Airbnb & Rental Cleaning — Salt and Slate Cleaning Company

Residential Services — Airbnb & Rental Cleaning

Turnover speed without cutting corners

Same-day turnover cleaning synchronized with your booking calendar. Superhost-standard checklists, linen service, and restocking.

Book a Cleaning

Hosting on Airbnb, VRBO, or any short-term rental platform means your cleaning window is often measured in hours, not days. One guest checks out at 11 AM and the next checks in at 4 PM. In that window, the entire property needs to be stripped, sanitized, restocked, and staged. A single missed detail becomes a one-star review that costs you bookings for months.

Salt & Slate Airbnb and rental cleaning is built for speed and consistency. We synchronize with your booking calendar so our team arrives within an hour of checkout. We follow Superhost-standard checklists that cover every detail guests notice and photograph: perfectly made beds, spotless bathrooms, streak-free mirrors, a kitchen that looks unused, and a welcome setup that signals care. Linen service, restocking of consumables, and inventory checks are included in every turnover.

Consistency matters more than any single cleaning. Guests compare your property to hotels, and hotels deliver identical experiences every time. We do the same. Your cleaning checklist stays constant across every turnover, regardless of which team member handles it. That consistency shows up in your reviews, your occupancy rate, and your nightly price.

Is This Right for You?

Who it’s for

Short-term rental hosts on Airbnb, VRBO, Furnished Finder, and similar platforms. Particularly valuable for hosts managing multiple properties, hosts who live far from their rental, and anyone pursuing or maintaining Superhost status.

→ Your checkout-to-check-in window is five hours or less
→ You've had a review mention cleanliness and can't afford another
→ Managing linen logistics between guests is taking up time you don't have
→ You own more than one short-term rental and need a consistent standard across all of them
→ Guest damage isn't getting documented before the next person checks in

The Process

How it works

Connect your calendar

Share your booking calendar so we know checkout and check-in times automatically. We schedule turnovers without you lifting a finger.

Customize your checklist

We start with our Superhost-standard checklist and add your property-specific items: welcome baskets, specific linen arrangements, thermostat settings, and lockbox codes.

Same-day turnover

Our team arrives within an hour of guest checkout, executes the full checklist, and confirms completion before the next guest arrives.

Damage alerts

If we find damage beyond normal wear, we photograph it and notify you immediately so you can file a claim before the guest dispute window closes.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the calendar sync work?

You share your booking calendar — direct link from Airbnb, VRBO, or a channel manager — and we pull checkout and check-in times automatically. Our team targets arrival within one hour of guest checkout. You don't need to send a message before every turnover; it's handled.

What happens if guests cause damage?

We document it. If we find damage beyond normal wear during a turnover, we photograph it immediately before anything is moved or cleaned, and we notify you before we leave the property. That gives you a timestamped record to use when filing a claim through the platform's host protection program.

Do you handle linen laundry on-site or take it off-site?

Both options are available depending on your property setup. If you have an in-unit washer/dryer, we wash and dry on-site during the turnover so linens are back on the beds by check-in. For properties without in-unit laundry, we work with a linen service — fresh linens come in, used linens go out, and your turnover isn't delayed waiting for a wash cycle.

What's included that most cleaning services skip?

Restocking — toilet paper, soap, paper towels, coffee supplies — is part of every turnover. We also check that welcome materials are in place, remotes are where guests expect them, and the thermostat is at your preferred arrival setting. Those details show up in reviews even when guests can't articulate why the place felt well-managed.
