At Gabby Cleaning Services, we specialize in helping vacation rental hosts maintain impeccable properties that earn 5-star reviews. A clean rental isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s a critical factor in guest satisfaction, repeat bookings, and your property’s reputation.
1. The Vacation Rental Cleaning Checklist
Follow this industry-approved checklist between guest stays:
✔ Sanitize high-touch surfaces – Doorknobs, remotes, light switches, and faucets.
✔ Refresh linens & towels – Always provide freshly laundered sets with spares.
✔ Inspect for hidden messes – Under beds, inside drawers, and behind furniture.
✔ Restock essentials – Toilet paper, soap, coffee, and trash bags.
✔ Check appliances – Ensure the microwave, coffee maker, and fridge are crumb-free.
Pro Tip: Use a digital checklist app to streamline turnovers and avoid missed steps.
2. Speed vs. Perfection: Fast Turnover Strategies
Same-day checkouts? Use these time-saving hacks:
- Team cleaning – Assign tasks (one person handles bathrooms, another does floors).
- Portable cleaning caddies – Keep supplies organized and mobile.
- Lint rollers – Quick fix for pet hair on furniture.
- Odor eliminators – Use baking soda or an ozone machine for stubborn smells.
3. Deep Cleaning Between Seasons
Even with regular cleanings, schedule monthly deep cleans to:
- Shampoo carpets & rugs.
- Descale showerheads and faucets.
- Dust baseboards, vents, and ceiling fans.
- Wash windows inside and out.
