If you’re an Airbnb host or short-term rental owner, you already know that cleanliness can make or break your reviews. Guests may forgive small inconveniences, but they rarely forgive a dirty space.
At DoubleTime Cleaning, we specialize in Airbnb and short-term rental cleaning designed specifically to meet guest expectations and platform standards.
Why Airbnb Cleaning Is Different from Regular Cleaning
Short-term rentals require a higher level of detail and consistency. Every guest expects a hotel-level experience — without exception.
Airbnb cleaning includes:
Hotel-style bathroom sanitation
Crisp bed presentation and linen changes
Restocking essentials
Inspecting for missed details
Resetting the space for the next guest
This is not a job for rushed or untrained cleaners.
The Impact of Cleanliness on Your Rankings
Airbnb’s algorithm favors listings with:
Consistently high cleanliness ratings
Fewer guest complaints

A professionally cleaned property helps:
Increase booking frequency
