About

An Airbnb cleaning SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) is a detailed, step-by-step guide that outlines exactly how a short-term rental property should be cleaned, sanitized, and staged between guest stays. Unlike standard residential cleaning, a turnover SOP focuses heavily on 'staging'—the art of making a home look unlived-in and professionally prepared for new arrivals. It serves as a quality control document that ensures no details, like cleaning the inside of the microwave or restocking coffee pods, are missed. Implementing a structured cleaning SOP is essential for hosts who want to scale their business, maintain high ratings, and minimize the time spent managing cleaning crews while ensuring a consistent guest experience every single time.

Can I include photos in the SOP?
