I really don't understand why you're belaboring this so. Or why you seemingly haven't bothered to read my and Debra's posts where we said that washing the walls and the ceilings is no longer in the cleaning manual. You don't appear to have bothered to read the updated version.
A guest is going to claim you didn't change your gloves between cleaning each room a day before they arrived? How on earth would they be able to claim such a thing?
Airbnb has always given out refunds to guests anyway for bogus complaints, I don't know why you think this is something totally new to suddenly be afraid of.
You're right- I have a private room/bath listing home-share, and guests have kitchen access. But I haven't hosted since March, because I don't consider it safe to share common space with guests at this time.
It takes me about an hour a a half to clean the guest room/bath. And yes, I have tile floors and the bed has felt pads on the bottom of the legs, so I slide the bed to the other side of the room, vacuum and wash the floor, the slide it back and wash the other half.
And I've always wiped down light switches, doorknobs, hangars, etc, with bleach wipes as well as cleaned the toilet brush with bleach as well as the holder. As well as vacuuming down everything from the ceiling to the floor. So there would never be cobwebs anywhere, unless they were spun after the guest moved in.
That's just my own personal style when it comes to cleaning- I'm not some OCD fastidious person, my own room can get to be quite a mess, as can the rest of the house if I don't have guests in residence, but when I do clean, I'm really thorough and reasonably fast. I can understand that if others aren't used to cleaning like this, the cleaning guidelines would seem onerous and undoable.
And FYI, many hosts removed extraneous items like lots of throw pillows, rugs, etc, way back at the start of the pandemic so that so much stuff didn't have to be washed and sterilized.
