Since Covid, many people have been fanatic about cleaning. When it comes to your home or an Airbnb space there are many home cleaning products on the market to help you with this task.

If you are like me you have your go-to home cleaning products that you buy over and over.

I am definitely a creature of habit in this department.

Guest will NOT return if your space is NOT clean. This is an area you MUST master to get repeat guests.

It will take some scrubbing but the ROI will be worth it!

Bathroom Cleaning

A clean bathroom is a must-have so don’t skimp here. Guests will definitely appreciate the extra effort.

Dusting

Since dust accumulates over time it’s a great idea to wipe down moldings, fans, appliances, and tables regularly. This will make it much easier to maintain and less work in the long run.

This list covers the best Airbnb home cleaning products you will need to keep your space looking fresh and clean.

Extra Airbnb Cleaning Tips

Even if you have hardwood/tile floors, you also need a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping the floors just moves all the dust and hairs around the room.
When cleaning the toilet you MUST clean the entire bowl (top to bottom).
In addition, you need a minimum of 2 sets of sheets per bed as well as 2 duvets (if that’s what you use).
Make sure you also have a lint roller. Clean sheets can have hairs clinging to them and you will need to remove them.
3 sets of towels at a minimum are required. You will always need extra towels as these get damaged easily.
When it comes to supplies, you are going to use a lot of toilet paper. Stock up! The same goes for hand soap, shampoo/conditioner (if you provide that as well), and garbage bags. You do not want to run out of garbage bags.

If you hire a cleaner, I suggest you clean your own space now and then.

Doing so will give you a sense of the quirks to get the space ready. It will also be good to check in on the quality of your sheets, towels, supplies, etc.

The best way to keep the standards high is to clean your own Airbnb on occasion.

Whether you are cleaning your home or Airbnb space I hope this list helps you get the job done. There is no better feeling than walking into a clean home.

Have an amazing day full of Unicorns & Rainbows!
