Gather Cleaning Supplies

Gather all the cleaning supplies and equipment required for the cleaning tasks. This may include cleaning solutions, detergents, disinfectants, microfiber cloths, sponges, mops, vacuum cleaners and any other tools specific to the cleaning requirements of the rental property.

Check Inventory

Before starting the cleaning process, check the inventory of essential items in the property. This includes bed linen, towels, toiletries, kitchen utensils and other amenities. Ensure that there is an adequate supply of these items for guests’ use and replenish as necessary.

Review the Cleaning Checklist

Familiarise yourself with the cleaning checklist specific to the rental property. The checklist outlines the cleaning tasks and areas that need attention to ensure nothing is overlooked during the cleaning process. Use the checklist as a guide to ensure consistency and thoroughness.

Communicate with the Host or Management

If you are a cleaning contractor or service provider, communicate with the host or property management to obtain any specific instructions or requirements. This may include any special cleaning preferences, areas of focus or current issues that need attention. Clear communication will ensure that the cleaning process meets the host’s or management’s expectations.

Safety Precautions

Make safety a priority during the preparation phase. Identify any potential hazards or risks within the property, such as slippery floors, faulty electrical sockets or broken appliances. Take the necessary precautions, such as wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and ensuring that safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers, are in place and working properly.

Time Management

Assess the time available for cleaning and plan tasks accordingly. Estimate how long each cleaning task will take and allow sufficient time to complete it. Effective time management will help ensure that the cleaning process stays on track and is completed within the allotted time.

Prioritise High-Traffic Areas

Identify high traffic areas that need extra attention and prioritise them for cleaning. These areas can include entrances, kitchens, bathrooms and living rooms where guests spend the most time. By focusing on these areas first, you can make an immediate positive impression on guests.

Prepare for Special Circumstances

Consider any special circumstances that may require extra preparation. For example, if there are guests with allergies, ensure that hypoallergenic cleaning products are available. If there are special guest requests or accommodations, such as cribs or extra bedding, have them prepared in advance to meet the guest’s needs.

Check Equipment and Tools

When polishing is complete, inspect the surfaces for any remaining imperfections or areas that may require additional attention. Make any necessary touch ups or re-apply the polish as required.

All Surfaces

Inspect and test cleaning equipment and tools to ensure they are in good working order. This includes checking vacuum cleaners, mop heads, dusters and any other tools used in the cleaning process. Replace or repair any damaged or faulty equipment before starting the cleaning process.

Create an Organised Work Area

Set up a designated work area with easy access to cleaning supplies and tools. This will help streamline the cleaning process and minimise time spent searching for items. Maintain an organised and tidy work area throughout the cleaning process.

Adequately Preparing an AirBnB Property

By adequately preparing for cleaning tasks, short-term rental properties can ensure that the cleaning process is efficient, thorough and meets the expectations of both guests and hosts. Preparation sets the stage for a smooth cleaning experience and contributes to overall cleanliness and guest satisfaction during their stay.
