Keeping guests coming back to stay in your Airbnb isn’t just about how tidy it is. That warm and welcoming atmosphere that earns glowing reviews and repeat bookings requires professional cleaning.
Here’s how to clean your Airbnb property to perfection.
Ensure top-to-bottom cleaning
For a thorough clean, working from top to bottom is best. Dust or wipe higher surfaces first before you vacuum or mop floors. This process avoids recontamination of clean spaces and aids efficient cleaning practices. It’s part of what makes a professional service stand out, creating sparkling spaces down to the floors.
Clean kitchens & bathrooms
Airbnb kitchens and bathrooms are high-impact zones where meticulous cleaning attention is often needed the most. In the kitchen, all counters, sinks, cabinet handles and appliances should be disinfected. Wipe down inside drawers and exterior appliances, like fridges and microwaves. In bathrooms, scrub surfaces, sinks, showers, bathtubs, taps and mirrors until they shine. You can even use specialist products for glass and sanitary surfaces for a high-finish polish and good hygiene.
Tackle dust
Each new turnover should warrant a thorough dusting, working from the top down. This means tackling everything from dust on light fixtures and picture frames to shelves and skirting boards. Use microfibre cloths to effectively trap dust without spreading it around. Regular dusting ensures surfaces, furniture and flooring remain cleaner for longer.
Take out the rubbish
For a fresh feel, Airbnbs should be rubbish-free. Between stays, all bins should be emptied, replacing the liners and checking for leftover packaging or tissues caught in the base. Any perishables left behind should be removed. This simple step prevents unpleasant odours and prepares spaces for deep cleaning.
Do linen & towel washes
Fresh linen is non-negotiable. All beds need to be fully stripped, and towels should be collected for washing. Bedding and towels need to be washed on hot settings for ultimate freshness. Professional Airbnb cleaners can often take them to the local laundrette you have an account with. Replace them with clean and neatly-made linens.
Top-up guest supplies
Well-stocked amenities make guests feel well looked after during their stay. Replenish any essentials you provide like toilet paper, hand soap, dishwasher tablets, shower gel, tea, coffee and other kitchen staples. A new set of provisions reassures guests there has been a professional turnaround between guest visits. Adding these details also helps with good reviews.
Schedule routine Airbnb cleans between guests
Consistency is the key to professionally cleaning your Airbnb. Turnover between guests must be timed and executed reliably, so use an experienced company who can schedule cleaning around your booking requirements. Whether it’s back-to-back stays or longer gaps between guests, regular cleaning keeps your property in quality condition all year round.
