Airbnb Cleaning Checklist
A standardized turnover checklist for Airbnb hosts and cleaners — every linen, every restock, every photo-ready surface. Printable, free.
What every Airbnb turnover should cover
- Bedrooms — strip, wash and remake beds with fresh linen, dust surfaces, vacuum.
- Bathrooms — toilet, shower, sink, mirrors, fresh towels, restock toiletries.
- Kitchen — dishes, sink, countertops, stovetop, microwave, fridge check, bins emptied.
- Living area — vacuum, dust, fluff cushions, reset furniture.
- Restock — toilet paper, paper towels, soap, coffee, tea, water.
- Final pass — check for damage, lost-and-found items, lights and locks.
Why a printable checklist beats an app
Cleaners don't want to install your app. They want a clear, single-page list they can tick off with a pen. PDF beats software every time for turnover work.
Make it your own
Every property is different. Add the quirks: "rinse the espresso machine drip tray", "check the patio for cigarette butts", "water the snake plant by the window". Save the template, print fresh for every booking.
FAQ
What's included in an Airbnb turnover checklist?
Strip and remake beds, clean both bathrooms top-to-bottom, kitchen surfaces and dishes, vacuum and mop, restock essentials (toilet paper, soap, coffee), check for damage, and reset the welcome touches.
How long should an Airbnb cleaning take?
A 1-bed unit usually takes 60–90 minutes for an experienced cleaner. A 3-bed family home is closer to 2.5–3 hours. Build buffer time between back-to-back bookings.
