The investment may be attractive, but it is accompanied by a number of duties, including a comprehensive cleanup once the guests have vacated the premises.

It offers extensive and all-encompassing cleaning services for Airbnb rentals, to ensure that your property is always ready for the next guest and lives up to the five-star rating it was given.

Why You Should Get Your Airbnb Cleaned?

We are aware that you are a busy property owner who most likely oversees a number of homes in the neighbourhood. It is time to give our crew, which has more than 40 years of expertise in the cleaning industry, the opportunity to take care of all of your cleaning and organising needs for your Airbnb rental house. It takes a lot of work to be a good host, but our rental cleaners can make the experience more enjoyable for both you and your visitors.

You'll save yourself some time.

Finding the time to clean each and every rental property on your own is certainly not doable given that you are presumably in charge of maintaining many residences that are currently occupied. Yet, our cleaning specialists are able to arrive to your short-term rental property swiftly (and can be sent to many houses at the same time) in order to provide a comprehensive cleaning from top to bottom and get the home ready for the next guests.

Complete and thorough cleaning

Our seasoned professionals in disinfection have years of experience cleaning homes, as well as a methodical and time-saving strategy that they've developed over the years. We make use of checklists to ensure that all surfaces, including baseboards and the corners of countertops, are cleaned, and that the floors are either swept or washed. We will ensure that your Airbnb house has been updated and is clean and ready for the next guest to arrive.

Cleaning with disinfectant solutions is most successful on hard surfaces.

The guests won't have to wait to be served.

After each new guest, there is typically a waiting time of at least one day before the next occupant arrives to ensure that your short-term rental is immaculately clean for them. Because Merry Maids offers a cleaning service tailored specifically to the needs of Airbnb hosts, you won't have to keep your guests waiting for a home that has been thoroughly cleaned and sterilized from floor to ceiling. After we're done here, there's a good chance that you'll have a new renter at your Airbnb house.

Accumulate a number of laudatory comments.

When you use our cleaning service for Airbnb, your visitors will comment on how thoroughly they loved their stay and how clean your property was. You'll become a host and quickly rack up all the favorable evaluations, which will ensure that your property (or properties) are booked for the upcoming weeks and months.

What Kind of Expectations Should You Have About Airbnb's Cleaning Services?

Once entering your rental property, we will immediately begin evaluating the area and focusing our attention on any high-traffic areas as well as any spots that are difficult to access. From a high-touch point of view, we clean and sanitize everything using a style of maintenance that is more strategic in nature. We will remove dirt, dust, grime, fingerprints, and a variety of other unsightly messes from your Airbnb property so that you can keep it clean and continue to receive bookings.

Should You Apply to Work as a Cleaner for Airbnb?

There are a lot of moving parts involved in starting your own business, and with that comes a lot of planning and organization. Make certain that you have the necessary foundation, both literally and physically, to successfully manage the Airbnb cleaning business before you make the decision to do so.

Is your body in the shape it needs to be in to handle the physically demanding work that housekeeping requires on a regular basis?

If your health and mobility as a whole are not where they should be, it can be quite challenging to engage in activities that need you to move around a lot and use a variety of different portions of your body repeatedly. Discover techniques to keep both your physical and mental health in good shape in order to get ready for this work.

How Much Money Can You Make Working for Airbnb as a Cleaner?

The hourly rate of pay for a housekeeper working for Airbnb is approximately $24 on average. If you clean five days a week for six hours each day, you could be looking at an average monthly cost of approximately $2,880 depending on the frequency with which you execute cleaning assignments.

Because Airbnb housekeepers earn money by carrying out cleaning chores, the more work that is completed, the higher a housekeeper's rate of pay will be.

How to Get Started as an Airbnb Cleaner in 4 Easy Steps

Find below an easy-to-follow, step-by-step plan for beginning your own professional cleaning business catering to short-term rentals.

1. Put together a plan for your company.

A keen eye for specifics is an essential component of any successful company plan. There are a number of essential aspects of running a business that need your attention, like deciding on a name for your company, designing a suitable logo, establishing transportation needs, and purchasing supplies.

It would be to your advantage to review these particulars right from the beginning so that you can get a head start on drafting your cleaning business strategy.

The following are some examples of questions that could help you design your plan:

Do I wish to offer cleaning services for both the interior and exterior of a building?

Will I also provide extra services, such as cleaning carpets or providing other types of specialist services? Be as descriptive as you possibly can in order to increase the likelihood of gaining additional customers.

What kinds of cleaning supplies am I going to make use of? (such as alternatives that are less harmful to the environment or alternative cleaning products)

In addition to this, it is beneficial to conduct some market research on the various pricing structures and cleaning services provided by other vacation rental cleaners in your area. Check out how much other housekeepers charge for the services that you need done so that you can calculate how much you should charge for your own.

If you choose to incorporate further specialist cleaning, this fact will need to be represented in both the cost of your services and the overall marketing plan that you employ.

Carry out some research and make a side-by-side comparison of these cleaning services with those of other specializations. This will assist you in maintaining a competitive price structure and ensuring that your time is not undervalued. Just conducting research on Google, Yelp, or even Craigslist will allow you to identify cleaning services and compare their prices.

Also, consider whether or not you will be working alone or if you will require the assistance of an additional person on your cleaning team. As time goes on and your company continues to expand, this can end up changing. It is possible to meet other potential cleaners to hire on social networking websites such as Facebook, Angi, and Craigslist, among others, if this service is required.

2. It Is Okay to Promote Yourself; Don't Be Scared to Do So

Once you have a firm grasp on the fundamentals of running the business, it is time to put your newly acquired knowledge to use and begin marketing your Airbnb cleaning service.

There are a lot of different ways to get customers, the most common of which are getting referrals from other customers, having a website, and being active on social media. The marketplace for Turno cleaners is a good place to get started.

When you sign up for Airbnb, you will immediately be connected to local hosts in the area. You have the ability to determine your own prices and either accept or decline any project offer. This is an excellent place to start accumulating new customers for your business. There is a wide variety of online businesses, such as GoDaddy and Wix, from which you can select to easily create templates for a website. You can use these templates to create your own website.

Consider establishing profiles on Instagram and Facebook, in addition to establishing a website. You can get prompt answers to your situational questions by asking them in one of the many different Airbnb housekeeper groups that are available on Facebook. You can also gain more recognition by posting before-and-after photos of your cleaning process on your social media accounts. These will be of assistance to you when marketing your cleaning services.

3. Do Your Homework

To make sure your business is legally able to operate, check your state’s requirements before accepting cleaning projects.

Do you want to distinguish yourself from the competition among cleaning services? Think about investing in a bond or getting liability insurance. You can get these for a price that is not prohibitively expensive, and they will lend even more credibility to the appearance of your company.

Using the website of the Department of Commerce in your state as a reference for learning how to submit an application for business insurance. You are able to print your licenses and insurance documents directly from the internet, making the process quick and easy.

4. Improve the Efficiency of Communicating

As you acquire more experience and cleaning assignments, you will be required to maintain constant communication with Airbnb hosts. After you have determined the mode of communication that works best for you, it is imperative that you continue to be consistent.

It is quite beneficial to make use of a platform that, once you have accepted a project and finished the work associated with it, immediately sends project confirmations to the host. 

Turno is equipped with all of these capabilities and many more to ensure that your communication is as efficient as possible. Even hosts can make their own cleaning checklists, which will allow them to pay individualized and comprehensive attention to the properties of their guests.
