As a short-term rental host in Montreal, your cleaning directly impacts guest reviews, ratings, and future bookings. A consistent turnover process between guests is one of the most important systems you can build.
Here's what a thorough Airbnb turnover includes:
Linens and towels: Strip all beds and replace with fresh, clean linens. Fold towels neatly and stage them in bathrooms. Check for stains or damage on pillows and mattress protectors — replace as needed.
Bathrooms: Full deep clean of toilet, shower/tub, sink, and mirror. Replace toiletries (soap, shampoo, toilet paper). Wipe down all surfaces and fixtures. Clean floors.
Kitchen: Wash and put away all dishes. Wipe counters, stovetop, and sink. Clean microwave inside and out. Check fridge for leftover food. Restock coffee, tea, and any provided snacks. Take out garbage and replace bags.
Living areas and bedrooms: Vacuum and mop all floors. Dust surfaces, shelves, and electronics. Rearrange furniture if moved. Check under beds and couches for forgotten items. Straighten all decor.
Final walkthrough: Test all lights. Check that the thermostat is set correctly. Ensure Wi-Fi is working. Lock and secure all entry points. Take photos for your records.
Consistency is what separates a 4.5 listing from a 4.9 listing. When every guest walks into a spotless, well-staged space, your reviews reflect that.
