Welcoming guests into your Airbnb isn’t just about providing a cozy space—it’s about ensuring a flawlessly clean and comfortable stay every time. As a host, staying on top of Airbnb’s cleaning requirements isn’t just recommended, it’s essential. Cleanliness plays a crucial role in securing 5-star reviews, returning guests, and maximizing occupancy.
At BraBos Cleaning Services, we help Boston Airbnb hosts—from Brighton Ave to Beech Glen Street and Saratoga Street to Falls Boulevard—keep their rentals sparkling clean and guest-ready. Whether you manage one unit or several, this guide covers everything you need to know to meet and exceed Airbnb’s expectations.
✅ The Ultimate Airbnb Cleaning Checklist
1. Prepare for the Next Guest
Before every check-in, take the time to ensure everything is spotless and fully stocked.
-
Thorough Surface Cleaning: Clean all surfaces, including countertops, appliances, mirrors, and sinks. Don’t forget to disinfect high-touch areas like door handles, light switches, and remote controls.
-
Trash & Recycling: Empty all trash bins and sanitize them. Take out any leftover waste to eliminate odors.
-
Restock Essentials: Refill toilet paper, hand soap, paper towels, dishwashing liquid, bath mats, and kitchen sponges. Having these basics in place shows you care about your guest’s comfort.
🧼 Deep Cleaning Protocols That Impress
2. Cleanliness Guests Can See (and Feel)
Guests don’t want to see signs of the previous stay—they want a fresh experience.
-
High-Touch Surfaces: Wipe and sanitize doorknobs, light switches, drawer handles, remote controls, and thermostats.
-
Floors & Carpets: Vacuum and mop thoroughly. Schedule periodic deep cleans for rugs and upholstery to maintain a fresh-smelling space.
-
Linen & Towels: Always wash with high-quality detergent. Replace linens that are worn, stained, or torn. Don’t forget mattress and pillow protectors.
-
Dishwasher & Sink: Make sure all dishes are clean and put away. Scrub out the sink and run the dishwasher when needed.
-
Disinfect Bathrooms: Scrub toilets, showers, bathtubs, sinks, and mirrors. Sanitize toilet handles and bathroom switches.
💯 Meeting Airbnb’s Cleaning Standards
Airbnb expects all hosts to meet their Enhanced Cleaning Protocols. Here’s how to stay compliant:
-
Use EPA-approved disinfectants
-
Wear gloves while cleaning
-
Ventilate rooms during and after cleaning
-
Wash linens on high heat
-
Clean before disinfecting (don’t just spray and wipe)
BraBos Cleaning helps local hosts implement these standards effortlessly with our trusted, trained professionals.
✨ Boosting Guest Experience Through Cleanliness
The little things matter more than you think.
-
Attention to Detail: Fold towels neatly, fluff pillows, align chairs and bedding, and stage décor in an inviting way.
-
Welcome Touches: Leave a short handwritten note, a bottle of water, or a small welcome gift to make your guests feel at home.
-
Clean Reputation = Higher Ratings: A spotless stay is one of the top reasons guests leave 5-star reviews. Consistency leads to loyalty.
🔁 Maintaining Cleanliness Between Guests
Routine is key to keeping your listing guest-ready—especially during high season.
-
Implement a Cleaning Checklist: Follow a structured process after each checkout to avoid missed details.
-
Rotate Deep Cleaning Tasks: Every few weeks, go beyond the surface—clean baseboards, vents, behind appliances, and under furniture.
-
Laundry Best Practices: Use labeled bins for clean and used linens. Wash at high temperatures and double-check for stains or damage before reuse.
