518. Hosting Hotline: When to Outsource Your Cleaner (and How to Trust It’s Done Right)
Description
How long should you clean your own property before handing it off to a professional cleaner? In this Hosting Hotline episode, Sarah and Annette tackle one of the biggest questions for new hosts: when to outsource cleaning—and how to make sure your standards don’t slip once you do.
From systemizing your process to defining what a “done” bed actually looks like, the duo walks through the mindset shift every host needs to make: your guests should never be the ones to discover a bad clean. Learn how to document your cleaning routine, train your team with clarity, and implement “trust but verify” systems that keep your short-term rental running like a pro.
They also peek into the future of cleaning (yes, robot cleaners are coming!) and share tips for maintaining quality control, even from afar.
