Running an Airbnb has a lot of moving parts, but nothing stresses me out more than cleaning. If a guest walks into a property that isn’t spotless, or if they don’t feel safe, nothing else matters.

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes as I walkthrough one of my rentals and check the work of my cleaning crew. I’ll be honest with you — cleaning has been the toughest part of hosting for me.

Over the years, I’ve worked with multiple crews. Some are expensive and amazing, some are budget-friendly but miss details, and others are still learning. I’ve seen it all, from beds made perfectly… to fingernail clippings left on the couch (yep, that really happened 🤦‍♀️).

Here’s what I share in this episode:

• Why cleanliness and safety are the two most important things for guests
• The pros and cons of different types of cleaning crews (and why I use more than one)
• How I train cleaners with checklists, walkthroughs, and even photos
• The moment I realized my Airbnb could actually make money while I was on vacation
