How it works

Three minutes, then never again

1

Pick the rooms

Each selected room prints with its own task list, in the order a cleaner actually moves through a property.

2

Add your restock list

The consumables you want replaced every turnover. This is the section that stops the 9 PM message about missing toilet paper.

3

Print it and leave it

One page, ticked and signed on the way out. A signed checklist is also the document that settles who left the stain.

Why a signed checklist changes the turnover

A cleaner working from memory does an excellent job in a property they know and an inconsistent one everywhere else. The checklist is not about distrust, it is about the order of operations, and about the four items every property has that nobody guesses.

The signature line is the part hosts skip and then wish they had. When a guest reports a stain that was there on arrival, or when you find damage two turnovers later, a signed and dated checklist tells you which turnover it appeared in. Without it, the conversation is two people remembering differently.

Keep it to one page. A checklist that runs to three gets skimmed like any other long document, and a skimmed checklist is worse than none because it creates a false record.

Questions

Cleaning checklists, answered

What should an Airbnb cleaning checklist include?

Room-by-room tasks in the order a cleaner moves through the property, the consumables to restock, the photos to take at the end, a place to report damage, and a signature. Anything beyond one page stops being read.

Is the checklist really free?

Yes. Pick your rooms, download the PDF, no account and no email. It prints on letter or A4 without reformatting and carries no watermark.

Should the cleaner take photos every turnover?

Yes, and it takes ninety seconds. A dated set of photos from every turnover is what turns a damage claim from your word against the guest's into a documented before and after.

How long does an Airbnb turnover take?

Roughly ninety minutes for a studio and three hours or more for a four-bedroom house, laundry included. A checklist does not make it faster on the first pass, it makes it consistent, which is what protects your reviews.

What do I do with the signed checklist?

Keep it with the turnover photos. If a guest reports a problem, you have a dated record of the property's condition when it was handed over, which is the evidence a resolution case runs on.

Can I use this for a cleaning contract?

It is a per-turnover work document, not an agreement. Use it as the scope annex to whatever contract you sign, so the cleaner and you are agreeing about the same list of tasks.

Notes

  • Task lists come from the turnover routines of short-term rental cleaners, not from a published standard. Adapt them to your property and to what your own cleaner already does well.
