Airbnb needs to remove steps from its cleaning protocol, other than recommending the thorough cleaning we have always done.
I and others have posted about this before, but this recent CDC has issued even more strongly worded verbiage on the subject.
The article below is entitled “Has the Era of Overzealous Cleaning Finally Come to an End?”

Note: Protection from airborne particles, like letting the home air out, using masks, etc. are a different issue, and these precautions are still recommended at this time, at least in the US.
@Stephanie I’m sure Airbnb is following the news on current guidance, but please reiterate to them that their cleaning protocols are outdated. Hosts have been leaving Airbnb because of being forced to comply with these outdated policies.
