How to Find the Right AirBnB Cleaners for Your Short-Term Rental

1. Identify your needs for an AirBnB cleaner

Before you begin your search for the perfect AirBnB cleaner for your short-term rental, it’s important to first take a step back and identify exactly what kind of cleaning services you need.

There are many different aspects involved with turning-over a short term rental between guests, and being able to clearly communicate what you are expecting to potential contractors will help not only find a partner, but also help the relationship in the long term. Are you looking for someone to just clean, or will they be responsible for more of the operations as well? Will they be responsible for laundry services?

Do you want to schedule your cleaners, or would you rather them schedule themselves automatically? Are you expecting photos before and/or after each cleaning? These are all questions that should be answered before moving forward with finding an AirBnB cleaner, as this will help narrow down the list of potential candidates and ensure that whoever is hired aligns with your specific requirements. Once these needs have been identified, it’s time to start looking into cleaners who specialize in AirBnB cleaning!

2. Research local cleaning companies that specialize in short-term rentals

Finding the right AirBnB cleaner for your short-term rental can be a daunting task. Before you begin your search for the perfect AirBnB cleaner, it’s important to identify exactly what kind of cleaning services you need and communicate those needs to potential contractors. This will help narrow down the list of potential candidates and ensure that whoever is hired aligns with your specific requirements.

Additionally, researching local cleaning companies that specialize in short-term rentals is also a great way to find qualified cleaners who have experience with AirBnBs. By including keywords such as “short term rental”, “cleaning”, and “Airbnb cleaning” in your research, you can easily find experienced professionals who are up to date on all the latest trends when it comes to Airbnb cleanings. It is important to note that, from the cleaning side, a residential job is very different than a short-term rental cleaning, and it is not necessarily a given to expect someone who is great at residential cleaning will also be great at short-term rentals.

There are a few apps that allow you to not only find cleaners, but automatically schedule them. These are a great resource, however, they typically promote owner operators who may not be able to handle the volume of jobs that they are accepting.

3. Ask for references and read reviews to find the best cleaners

After identifying the specific needs for your AirBnB cleaning, it’s important to begin researching local cleaning companies that specialize in short-term rentals. This will help you find experienced professionals who are up to date on all the latest trends when it comes to Airbnb cleanings. Once you've identified a few potential cleaners, be sure to ask for references and read reviews before making any decisions. Doing so can ensure that you choose the best cleaner for your AirBnB rental property, as well as one who aligns with your specific requirements. Look for companies that have been with their clients for extended periods of time. It is not overly difficult to find someone who can do a good job for a month or two, but what happens when they get comfortable with your business? Look for companies who have long-term relationships with their clients, and who have references from other hosts who have been using them for multiple months.

4. Compare rates and services offered by different cleaners

When you are looking for an AirBnB cleaner, it is important to compare rates and services offered by different cleaners. This will help you get the best value for your money while ensuring that all of your cleaning needs are met. Make sure to consider factors such as the type of cleaning service offered, the fees associated with each service, and any add-on services they may offer. Remember that companies who are charging a higher rate are likely receiving more demand due to their quality. The age old maxim that "you get what you pay for" seems to remain true in this industry. If any companies you are considering offer services such as off-site laundry, or purchasing of supplies, be sure to account for this in their price, and how much you may be saving by not having to pay for it yourself. With these tips in mind, finding an experienced Airbnb cleaning professional who meets all your requirements should be easy!

5. Discuss expectations with the cleaner before hiring them, such as supplies needed, scheduling, etc.

When it comes to hiring an AirBnB cleaner, communication is key. Before you hire a cleaner, make sure you have discussed all expectations with them such as the supplies needed for each job, scheduling of cleaning sessions, how you expect certain items to be staged, and any specific areas that may be unique to your home. It’s also important to discuss how often the cleaning service will need to be done in order to keep your short term rental looking its best. This way, you can ensure that all of your needs are met and that there won’t be any surprises when it comes time for the guests to arrive at your property.
