Every Airbnb host and super hosts, always have different answers to this question. And there is a reason why that is so. Although it’s well known that cleaning companies do a better job than regular individuals, that is arguably true.

Some people are just very good when it comes to what belongs to them. What do I mean by that, some people worship whatever belongs to them and give little to no sentiment, to whatever else that does not belong to them. So when it comes to cleaning, people like that are extremely good if the house being cleaned belongs to them.

This doesn’t mean that cleaning companies are not all they say they are. But, watch out for non professionalism when dealing with cleaning companies. The company name branding doesn’t make them good at what they do, that’s the role of what the eyes see after the actual job has been done.

As a super host, I have dealt with a lot of cleaning companies, and I will tell you, some of them are not exactly good, I will list out some things to watch out for when choosing a cleaning company.

Reputation: Look for a company with a good reputation. Check online reviews and ask for referrals from friends or family.

Experience: Choose a company with experience in the type of cleaning you need, whether it’s commercial or residential cleaning.

Services offered: Make sure the company offers the specific cleaning services you need, such as carpet cleaning, window cleaning, or deep cleaning.

Quality of service: The company should provide high-quality cleaning services with attention to detail.

Pricing: Ensure that the pricing is reasonable and transparent. Beware of companies that offer extremely low prices as they may provide low-quality service.

Insurance: Check if the company has insurance to protect you in case of accidents or damages.

Availability: Make sure the company is available when you need them and can work around your schedule.

Professionalism: Look for a company with professional cleaners who are punctual, respectful,and trustworthy.

Green cleaning practices: If you’re concerned about the environment, choose a company that uses eco-friendly cleaning products.

Overall, it’s important to do your research and choose a cleaning company that meets your specific needs and provides high-quality service at a fair price.

Within my eleven years as an Airbnb super host, I was able to scan through hundreds of cleaning companies and here are a few that passed my qualification test.

Loob: A very beautiful app based cleaning company, the best I have ever used, highly recommended. This company does not only have well trained professional employees, but will also alert you if your Airbnb needs maintenance . And most of the time they do the maintenance job for you before or after reaching out to you about it and never charge you for it.

Another very interesting thing about this company is, they train all their employees on both cleaning and maintenance, very unlike other cleaning companies that just hire their employees and send them out into the field with zero training. And their pricing is super affordable.

If there is a cleaning company that’s perfect for airbnbs it’s this company. Super professional and very helpful employees that will help you welcome your new guest if they walk in on them cleaning and even give the new guest a quick tour of the house.

Thumbtack: This is another good cleaning company I have used, great cleaners, easy task booking. Thumbtack has been around for a while, a little pricey but good at what they do. Most of their cleaners are independent so their prices vary.

Thumbtack is mostly popular in the western countries like the USA. If you are looking to get into

Airbnb hosting, these two companies are the best to look up to in terms of cleaning.

Now why should you use a cleaning company for your Airbnb ?

Using a cleaning company for your Airbnb can be beneficial for several reasons:

Time-saving: As an Airbnb host, you may have a busy schedule, and cleaning the property may not be something you have time for. A cleaning company can take care of the cleaning, so you can focus on other important aspects of your hosting duties.

Consistency: A professional cleaning company will have a set cleaning routine, which means your property will be consistently cleaned to a high standard every time. This can lead to positive reviews from guests, which can ultimately lead to more bookings.
