What Should Be Included in an Airbnb Turnover Cleaning Checklist?

A complete Airbnb turnover checklist covers laundering all linens and towels, full kitchen and bathroom sanitization, restocking guest essentials (toilet paper, soap, coffee), staging the space for photos, trash removal, and a final walkthrough to catch damage or missing items before the next guest checks in. Most professional turnovers take 2-3 hours for a 1-2 bedroom unit.

Why Hosts Hire This Out Instead of DIY

• Same-day turnaround between back-to-back bookings is hard to guarantee solo, especially with same-day check-in/checkout
• A consistent, vetted team protects a Superhost's review score better than rotating help
• Photo documentation after each clean gives hosts a paper trail if a guest disputes the property's condition

Pricing for professional turnovers typically starts around $140 per visit depending on unit size and scope.
