Who this list is for
This checklist is designed for hosts or cleaners turning over a one-bedroom vacation rental. It focuses on guest-ready cleaning and standard resets between bookings, not deep maintenance or property repairs.
How to use this list
Start by photographing the space before cleaning. Move step by step, checking off each task as you complete it. This helps avoid missing smaller tasks like swapping out hand soap or toilet paper. Use it every turnover for consistency.
What to skip
Skip repairs and major appliance checks—this list is for routine turnovers only. Don’t spend time on outdoor spaces or specialty cleaning jobs unless they’re part of your regular process.
What is on this list
Tasks include photographing the pre-clean state, checking for forgotten guest belongings, stripping bed linens, and bagging used towels. You’ll run a laundry load, vacuum the bedroom, and mop hard floors. The bathroom gets a full clean: sink, shower or tub, and toilet. Replace two toilet paper rolls and hand soap so the next guest arrives fully stocked.
Before the next guest arrives
Do a final walk-through for missed items or lingering smells. Confirm all linens and towels are replaced. Restock cleaning supplies if needed. Lock up, set thermostats if required, and update your turnover log for reference.
