Hiring a cleaning crew
When hiring a cleaning crew you’ll want to discuss expectations and automate your cleaning as much as possible. This post goes over in detail how to find anAirbnb cleaning service. There are many websites that connect cleaners and hosts, or you could go the more old-fashioned route and hire people through word of mouth or find someone on a site like Nextdoor.
What to include in your Cleaning Kit
Whether you or a cleaning crew is doing the dirty work, you’ll want to purchase cleaning products in bulk and have them in easily accessible storage. Many hosts organize their daily cleaning supplies in a simple 12-gallon bucket to carry from room to room.
Include the following in every cleaning kit:
- Disinfectants for bathrooms and other germ-prone areas
- Note: Never place chemicals in a container they did not come in, or use hand-written labels. This is a regulation by OSHA.
- Detergent/we like pine sol
- Glass cleaner
- Magic eraser
- Microfiber rags
- Multi-purpose spray/409
- Razor blades or chisel
- Scrub pads
- Swiffer/mop and broom
- Toilet brush
- Paper towels
- Vacuum
- Wood polish (for that finishing touch!)
- Windex
