Airbnb cleaning or regular home cleaning: what's the difference?

For short-stay hosts, timing and handover matter just as much as the size of the space. This guide helps you ask useful questions and explain the job clearly. Every site and provider is different, so use it as a starting point rather than a substitute for a site assessment.

What regular home cleaning focuses on

Choose the priority areas and frequency around the way people use the home.

What a guest changeover needs

Prepare linen, check supplies, report anything unusual and work to the next check-in deadline.

Which services need a separate quote?

Don't assume laundry, linen, deep stain removal or damage handling are included.

Could a regular arrangement help?

For several properties, discuss a schedule based on bookings and an agreed checklist.
