Keeping your Hawaiian luxury home in tip-top shape

The natural wonders of the Aloha State are best enjoyed from the comforts of a beautiful luxury home. In Hawaii, buying a premium property in an excellent, exclusive location is the first step to owning a prized and well valued property. If you plan to be in your home only during holidays and extended vacations, stringent housekeeping measures need to be put in practice.


Keeping a luxury estate requires full-time staff, led by an executive housekeeper. The housekeeper of your luxury home in Hawaii should be well-acquainted with the conditions in the state, especially the tropical climate and how it affects furnishings and clothing. 



For example, prime properties in a waterfront location, housekeepers should take into consideration how the humidity and the salty air may affect outdoor and indoor furnishings, and act accordingly. This can mean putting artworks in enclosed rooms, choosing wooden furniture with higher natural oil content for open patios and balconies.

It will also be their responsibility to regularly inspect parts of the house that are most exposed to the elements, to check for damage: the doors and windows, chimney, furnace, and vents, and the roof and gutter. On a related note, owners of luxury homes need to find the best home cleaning materials, because they will help resist wear and tear and preserve.
