Airbnb Cleaning: How to Delight Guests


Limpeza em Airbnb: como encantar hóspedes]

Cleanliness isn’t a nice-to-have in short-term rentals—it’s the engine behind guest satisfaction, repeat bookings, and 5-star reviews. Here’s how to deliver a hotel-level clean that delights every time.

DESTAQUE:

No Airbnb, a primeira impressão define a avaliação. Camas bem feitas, banheiro perfumado, cozinha limpa e atenção a pequenos detalhes encantam os hóspedes. Toalhas e lençóis impecáveis são obrigatórios. Quer avaliações 5 estrelas? Conte com a Sunshine para garantir uma hospedagem memorável.

Why Cleanliness Defines Your Rating

From the moment guests open the door, they register scent, light, and order. A fresh, tidy space signals safety and care—two feelings that drive positive reviews. Cleanliness consistently ranks as a top factor for guest satisfaction on Airbnb, which means a flawless turnover is the fastest route to more bookings and better revenue.

The Perfect Bed: Comfort that Photographs Well

Neatly made beds with crisp sheets and plumped pillows instantly elevate your listing. Stick to white or light-gray linens for a hotel-clean look that also shines in photos. Do a quick “lint and hair” sweep before you leave and add a subtle touch—like a folded towel or welcome chocolate—to create a boutique feel.

  • Use spotless, high-quality linens and pillow protectors.
  • Smooth wrinkles; check under pillows and along headboards.
  • Keep a labeled bin for stained items to avoid reusing them.

Kitchens that Shine (and Sell Your Listing)

Guests love cooking on vacation, so a hygienic, well-stocked kitchen is a value booster. Degrease stovetops, sanitize counters, polish sinks, and clean inside the microwave and fridge. Replace the sponge, stock dish soap, and add a simple note—“Welcome—your kitchen is guest-ready!”

  • Sanitize high-touch points: handles, switches, remotes.
  • Empty and deodorize trash cans; line with fresh bags.
  • Restock essentials: paper towels, dishwasher tabs, coffee filters.

Bathrooms: Details Guests Never Forget

Bathrooms make or break reviews. Go beyond the surface: polish mirrors, scrub grout, and ensure towels are fluffy and fresh-smelling. Present toiletries neatly—matching dispensers for shampoo and conditioner create a polished, hotel-level finish.

  • Disinfect taps, shower glass, and toilet base & hinges.
  • Roll spare toilet paper; replace hand soap before it’s low.
  • Add a light, pleasant scent via diffuser or spray.

Small Touches, Big Impressions

It’s the finishing touches that turn “clean” into “memorable”: a handwritten welcome card, a simple inspection checklist, dust-free baseboards, and neatly coiled cables. These cues tell guests you care—and guests reward care with glowing feedback.
