Prepare a welcoming space between guests with a clear turnover checklist covering cleaning, linen, restocking, and final checks.
Plan the handover window
A smooth turnover starts before checkout. Confirm the departing guest’s checkout time, the next arrival, and access arrangements with your cleaning team. Include enough time for laundry, checks, and any unexpected issues.
Inspect before cleaning
Walk through the property and check for belongings left behind, visible damage, spills, and missing essentials. Record anything that needs attention so it can be addressed before the next guest arrives.
Reset the kitchen and bathrooms
Remove rubbish, check the fridge for leftover food, and clean the agreed kitchen surfaces and equipment. In bathrooms, clean fixtures and mirrors, replace towels, and check that toiletries and tissue supplies are ready.
Prepare beds and living areas
Replace used linen with fresh sets and inspect the finished beds. Dust accessible surfaces, vacuum floors and rugs, and return furniture and decorative items to their usual positions.
Restock with a consistent list
Keep an inventory of the essentials you provide, such as bin liners, soap, tissues, and kitchen supplies. A standard list helps the cleaner spot shortages and keeps the experience consistent between bookings.
Finish with a guest-ready check
Check the entry route, lighting, air-conditioning settings, and the presentation of each room. Take agreed completion photos and confirm that keys or access instructions are ready for the next guest.
