When it comes to running a successful Airbnb, location, pricing, and great communication are key—but nothing influences guest satisfaction quite like cleanliness. As one of the most commented-on elements in guest reviews, the standard of your cleaning can be the difference between a five-star review and a booking that never happens.
At Kimberlie & Co Cleaning, we understand the unique demands of Airbnb properties, and we know that not just any cleaner will do. Here’s why choosing the right cleaner for your Airbnb matters—and what you should look for in a cleaning team.
First Impressions Count
Your Airbnb might be beautifully styled, but if there’s a fingerprint on the mirror or a leftover crumb on the counter, that’s what your guest will notice first. First impressions last, and for many travellers, cleanliness is the first thing they check when they walk in.
A professional Airbnb cleaner knows to pay attention to the small details—fluffed pillows, crisp sheets, neatly folded towels, sparkling bathrooms, and a kitchen that looks untouched. At Kimberlie & Co, we train our team to clean with a guest’s perspective in mind, ensuring your space is presented perfectly every time.
Timing is Everything
Unlike regular residential cleaning, Airbnb cleaning often comes with tight turnover windows. You may have just a few hours between one guest leaving and another arriving. Having a cleaner who understands the importance of reliability and punctuality is essential.
Our team prides itself on punctuality and efficiency. We manage our cleaning schedules with precision so that your property is guest-ready, without stress. We also offer flexibility for last-minute bookings or extended stays—because we know Airbnb doesn’t always run on a fixed schedule.
Consistency Builds Your Reputation
You can wow a guest once, but consistency is what builds a glowing review history and return bookings. A great cleaner will treat each clean with the same care and detail, no matter how many times they’ve cleaned the same space.
At Kimberlie & Co, we have systems and checklists in place to ensure every clean meets our strict quality standards. We don’t just clean—we reset the space to guest-ready status, paying attention to staging, presentation, and even scent.
Sanitisation = Peace of Mind
In today’s world, guests are more conscious than ever about hygiene and safety. A standard clean isn’t enough—you need professional-grade sanitisation to ensure your Airbnb is truly safe and hygienic.
Our cleaners are trained in proper sanitisation protocols using high-quality, eco-friendly products. We make sure high-touch surfaces like door handles, remote controls, light switches, and bathroom fittings are thoroughly disinfected—providing your guests with peace of mind from the moment they enter.
A Cleaning Team That Understands Airbnb
Not all cleaning services understand the difference between a standard house clean and an Airbnb turnover. Things like restocking supplies, reporting damages, or noticing missing items can go unnoticed with an inexperienced cleaner.
At Kimberlie & Co, we specialise in short-term rental cleaning. Our team will notify you of any issues, replenish items as requested, and even take photos if needed for your records. We become your eyes and ears between guests, helping you maintain your Airbnb to the highest standard.
The Bottom Line
Your Airbnb is a business—and like any business, success depends on professionalism, consistency, and reputation. The right cleaner doesn’t just clean—they help protect your reviews, your income, and your brand.
At Kimberlie & Co Cleaning, we’re proud to partner with Airbnb hosts across the region, providing reliable, detail-focused service that guests rave about. Whether you manage one listing or several, we’re here to help you deliver a five-star experience—every time.
