3. Cleaning, Reset & Condition of the Studio
We provide a clean, sanitised, professionally reset studio at the start of your booking.
Our team carries out a standard one-hour turnaround between sessions. This includes:
• Routine surface sanitising
• Bathroom refresh
• Floor cleaning
• Furniture reset
• Disinfecting used toys
Deep cleaning is conducted separately, typically once per day when operational schedules allow. It is not part of the standard turnaround between sessions.
You must leave the studio in a similar condition. Used towels and equipment must be placed in the trunk provided, with toys wiped down before return. Guests are expected to tidy surfaces after use and remove any visible residue before departure.
To help maintain studio standards and avoid disruption to future bookings, materials that are difficult to clean, remove, or may cause damage are strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, glitter, confetti, powders, body paint, wax, silicone-based lubricants, oil-based products, fake blood, staining liquids, adhesives, and any other substance likely to leave residue, staining, odour, or excessive clean-up requirements.
Excessive mess, contamination, or misuse of the space is not included within standard turnaround and remains the responsibility of the guest.
If cleaning exceeds our standard turnaround time and affects the next booking, additional labour and disruption charges may apply.
