Cleanliness is the review category guests are quickest to mark down. One hair in the shower or crumbs under the couch cushions can undo a five-star stay, so every turnover should follow the same checklist.
Start with linens: strip every bed, replace towels, and check mattress protectors for stains. Then sanitize the kitchen and bathrooms, the two rooms guests inspect the closest.
Next, reset the space: run the dishwasher, empty every trash can, wipe high-touch surfaces like remotes and door handles, and restock toiletries, coffee, and paper goods.
Finish with staging and a walkthrough. Fold the towels the way your listing photos show them, and note any damage or missing items for the host before the next guest arrives.
