How do I handle the cleaning when I am hosting two different guests at the same time?

[Adrienne174]

I am new as a Abnb host and I am wondering how do I go about handling the cleaning especially bathroom when I am hosting two different guests at the same time. I live on premise however we love being on the go and leave guests giving them the experience of having the house to themselves. I noticed that as the guests used the bathroom particular the shower it’s need cleaning you clearly see a ring and hair left behind, I do not want the next guest having to shower or take a bath after a guest and clearly see the tub needs cleaning. Any ideas?

When I am hosting two different guest I will not leave to go about my business so I can get the bathroom cleaned if needed. I do not charge a cleaning fee FYI...

I am anal about my cleaning just like others (I clean myself no problem on my end to do it) however I do want to still have a life but I cannot figure out how to get it clean unless I have the guess do it.

Thanks

IF I WAS IN THAT SITUATION, I USUALLY DO NOT RENT BACK TO BACK. ITS TOO FRUSTRATING AND I WOULD BE TOO CONCERN IF I WOULD LEAVE THE HOME.  ITS BETTER TO RECD A GOOD REVIEW, AS OPPOSED TO A NEGATIVE ONE.  I AM TAKING A TRIP IN A FEW WEEKS, BUT I WILL NOT RENT THE SECOND FLOOR, UNTIL I RETURN. 

I ALREADY HAVE A GENTLEMAN, WHO IS ON THE FIRST FLOOR AND I LET HIM KNOW, HE WILL BE THE ONLY ONE ON THE PREMISES, UNTIL I RETURN.

I HAVE LUCKED OUT WITH RECEIVING, PROFESSIONAL, KIND AND WARMHEARTED PEOPLE.

There are several ways to handle bathroom cleaning between guests, without having to rely on guests to clean it themselves. Here are a few options you could consider:

1. Schedule cleaning time: Depending on your schedule and the check-in/check-out times of your guests, you could allocate some time to clean the bathroom before the next guest arrives.

2. Hire a cleaning service: If you are short on time or prefer to have a professional clean the bathroom, you could hire a local cleaning service to do the work for you.

3. Use quick-cleaning products: There are a variety of products available that can help you quickly clean the bathroom between guests, such as scrubbing foams and sprays that target specific areas like the shower or sink.

4. Provide cleaning supplies for guests: If you prefer to give guests some responsibility for cleaning, you could provide cleaning supplies like a scrub brush, cleaner, and towels, and ask them to clean the bathroom before they leave.

Remember, as an Airbnb host, providing a clean and hygienic space for guests is important to ensure a positive experience. By taking steps to quickly and efficiently clean the bathroom between guests, you can help maintain a high standard of cleanliness and comfort for all of your visitors. **

To handle cleaning when hosting two different guests at the same time, create a cleaning schedule that includes specific tasks for each guest's space, use color-coded cleaning supplies for each area, and communicate openly with your guests about your cleaning routine to ensure everyone's comfort and satisfaction.

@Adrienne174 First of all, you cannot clean yourself and have a life haha. I'm sorry to bring you the bad news, but it's true. The cleaning process is way too complex to get it done by yourself, especially if you have multiple properties. But you can download "Turno for Hosts", it's an awesome app. It'll schedule and pay your cleaners automatically, and you can also play with plenty of useful features as cleaning checklists, problem reporting, quality center (in order to compare cleaners' performance linked to your Airbnb listing). All of it increase your guests's experience and raise your chances of getting a 5-star review.

On their marketplace, you'll make a public search for cleaners with your property's information (number of bedrooms, bathroom, size, etc.) then you'll get bids from cleaners in your area, and you can accept the ones that better fit your needs. This would not creat a project, don't worry. You can speak with the cleaners and talk this through, organize your demands, adjust the price of the bid, if necessary... Anyway, I think you'll get a better idea once you try it!

Hi @Adrienne174 

Keeping the bathroom spotless between different guests in a shared space can be tricky, especially when you want to maintain a great experience for everyone.

Since you’re not charging a cleaning fee and prefer to handle it yourself, here are a few things that might help:

1.Set expectations upfront – A little note in the bathroom (or a quick message) kindly asking guests to rinse the shower/tub after use can go a long way. Some guests just don’t realize!

2.Keep cleaning supplies accessible – A visible, easy-to-use spray and some disposable wipes might encourage guests to do a quick wipe-down themselves.

3.Schedule quick check-ins – If you’re home, you could pop in to do a quick refresh between guest use, but I totally get that you don’t want to be tied to the house.

If you ever want to automate scheduling cleanings (or even find a reliable cleaner when you're away), Soyhome can help. It’s designed for hosts who want to keep things running smoothly without constantly managing tasks. Hope this helps, and happy hosting! 😊
