Cleaning checklist for Airbnb cleaners
A good Airbnb turnover checklist should tell the cleaner more than what needs cleaning. Property-specific details, photos and recurring tasks help different cleaners deliver the same result without relying on memory or long message threads.
A paper checklist gets lost and a PDF is easy to ignore. With DoTidyDone, the same Airbnb cleaning checklist lives on the cleaner's phone. They work through one task at a time, and you can see when the turnover is complete.
