Fidelina’s Cleaning Service helps Asbury Park hosts plan Airbnb turnover cleaning between guest stays. This is a host planning checklist: laundry, linens, dishes, restocking and appliance interiors are not automatically included and must be selected and agreed with the office before booking.
Use the steps below to prepare your rental and decide which tasks you will handle. Share the property size, access details, checkout time and next arrival time when requesting cleaning.
Why a Standardized Checklist is Crucial
A checklist helps hosts track the work between guests and record anything needing attention. Confirm who will handle each task before the next stay.
Host planning checklist for a rental turnover
The following steps are for host planning, not a list of automatically included cleaning work. Hosts handle laundry, linen changes, dishes, restocking and appliance interiors unless those tasks are selected and agreed with the office.
1. Initial walkthrough and preparation
- Inspect for Damage:Do a quick walkthrough to check for broken items, stains, or missing property. Document any issues with photos immediately.
- Gather Trash:Empty all trash cans and take the garbage outside to the main bins.
- Strip the Beds and Gather Towels:Remove all used sheets, pillowcases, and towels.
- Start the Laundry:Get the first load of linens into the washing machine immediately.Pro Tip: Having two complete sets of linens allows you to simply swap them out, drastically reducing turnover time.
2. The Kitchen (The Heart of the Home)
- Clear the Fridge:Discard any leftover food. Wipe down the interior shelves and drawers.
- Load/Run the Dishwasher:If the guests left dirty dishes, start the dishwasher now.
- Clean Appliances:Wipe down the exterior of the fridge, oven, dishwasher, and microwave. Clean the inside of the microwave!
- Sanitize Countertops and Sink:Use a high-quality disinfectant on all counters. Scrub the sink and polish the faucet.
- Restock Essentials:Ensure there is a fresh roll of paper towels, a new sponge, dish soap, and dishwasher pods.
3. The Bathrooms (The Ultimate Test of Cleanliness)
- Clean the Toilet:Scrub the bowl, wipe down the seat, lid, base, and the floor directly behind the toilet.
- Scrub the Shower/Tub:Remove all soap scum and hair. Pay special attention to the drain and glass doors.
- Sanitize the Vanity:Wipe down the sink, counters, and polish the mirror until it is streak-free.
- Restock Amenities:Replenish toilet paper, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.
- Hang Fresh Towels:Neatly fold and arrange the clean bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths.
4. The Bedrooms (Creating a Restful Retreat)
- Make the Beds:Use crisp, clean linens. Smooth out wrinkles and arrange the pillows neatly.
- Dust All Surfaces:Wipe down nightstands, dressers, lamps, and ceiling fans.
- Check the Closets/Drawers:Ensure no personal items were left behind.
- Clean Mirrors and Windows:Wipe away any smudges or fingerprints.
5. The Living Areas (First Impressions Matter)
- Tidy Up:Straighten cushions, fold throw blankets, and organize coffee table books or magazines.
- Sanitize High-Touch Areas:Wipe down the TV remote, light switches, and doorknobs.
- Dust:Dust the TV screen, entertainment center, shelves, and side tables.
6. The Floors (The Final Step)
- Vacuum Everywhere:Vacuum all carpets, rugs, and hard floors. Pay special attention to corners and under furniture.
- Mop Hard Surfaces:Mop the kitchen, bathrooms, and any hardwood or tile floors.For local area houses, a thorough mopping is essential to remove sticky salt air residue and fine sand.
