Even if you don’t live in the same city as your Philadelphia AirBNB properties, you can get a top quality AirBNB cleaning with a detailed checklist. Even better, your checklist can help you confirm that your cleaning supplies are complete, and the tools needed are readily available.
Benefits of Providing Housekeepers with an Airbnb Cleaning Checklist
Giving your maids from MaidThis a checklist means that your vacation rental property will be
- checked for items left behind by clients
- cleaned with products you prefer
- ready for your new guests on time
You can also plan to get a notification of any items left behind or damage done to the property.
Build Your Vacation Rental Cleaning Checklist
Building your checklist is fairly simple. You need to be sure that the property is free of cobwebs, dust, dirt and odor. You’ll need to provide your MaidThis professionals the tools and cleaning products to take care of these concerns to your satisfaction. Getting your vacation rental deep cleaned from top to bottom can be done before each guest or done on a monthly basis if you have guests booked each weekend.
Professional Cleaners Checklist and Steps
You may already have a steady schedule with MaidThis cleaners for your home. One of the considerable differences between a regular home cleaning and booking a cleaning service for AirBNB is that there should be no personal effects to tidy; any remaining personal effects need to be sent back to the client. You may also prefer cleaners in your home to use products that leave behind a favorite fragrance. In your vacation rental, the only odor that should be left is clean.

Off-Season AirBNB Cleaning Options
Monthly Cleaning
Your cleaning service for AirBNB properties may be able to be reduced during the off-season. It’s also a good time to take the time to do some deep cleaning, such as emptying and wiping down kitchen cabinets.
Off-Season Cleaning Checklist Steps
Monthly Clean
During the off-season, you may only have guests once a month. Now is the time to dig into some monthly cleaning steps to keep the place fresh and make sure that the decor is well-presented. During a monthly cleaning, you might choose to focus on dust. Make sure that the tops of window treatments are vacuumed, and window sills are free of dust. Go through the refrigerator and make sure the shelves are spotless.
Every 3–6 Months
Every 3 to 6 months, focus on odor. Make sure closets are fresh and aired. If cushions show spots or look crumpled, make sure everything is thoroughly vacuumed and spot-cleaned. Empty out any linen cabinets and wipe down the shelves, refolding towels for a tidy effect.
Once a Year Cleaning
This is the time to check and clean the grout in the bathroom and kitchen. You may want to bring in a steam cleaning team to tackle the carpets and the larger throw rugs. Your MaidThis team can come in when the carpets are dry and check for cobwebs, wiping down all surfaces that need sanitizing and leaving the place fresh and clean for the next guests.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cleaning is required for AirBNB?
Keeping your AirBNB clean is critical to effective marketing! Make sure that your vacation rental is free of cobwebs and that there’s no dust on light fixtures or ceiling fans. While it’s obvious that the home is not currently lived in, you need to be sure that it is quite livable.
How can I make my own checklist for cleaning?
Carefully review what makes any property feel grubby in your memory. If you have ever moved into a new apartment, you know that a detailed apartment turnover checklist includes things like leaving a spotless refrigerator, a thoroughly scrubbed stove top and a clean oven. Areas that collect dirt, such as spots under sinks where trash cans linger, need to be thoroughly reviewed.
What is included in an Airbnb cleaning?
Your AirBNB chore list can include steps such as laundry and changing out linens. During a deep clean of your property, you might request that the kitchen cabinets be completely emptied, wiped out, wiped down, and reloaded. You may want the oven checked occasionally and cleaned only during a deep cleaning. The same attention should be paid to the refrigerator.
