Host Tips for How to Keep Your Airbnb Clean & Safe

Being the host of an Airbnb property is a great way to earn supplemental income, especially if you have a room, space, or home that is not being used. While being an Airbnb host is an easy way to earn passive income, there are certain things hosts must do to keep the space clean and well-maintained. Consider the tips below for your Airbnb property to keep your space sparkling-clean and guest-ready.

Hire a Professional Cleaning Service

Many Airbnb hosts choose to hire a professional cleaning service to do a deep clean after every stay. While every part of the space is important to clean, it is crucial to pay special attention to cleaning bathrooms, floors, surfaces, linens, and towels. Hiring a cleaning service can help save time so guests can book more frequently. To offset costs, many Airbnb hosts add a cleaning fee. Communicate with the cleaners to make sure they know what is most important to you. Things like removing stray hairs, leaving mints on pillows, or paying special attention to cleaning bathroom and kitchen areas are common things to note.

Disinfect Even the Small Items

It goes without saying, but every aspect of an Airbnb property should be thoroughly cleaned after a guest’s stay. In addition to cleaning and disinfecting all of the surfaces, floors, and furniture items, it is also a good idea to disinfect small items with a Lumin UV Sterilizer Sanitizing Machine . Ozone-free, non-toxic, and free of harmful gases, the Lumin uses UVC to provide one of the safest disinfection methods available. The Lumin is great for disinfecting small, shared items like keys. It has been laboratory tested to kill over 99% of bacteria and fungus to help prevent the spread of infections.

No-Shoe Policy

Every Airbnb space is different; some have carpets while others have wood floors. If your Airbnb is heavily carpeted, it may be wise to implement a “shoes-off” policy within your Airbnb space. Wearing shoes inside can track in mud and dirt that can be difficult to get out of rugs and carpets. Consider including the “no-shoes” policy in your “Welcome Book” or intro description so guests know what to expect before entering the premises.

Make Disinfectants Available for Guests

While some guests will feel comfortable leaving the cleaning and disinfecting to the professional cleaners, others may want to tidy up their own areas more frequently. To cater to these guests, it’s a good idea to stock up on EPA approved disinfectant wipes and disinfecting sprays . These professional-grade cleaning products are great for keeping surfaces, tables, and chairs clean.
