Airbnb & Homestay Cleaning Checklist for Indore Hosts

Indore gets a steady stream of short-stay guests — business travellers visiting offices and IT parks, families on food trips to Sarafa and Chappan Dukan, and pilgrims staying in Indore on their way to Mahakaleshwar in Ujjain and Omkareshwar. For homestay and Airbnb hosts, cleanliness is the number one factor in reviews. One bad “not clean” comment can drop bookings for weeks.

Turnover checklist (between every guest)

• Strip beds and replace all linen and towels with freshly washed sets
• Clean and disinfect the bathroom: WC, basin, shower, mirror and floor
• Wipe kitchen platform, stove, sink and inside the fridge; wash all used utensils
• Empty all dustbins and replace liners
• Dust surfaces, switchboards, remotes and door handles
• Sweep and mop all floors, including the balcony
• Check for items left behind and any damage
• Restock toiletries, drinking water, tea, coffee and toilet paper

Guests notice these first

• Hair in the bathroom or on pillows
• Stained or smelly towels
• Dusty fans and AC vents
• A musty smell in the room
• Sticky kitchen surfaces

Monthly deep cleaning for hosts

Quick turnover cleans are not enough over time. Every month or two, schedule a professional deep clean: mattress and sofa shampooing, bathroom descaling, kitchen degreasing and water tank cleaning. It keeps your property feeling new and protects your ratings during the peak festival and Shravan seasons, when bookings from pilgrims are highest.

Tip: keep a written checklist

Print this checklist for your caretaker or housekeeping staff so that every turnover follows the same standard. If you manage several properties, we can also provide trained housekeeping staff in Indore on a monthly basis.
