5 Things Every Airbnb Host Should Know About Turnover Cleaning

Turnover cleaning isn't the same job as a normal domestic clean — it's done against a fixed deadline, to a fixed checklist, every single time, because the next guest doesn't care that the last one left the place messy.

1. Linen and towels get changed every time, no exceptions — even for a one-night stay. 2. A consistent checklist matters more than a thorough-but-inconsistent one, since guests notice the small misses (a hair in the shower, a smudged mirror) far more than they notice general cleanliness. 3. Restocking basics (toilet roll, soap, coffee) is part of the clean, not a separate job. 4. Fast turnaround windows need a cleaner who treats your booking calendar as a hard deadline, not a rough guide. 5. Photo proof after each clean protects you if a guest ever disputes the property's condition.

We build all five into every short-let clean we do, with a photo checklist sent to you straight after — so you know the property's guest-ready before the next check-in, without having to check yourself.
