An Airbnb turnover resets your unit between guests: fresh linens, bathroom and kitchen cleaned, floors done, trash out and essentials restocked. Book it for checkout day, keep two sets of linens per bed, and use a lockbox. Good Maid turnovers start at $99 and can be booked any day from 7am to 7pm.
In short-term rentals, cleanliness is one of the things guests notice and review most. A reliable turnover routine protects your rating and saves you from scrambling between checkout and check-in. Here's how to set one up in Vancouver.
What an Airbnb turnover clean includes
- Beds stripped and remade with clean linens
- Fresh towels set out
- Bathroom cleaned — toilet, sink, shower or tub, mirror
- Kitchen refreshed — counters, sink, stovetop and appliance fronts
- Essentials restocked from your supply — toilet paper, soap, coffee
- Floors vacuumed and mopped
- Trash and recycling out
- The space reset to your setup — pillows, towels, welcome items
Our Airbnb cleaning covers all of the above. Leave a checklist or photos of how you like the unit set up, and your cleaner will follow it.
Fitting the clean between guests
Most hosts set checkout in the late morning and check-in in the afternoon, which leaves a window of a few hours. To make that window work:
- Book the clean for checkout day, starting right after checkout time.
- Use a keypad or lockbox so entry never depends on anyone being there.
- Keep at least two full sets of linens and towels per bed — one on the bed, one clean and ready — so laundry never holds up a turnover.
- Store supplies in one place, such as a locked owner's closet, so restocking is quick.
We're open 7am to 7pm every day, including weekends, which covers typical turnover windows.
Host restock checklist
- Toilet paper and paper towels
- Hand soap, dish soap and dishwasher tabs
- Shampoo, conditioner and body wash
- Coffee, tea, sugar
- Garbage and recycling bags
- Spare light bulbs and batteries
- A spare set of linens and towels for every bed

Every few months, book a deep clean between guests to catch the inside of the oven, fridge and cabinets and the baseboards, which a quick turnover doesn't cover.
Turnover clean vs. deep clean
A turnover is a fast reset built around the guest window: linens, bathrooms, kitchen surfaces, floors and restocking. It doesn't go inside the oven, fridge or cabinets, or along every baseboard — there usually isn't time between guests. That's what a periodic deep clean is for.
A simple rhythm that works for many hosts: a turnover after every stay, and a deep clean every two to three months, booked on a day with no guests. If you host longer stays of a week or more, consider a deep clean between those guests instead of a standard turnover.
A note on Vancouver's short-term rental rules
Short-term rentals in Vancouver are regulated by both the City and the Province. In general, hosts need a City of Vancouver short-term rental business licence and a provincial registration number, both shown on their listing, and rentals are generally limited to the host's principal residence. Rules change, so check the City of Vancouver and the BC government's short-term rental pages for the latest before you list. Hosts in other cities, like Burnaby or North Vancouver, should check their own city's rules too.
Five tips for better turnover reviews
- Bathrooms and kitchens get photographed. Hair in the shower or a dirty stovetop shows up in reviews.
- Smell matters. Air the unit out during the clean.
- Check the small things: under the beds, inside the microwave, the coffee maker.
- Keep a damage log. Ask your cleaner to tell you about anything broken or missing so you can deal with it before the next guest.
- Book recurring turnovers on predictable days if your calendar allows — consistency makes everything easier.
