All natural cleaning products are available to help you keep your vacation home clean during your stay.

Some suggestions to help with this most non eco friendly amenity (that I love but I have found this is not the case for most).
One of the most common requests that guests have asked is that the AC does not run at night, (that's OK as our house dates back to 1753 so the thick walls keep it cooler than most houses anyway) the AC has been set to 'cool down' the rooms between 9pm and 10:30pm only.
The French tend to ask us to completely turn off the AC. They prefer natural air. I'm Canadian and ... well love AC but only at night just as I am falling asleep in a cool room hence how it is set up and the French seem OK with this but if you are reading this ... you are not French so maybe you would like something different ? Just WhatsApp me and I'll have it modified to suit.
Also, the cleaning team has found on nearly every cleaning day windows open and the AC running. Another reason why it is set for night time running.
SUGGESTIONS to help keep house cool during the summer :
Road facing rooms, in the morning shut your curtains.
Garden facing rooms, in the afternoon shut your curtains.
HEAT WAVE SUGGESTIONS :
Definitely the above and keep all doors and windows closed in the house closed (as often cooler in the house than outdoors).
In the kitchen, I personally around 3:30pm open the umbrella and angle it so that it shuts out the sun from most of the condition (as no AC there as we live with the doors open).
