As the world continues to evolve, one thing remains constant in Airbnb hosting: cleanliness and guest safety matter more than ever.

Whether you’re a long-time host or just getting started, understanding proper cleaning protocols is essential, not just for peace of mind, but for maintaining strong reviews and guest trust.

At Turnovur, we’ve always prioritized high cleaning standards. During COVID-19, we strengthened those systems even further, and many of those practices remain part of how we operate today.

Our Commitment to Safe & Thorough Cleaning

We understand that guests expect more than just a clean space, they expect a safe one.

That’s why our cleaning protocols are aligned with Airbnb’s enhanced cleaning guidelines, while also incorporating our own structured, detail-driven approach.

Our Airbnb Cleaning Protocols

Here’s how we maintain high standards across every turnover:

Protective Gear for Every Cleaning

All Turnovur cleaners are required to wear:

• Gloves

• Masks (when appropriate or requested)

This helps maintain a hygienic environment while protecting both guests and staff.

High-Touch Surface Disinfection

We focus heavily on sanitizing frequently used areas, including:

• Door handles

• Light switches

• Remotes and electronics

• Countertops and fixtures

These are the areas guests interact with most, and where attention to detail matters most.

Use of Safe & Effective Cleaning Supplies

Our team uses:

• Professional-grade cleaning products

• Disposable supplies when appropriate

• Methods designed to reduce cross-contamination

We focus on effective sanitization while maintaining the integrity of your property.

Proper Ventilation of Every Unit

Airflow is a key part of maintaining a fresh, clean space.

During each cleaning, we:

• Open windows when possible

• Allow fresh air circulation

• Ensure the unit feels clean and refreshed for incoming guests

Thoughtful Approach to Cleaning Products

Rather than relying solely on harsh chemicals like bleach, we use a balanced approach that prioritizes:

• Surface safety

• Air quality

• Long-term property care

Optional Guest Safety Add-Ons

Want to go a step further for your guests?

We can stage additional items such as:

• Disposable gloves

• Face masks

To include these, we simply ask that hosts provide the materials, and we’ll ensure they’re placed neatly for guest use.

Why Cleaning Standards Matter More Than Ever

Cleanliness has always been important, but today, it directly impacts:

• Guest comfort and confidence

• Your reviews and ratings

• Repeat bookings and long-term success

Hosts who prioritize strong cleaning systems often see better results across the board.
