Im not a host but I clean. Right now I have 2 that I clean and I'd like to get more. Any tips on getting more airbnb cleaning jobs?

Hi @Tara1183

 

Have you tried using your local networks to identify hosts who might need a hand?

 

I wanted to also share this insightful comment by host Lorna on this thread in case it helps with expanding your cleaning business. Please let us know if you've already tried it out!

 

Have a lovely day,

Absolutely! Since you already have 2 Airbnb properties you clean, you’re in a great position to grow because you can use that experience as proof that you know what Airbnb hosts need.

A few things that can help:

  • Ask your current hosts for referrals. Let them know you’re looking to take on a few more properties and ask if they know other hosts who need a reliable cleaner.

  • Build a simple portfolio. Take good before/after photos (with the host’s permission) and highlight details like hotel-style bed making, bathrooms, kitchens, restocking, and quick turnovers.

  • Join local Airbnb/short-term rental groups. Facebook groups and local host communities can be great places to find hosts who are looking for cleaners.

  • Contact hosts directly. Look for Airbnb/short-term rentals in your area and introduce yourself professionally. A short message offering reliable turnover cleaning can work better than a generic “I’m a cleaner” advertisement.

  • Sell reliability, not just cleaning. Hosts care about having someone who shows up on time, follows instructions, notices problems, sends photos after the cleaning, and can handle last-minute turnovers.

  • Offer add-on services. Linen changes, laundry, restocking supplies, deep cleans, and reporting maintenance issues can make you more valuable to a host.

  • Ask for reviews/testimonials. If your current clients are happy, ask them for a short testimonial you can use when approaching new hosts.

One thing I’d emphasize: Airbnb cleaning is different from regular house cleaning. Hosts need someone who understands turnovers, tight schedules, presentation, and spotting things a guest might complain about. Your experience with the 2 properties you already clean is a real advantage.

I’d also avoid competing purely on price. Being the cleaner who is reliable and makes the host's life easier can be much more valuable than being the cheapest option. **
