Introduction

Picture this scenario: Your current Airbnb guests check out at 9 a.m., and new ones arrive at noon. With just three hours to transform your property back to pristine condition, the pressure is on. You could give it a quick once-over and hope for the best, but maintaining your coveted Superhost status requires more care and attention.

Cleanliness isn't just a nice-to-have for Airbnb properties—it's essential for garnering positive reviews, building your reputation as a host, and ultimately securing more bookings at premium rates. According to Airbnb's internal data, properties with consistent 5-star cleanliness ratings receive up to 20% more bookings than their competitors.

If you're wondering how to efficiently clean your Airbnb property while maintaining the highest standards, Choreless Laundry has the perfect solution to your biggest hosting challenge.

The Essential Airbnb Cleaning Checklist

Before diving into specific rooms, walk through your property and identify areas needing immediate attention. Then, use this comprehensive checklist to ensure no detail is overlooked:

Creating Bedroom Bliss

The more your Airbnb bedroom reminds guests of a luxury hotel experience, the more likely they are to leave glowing reviews. Follow these steps for hotel-quality bedrooms:

• Replace all bedding with freshly laundered linens, including sheets, pillowcases, comforters, and blankets

• Make the bed professionally with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, perfectly positioned pillows, duvet cover, and top sheet

• Dust all surfaces including light fixtures, ceiling fans, and furniture

• Vacuum thoroughly, covering floors, rugs, baseboards, and window sills

• Wipe down all surfaces such as nightstands, bed frames, dressers, and mirrors

• Check for and remove any personal items left by previous guests

Pro Tip: Choreless Laundry's Premium Unlimited Service ensures you always have fresh, professionally cleaned linens ready for quick turnovers without the hassle of doing laundry between guest stays.

Revitalizing Bathrooms

Bathrooms can make or break a guest's experience. Clean these spaces in a back-to-front order (shower to toilet to sink to floor) for efficiency:

• Deep clean the toilet, shower, and sink, removing any stains or buildup

• Polish mirrors and glass surfaces with an appropriate streak-free cleaner

• Replace used towels with fresh sets, including bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths

• Restock bathroom amenities such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, dental floss, and fresh soap

• Empty trash bins and replace liners

• Disinfect high-touch surfaces including doorknobs, light switches, and faucet handles

• Mop floors with disinfectant cleaner, paying special attention to corners and behind the toilet

Pro Tip: Choreless Laundry's Home & Bedding service can handle all your towels and bath mats, ensuring they're professionally cleaned, sanitized, and returned fresh for your next guests.

Creating a Sparkling Kitchen

Even if guests don't cook elaborate meals, they'll certainly use the kitchen for snacks, coffee, or storing takeout. Keep this area immaculate with these steps:

• Clear out all perishable food from the refrigerator

• Clean inside and outside of all appliances, including the oven, microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, and toaster

• Scrub countertops, stovetop, and sink with appropriate cleaners

• Wash and organize all dishes and cooking utensils

• Restock essential supplies like dish soap, paper towels, coffee filters, garbage bags, and napkins

• Sweep and mop floors, including under movable appliances when possible

Welcoming Living Spaces

The living room is where guests spend most of their time, so cleanliness here is paramount:

• Vacuum all floors, carpets, rugs, and upholstery, including under cushions

• Dust all surfaces including blinds, vents, light fixtures, window sills, baseboards, and shelves

• Clean entertainment systems including TV screens and remote controls (disinfect these thoroughly)

• Arrange furniture and decorative items for an inviting appearance

• Check that all electronics and lamps are working properly

Going the Extra Mile: Touches That Create 5-Star Reviews

What separates standard hosts from Superhosts? Those thoughtful extra touches that make guests feel special:

• Welcome treats such as locally sourced chocolates or fresh flowers

• Complimentary refreshments like bottled water or local snacks

• Convenience items including phone chargers, hair dryers, iron/ironing board

• Extra comfort amenities such as additional blankets, pillows, and throws

• Local guidebooks or personalized recommendations for nearby attractions

Pro Tip: While focusing on these special touches, let Choreless handle your laundry needs with our Never Run Out™ Guarantee, ensuring you always have clean linens and towels ready for guest arrivals.

Deep Cleaning Between Guest Stays

When you have less than 24 hours between guest departures and arrivals, efficiency is key. Here's how to tackle a thorough turnover cleaning:

1. Begin by decluttering and removing all trash

2. Start a load of laundry immediately (or have Choreless pick up your laundry)

3. Vacuum all surfaces including floors, furniture, and stairs

4. Replace bedding and towels with fresh, clean items

5. Thoroughly clean bathrooms and kitchen using disinfectants

6. Wipe down all high-touch surfaces such as doorknobs, light switches, remotes, and handles

7. Check for maintenance issues that need addressing before the next guest arrives

8. Refresh outdoor spaces including sweeping decks/porches and wiping down outdoor furniture

Maintaining Cleanliness During Guest Stays

For longer bookings, maintaining cleanliness throughout the stay enhances the guest experience:

• Provide clear instructions on trash disposal and recycling

• Leave cleaning supplies in accessible locations for guest use

• Offer mid-stay cleaning services for bookings longer than a week

• Ensure laundry facilities or services are available for extended stays

Why Outsourcing Your Airbnb Cleaning Makes Financial Sense

Many hosts discover that DIY cleaning between guests quickly becomes overwhelming, especially when:

• You're managing multiple properties

• You have a full-time job alongside hosting

• You experience back-to-back bookings with quick turnovers

• You want to maintain consistent 5-star cleanliness ratings
