Write a list that does not depend on memory
The list should follow the same order every time: entrance, bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, living areas, final check. Do not write only “clean kitchen”; name surfaces, appliances, and items to reset.
Keep a short working version and a detailed version with reference photos. Update it when furnishings or rules change.
- Room-by-room order
- Photo of the expected result
- Supply locations
- Contact for questions
Solve linens before turnover day
Wash and dry cycles can exceed the gap between checkout and check-in. Clean, folded sets keep a slow cycle from delaying the whole reset.
Count sheets, covers, towels, and mattress protectors. State where dirty linen goes and who collects it. Keep a backup set for a stain or tear.
- Two or more sets per bed
- Clean linen ready
- Bag or bin for used linen
- Laundry responsibility assigned
Manage supplies with thresholds
“Refill as needed” is too vague. Set a minimum for paper, soap, bags, and guest items. Store backups in a labelled location.
Decide who buys items and how spending is approved. A provider should not advance costs without a clear procedure.
- Minimum for each item
- Labelled reserve
- Purchase list
- Spending approval
Plan for exceptions and delays
Heavy dishes, a late checkout, or damage changes the duration. Write a procedure: photos, message to the contact, priority rooms, and approval before extra time.
Visual reporting is not a technical inspection. A broken appliance, infestation, or water issue needs the right professional. The host remains responsible for municipal, condominium, and platform rules.
- Photos without personal data
- Reachable contact
- Priorities when delayed
- Escalation to the correct trade
Organize the handover between stays
At departure
Confirm the property is vacant before work begins. Record forgotten belongings or damage for reporting without treating repairs as included. Decide who can authorize an extra task if conditions differ from the original request.
During the visit
Ready linen and accessible supplies keep the whole job from depending on a wash cycle. Write down who handles used linen and which items are replaced. If laundry is included, confirm capacity, available time and the fallback for missing linen.
Before arrival
Check the agreed list, installed linen and reported issues. Define who performs that check and who authorizes corrections. Photos should document specific agreed points, not serve as a blanket guarantee of results.
For the next step, you can prepare surfaces and access.
