Free Airbnb Cleaning Checklist Template — PDF, Word, Excel & Google Sheets
This free Airbnb cleaning checklist is a complete, editable template built for hosts, co-hosts and professional cleaning crews who need a reliable turnover routine between guests.

Why Hosts Use an Airbnb Cleaning Checklist
Every short-term rental turnover has the same problem: it happens fast, often under time pressure, and one missed task — a hair in the shower, an empty toilet-paper roll — is the difference between a 5-star review and a complaint. A written Airbnb host cleaning checklist turns that pressure into a repeatable process. Whether you clean the property yourself or hand it to a cleaning service, a shared checklist means every turnover meets the same standard, every time.
What’s Included in This Printable Airbnb Cleaning Checklist
- Guest arrival prep — lockbox/smart-lock reset, damage check against inventory, thermostat and lighting
- Kitchen — dishes, countertops, fridge, restocking coffee, salt, pepper and dish soap
- Bedrooms — fresh linens, mattress and pillow checks, closet and drawer sweep
- Bathrooms — deep disinfecting, towel restock, toiletries restock
- Guest staging — cushion arrangement, welcome basket, house manual placement
- Final walkthrough — light bulbs, locks, smart-lock app status, and setting the listing to “ready”
Each task comes with a built-in time estimate, a priority flag for anything that needs follow-up, and a notes field — so this doubles as an Airbnb cleaning checklist for guests-facing quality standard and an internal host cleaning checklist your cleaning team can sign off on.

Airbnb Cleaning Checklist for Guests vs. for Hosts
A guest-facing checklist is usually a short, friendly one-pager: how to start the dishwasher, where to leave the keys, trash-day instructions. A host cleaning checklist is the operational version — the detailed, room-by-room list your cleaner actually works from. This template is built as the host/cleaner version, but the “Restock Needs” and “Guest Staging” sections can easily be trimmed down into a short printable card for guests if you want both.
