What's inside the free printable

Two pages, print-ready. Page one is the room-by-room turnover checklist with a tick box for every task; page two has your cleaning kit, a restock-to-par list, a timing guide by property size, and a final walkthrough you run before you lock up. Print one per turnover, or slip it in a sleeve and use a dry-wipe pen.

What the checklist covers

The checklist covers a full Airbnb turnover: strip and replace linens, deep-clean the bathroom and kitchen, sanitise every high-touch surface, reset the living space to your listing photos, restock supplies to par, and a final walkthrough — the exact tasks that keep cleanliness, the most-cited factor in reviews, at five stars.

1
Bedroom & bathroom

Linens, high-touch surfaces, descale the shower, restock and the hair-in-the-corner check.

2
Kitchen & living

Dishes and appliances, counters, dust and reset, windows, vacuum and mop last.

3
Supplies & restocking

One-caddy cleaning kit and a restock-to-par list so you never finish a roll short.

4
Timing & walkthrough

How long a turnover takes by property size, plus a final pre-arrival walkthrough.

How to use the printable

  1. 1
    Download & print

    Grab the PDF above and print a copy — or print several and keep them with your cleaning caddy.

  2. 2
    Work room by room

    Clean one room completely before the next, top to bottom, floors last, ticking each box as you go.

  3. 3
    Hand it to whoever cleans

    You or your cleaner work from the same sheet, so the standard never depends on memory.

  4. 4
    Run the final walkthrough

    One last pass with fresh eyes, reset to your listing photos, and you're guest-ready.

Tip: for a reusable copy, hand cleaners the laminated sheet and a dry-wipe pen, or move up to the editable version below where each cleaner initials the sign-off boxes per room. We follow current EPA guidance on disinfecting high-touch surfaces — see the EPA's list of registered disinfectants.

Free printable checklist FAQ

Is the printable Airbnb cleaning checklist really free?

Yes. The two-page PDF is free to download and print for your own hosting use. Add your email to get a copy sent to you, or download it directly above. The only paid upgrade is the print-ready, fillable version with per-room sign-off boxes you can reuse — an editable Canva version is coming soon, free for early buyers.

What format is the free cleaning checklist?

A print-ready PDF sized for US Letter, so it prints cleanly at home with no setup. Page one is the room-by-room turnover checklist; page two covers supplies, restocking, a timing guide and a final walkthrough.

Can my cleaner use the free checklist?

Yes — that's the point. Print one copy per turnover and hand it to whoever cleans, so the standard never depends on memory or who holds the mop. For sign-off boxes a cleaner initials per room, the paid editable version adds them.

Can I edit the free Airbnb cleaning checklist?

The free PDF is fixed so it prints perfectly. If you need per-room sign-off boxes and blank cards for a cabin, beach house or hot tub, the print-ready, fillable 5-Star Turnover Checklist lets you type in and print your own. An editable Canva version is coming soon, free for early buyers.
