Free cleaning mid stay?

[Karla811]

Hello everyone,

My question is , for a week long booking do you include a light cleaning at not charge? Like fresh sheets and towels , taking out trash or offer a paid cleaning fee?

Also, I don't let my guest use the laundry machines but I would like to offer the laundry service for long stays. How do you do it?

Thanks in advance

Hi Karla,

For a week-long booking, many hosts offer a light cleaning at no charge, which typically includes fresh sheets and towels, trash removal, and a quick wipe-down of high-use areas. Some prefer to offer it only upon request, while others schedule it mid-stay to maintain the space without disrupting the guest’s experience. If you want to keep it optional, you could mention it in your listing and provide guests with the choice.

For laundry, since you don’t allow guests to use the machines, you can offer a paid laundry service. Some hosts charge a per-load fee and handle it themselves or through their cleaner, while others partner with a local laundromat or dry cleaning service for pickup and drop-off. Setting clear expectations about turnaround time and pricing can help ensure a smooth experience. If you’d like, you can also add this as an extra service in your listing description or house manual.

I hope this helps.

All the best,

Upfish Management
