@Jo1037 We offer our guests extra cleanings at a discounted cleaning rate, but require a cleaning every 10 days or 2 weeks. We decided this because our place gets so dirty when guests stay for longer than a week (depending on the guest count and cleanliness of the guest, but there’s no way to know how clean they will be in advance). If guests have access to a washer & dryer, then they can take care of themselves in terms of refreshing their towels and linens, but if they ask for a cleaning, you can definitely provide that. It’s up to you if you want to charge for it. We do, and haven’t had any guest issues with that.
For much longer stays, you know your house better than anyone and will need to determine how often you’d like it to be cleaned. Based on how often you want it cleaned, you might either require the guest to pay for every cleaning, or if it feels like it might be too much for the guest (or you don’t want to cause a deal breaker), you might split the cost of the cleanings.
At the end of the day, you want to have a balanced and fair approach. You want to take care of your hard earned space, while still being inviting and flexible.
Lastly, whatever you decide, make sure you spell it out in your listing so there aren’t any surprises for you and your guests.
