Frequently Asked Questions
Should my cleaning fee cover all turnover costs?
Most hosts price the cleaning fee to fully cover, or slightly exceed, their actual turnover cost so it isn't subsidized by the nightly rate.
What other costs should I consider besides cleaning?
Consider restocking consumables like coffee, toiletries, and paper products, plus wear-and-tear on linens and towels that need periodic replacement.
How can I lower my turnover costs?
Batching laundry across multiple properties, buying supplies in bulk, and standardizing a cleaning checklist to reduce time are common ways hosts cut turnover costs.
