Frequently asked questions
What should an Airbnb cleaning checklist cover?
It should cover every guest facing room, linen, restocking, touch points, appliances, safety equipment, staging and a final arrival walk through. It should also say how damage or missing stock is reported.
How is this different from a property inventory?
An inventory records what the property contains and its condition. A turnover checklist records the work completed between stays and whether the property is ready for the next guest.
Should cleaners take photos after every turnover?
Arrival photos create a simple record of the finished standard and help the manager see a problem before check in. Keep the photo routine short and consistent so it actually gets done.
Can I customise the checklist for each property?
Yes. Delete rooms and checks that do not apply, add the property stock levels and link to reference photos for the exact bed, furniture and amenity setup.
