Airbnb and holiday let turnover cleaning checklist
A changeover checklist for short-let hosts: cleaning, linen, restocking and the final presentation check.
Quick answer
A good turnover covers four stages: strip and clean, linen and beds, restock, and a final presentation check against your listing photos. Most one- or two-bed lets take two to three hours.
Strip and clean
Strip beds, collect towels, clear bins and the fridge, run the dishwasher, clean bathrooms and kitchen surfaces, then dust, vacuum and mop.
Linen and beds
Fresh linen on every bed used, spare sets checked, towels folded to your house style, and any stains reported before they become permanent.
Restock and report
Toiletries, toilet roll, tea, coffee, dishwasher tablets and bin bags restocked. Damage, breakages or missing items photographed and reported to the host the same day.
Final check
Walk the property like a guest: lights working, heating set, keys in place, and every room matching the listing photos.
