Guest checks out, cleaners arrive to clean, conduct post stay inspection, and reset the home for next guest.

@Michael Baum, my cleaner now charges $175 for the full monty, will talk to her & see what will charge for basic clean /refresh ? 

You might want the landlord to provide cleaning services and the tenant has to open the unit to the cleaner.

The only thing we suggest to our guests is if they are able to start the dishwashwer before they leave it is helpful to our cleaners, but otherwise just lock the door when you leave and have a safe trip home.

Quote from @Cheryl James:Carpet cleaner and a little 409 goes a long way there.

You always hire professional cleaners if it's an old person's home and construction cleaners if it's a disaster area.

You could arrange to have your cleaners accept the deliveries at the property or hire a local handyman to do same and even assemble furniture.

We have an excellent team of cleaners handyman and other local professionals and been in the business for five years.What are the costs vs benefits of each platform?

If you can do the deal yourself safely, with reserves to cover unexpected issues, it is a lot cleaner.

Reliable Cleaners will make or break your success with short-term rentals, so that is a must.
