Efficient Airbnb cleaning schedule

[Santiago Belmonte]

Hey BP! A friend and I are trying to create a fool proof way to automate our Airbnb cleaning schedule. We currently create a google doc and right down the dates with time frames that we need the cleaners to clean, but sometimes guest decide to leave early so we have to hop back into that google doc sheet and update it ,and then send it back out and explain what happen to our cleaners. We are looking into using google calendar and add the events and send the cleaners invites. but other than this Do any of you have current processes you would recommend to have a more automated way to schedule and update time frames for cleaners?

I am using YourPorter.  Like many other rental management platforms, it keeps my cleaners updated automatically.  It sends them a  reminder the day before, but my cleaner also has a link to the yourporter calendar for cleaning events.  They can see the check in and check outs and know whether or not it is a turn, which in my case they mostly are turns.  Where I am in the loop, is in our check out procedures we have the guests text us the cabin name they are in when they leave.  If I receive that early in the morning, I let my cleaner know the place is ready if she wants to get there early based on her schedule.
