How does Slate keep short-term rentals guest-ready?

In short-term accommodation, turnovers are fast, expectations are high, and five-star reviews depend on the detail. There’s no time, or margin, for error. 

Our Airbnb cleaning service takes care of it all. Between every stay, we move quickly, deep cleaning, restocking essentials and resetting every room back to showcase condition. We even coordinate periodic window cleaning and floor treatments around your booking system. With Slate managing your vacation rental cleaning services, you’ll never miss a turnaround, and the wear and tear on your property will remain minimal in the long term. 

What’s included in a short-term rental cleaning service?

We curate every cleaning program around your property and your booking flow. Our teams of full-time Airbnb cleaners are trained and experienced in the nuances of vacation rentals and residential communities, and our local supervisors guarantee quality control, with regular inspections, photo reporting, and fast and easy communication for last-minute requests. 

A standard short-term rental cleaning service includes:

  • Full turnover clean between guest stays
  • Bedroom and linen reset, including bedmaking and management of laundry
  • Bathroom sanitation, product refills, and deodorising 
  • Kitchen cleaning, including appliances and dishware
  • Floor and surface care, including regular scheduling of specialized treatments 
  • Final inspection before guest arrival
  • Reporting of maintenance or repairs

We also make it easy to manage at scale. If you add new listings, we’re ready to go. We can set up a new short-term rental cleaning service in any city across the U.S. within ten business days, so your standards never drop as your portfolio grows.

FAQs

How experienced are Slate’s short-term rental cleaners?

Every Slate cleaner is a full-time employee, not a contractor, and is trained specifically for short-term rental and Airbnb cleaning services. 

They know what guests, hosts and property managers expect, are geared for success with the backing of national systems, and are supported by local city managers. 

Our Airbnb cleaners are:

  • Experienced in high-turnover environments 
  • Vetted and background-checked
  • Trained in hygiene, hospitality, and infection control protocols
  • Certified by industry bodies including BSCAI, IFMA, ConnexFM, and BOMA
  • Fully insured for general liability, excess/umbrella coverage and workers' compensation.

How fast can Slate schedule a short-term rental clean?

Short-term rentals operate on tight check-in and check-out windows. When timing is everything, you need a team that knows what they’re doing. 

Slate manages this easily through fast response scheduling, a digital supply management portal, and live tracking and reporting with geotagged check-in and out records. 

Our teams solve your short-term rental cleaning in:

Property Type - Normal Turnaround Window

Studio or 1-bedroom apartment - 2-3 hours

2-3 bedroom townhouse or apartment - 3-4 hours

3+ bedrooms, multi-unit or luxury accommodation - 3-5 hours, with a larger team of cleaners

Have a portfolio that needs nationwide coverage? We can launch a new Airbnb cleaning service in any U.S. city within ten business days.

Can Slate manage cleaning across multiple properties?

Absolutely. Our short-term rental cleaning service is ideal for property managers or hosts running several listings or even multi-state operations. 

Your guests will enjoy the consistency between your property listings, and you’ll love the reliability and clarity of a dedicated team. 

We support growth with:

  • Centralized billing options, per property or portfolio, to suit your operation
  • Dedicated account managers for easy communication
  • Photo-based quality reporting after every clean
  • Scalable scheduling that flexes with your occupancy

With Slate in your team, you’ll have one cleaning partner you can trust across every property, no matter where you grow.
