Finding appropriate cleaning services for airbnb

[Susan4595]

Good morning- I have been a super host for a few years now and have been lucky enough to know yound adults that were willing to do airbnb cleaning services at various times.  I am in a situation now that I have run out of resources and would love any suggestions of locating good resources that can do airbnb turns mid-day and mid-week.  How have you listed for this or found services to accommodate the unpredictable schedule?  I am in Portland, Oregon.

Thank you-

Susan Reed

@Susan4595   My neighbor used the NextDoor App to search for a local person interested in cleaning.  If you have this set up in your neighborhood, it may be useful in getting some resources.  Just be sure to remain slightly vague about the exact location of your listing.

I put an ad in the local paper @Susan4595 and interviewed 10 people, choosing one with inn and hotel experience.  I worded it something like "Join our Airbnb team" - partly to signal the schedule wouldn't be the classic Maine Saturday-Saturday week, and partly to signal they would be working with others - i.e., me 🙂, as  I've often found cleaners think they work for themselves and don't take well to schedules and requests.  The person I found has been an absolute rock and the time it took to take the ad out, answer responses, and schedule and conduct the interviews was totally worth it in the end.
