Airbnbs can be a great way to have a comfortable place to stay while traveling. However, if they are not properly cleaned after each guest leaves, they can quickly become dirty and unpleasant and result in a bad review. In this article, we will give you some Airbnb cleaning tips on how to clean an Airbnb quickly and easily.

How often should I clean my Air BnB?

Generally, Airbnb hosts do a comprehensive cleaning before guests plan to check into Airbnb. Again, a detail-oriented form of cleaning is done after the guests check out from the serviced apartment. Meanwhile, a quick fix cleaning of bathrooms and other suites is done on a daily basis. 

Airbnb cleaners perform the job of dusting the bedspreads to change them into new ones. A neat bathroom cleanup is undertaken wherein bathroom linens, soaps, and shampoo bottles are refilled. At the same time, the tissue rolls are added to the bathroom closets. The accumulating debris from dustbins is thrown out too. 

Restocking toiletries, like soap, shampoos, tissues, and other basic hygiene stuff must be done every guest check out.

Daily cleanups are done in about 30-40 minutes of time. It’s advisable to do deep cleaning once every 3 months for tough stains and hard-to-reach surfaces.

Cleaning Airbnb checklist

• Property inspection- The moment guests leave your property, you can have a detailed inspection of the property to remove items left behind by guests.

• Bedding– You must do a laundry wash of soiled bed sheets or spreads. Again, you are required to change into new bedsheets or spreads. This way, you make the bedding for next-time use.
• Cleaning the kitchen countertop– You must now clean up the utensils of the kitchen counter. The list includes cleaning the dishes kept inside the sink. You must clean the kettle, toaster, stove, microwave oven, etc.
• Dry vacuuming- You can use a portable vacuum cleaner to dust the curtain drapes, sofa cushions, rugs, carpets, etc.

• Doing the bathrooms– clean-and-scrub bathroom closets, including toilets, bathtubs, and shower closets.

• Generally, you can wipe clean light switches, door knobs, and other countertops.

• You must remove the trash.

• Refueling the amenities- You must refuel amenities. Add coffee sachets, tea bags, trash bags, paper napkins, towels, hand soap, shower gels, dish wash soap, and shampoo sachets.

What is the fastest way to clean an Airbnb?

These are some of the hottest hacks Airbnb owners or hosts use to get the cleanup done in a quicker manner. Let us have a run-down into what these are:

Loading the washing machines first

This is the first thing you must do before the guests check into the serviced apartment or an Airbnb studio.. 

As a first step, load the washing machine. These include pillow covers, bedspreads, bed sheets, towels, hand napkins, and body towels. By doing this, you can eliminate a large portion of the clutter. 

Polishing wooden floors

Your guests can provide you with rave reviews when you provide them with glossy floors. You can add vinegar to door varnish paints. 

You can polish hardwood floors, cupboards, wooden desks, etc. This can lend a glossy shine to furniture sets kept inside the living-cum-dining room areas. 

Cleaning light switches

Guests would love clean and sparkly switchboards to use every time. You can use a detergent that is meant for cleaning switchboards. 

By rubbing alcohol, the cleanup is done faster and in a more effective manner. This is one of the most effective Airbnb cleaning tips you would have ever heard of. 

Faster technique to clean the dirt or grime across window sills

You can use a lemon-infused cleanser to clean the dirt or grime across window sills. A cleaning liquid that is made from lemons will have antibacterial properties. 

You can also mix lemon juice into the cleaning liquid while you thoroughly clean up dust near window sills or corners of the room. You can also use neem-infused cleaning liquids for an antimicrobial wash or cleanup of window areas. 

A quick-fix idea for shower curtains

Again, you cannot afford to leave shower curtains unattended. Hence, shower curtains have to be cleaned up from time to time. 

You can use a plastic liner, spray it and wipe it down for every guest. Changing your shower curtain every 2 months is ideal.

To avoid a hairy situation.

Finding someone else’s hair under pillow covers or bedspreads can be a turn-off for a guest. 

Your property most likely will receive negative reviews if your guests find one. How are you going to tackle the situation as a host? 

Here is a quick fix idea. Before you do the bedding, take a lint roller to sheets, pillowcases, and blankets. Again, this would remove the dry hair across bedding sets. 

Thorough dry vacuuming of the bedding sets can also be done post the roller cleanup. Then, you can change bedspreads, sheets, or pillow covers. This double-clean-up technique will ensure you have gotten the dust, grime, and hairy particles out of your bedding space. 

Hand clean bathroom floors

You can do an overall clean-and-scrub of your bathrooms. Then quickly do a hand clean up of the floors. This way, any hair entangled around the corner of the bathrooms or bathtubs will easily come out. 

Dry vacuuming the edges of the bathrooms, bathtubs, and edgy corners of the bathrooms can also solve the purpose in terms of getting that entangled hair out. You do not want your guests to spot them, do you?
