, slip into a cozy robe and slippers to complete the spa-like experience.
