Build a repeatable Melbourne turnover checklist
List bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, living areas, floors and high-touch points for the specific apartment or home. Note rubbish, dishes, bed-making, linen changes and laundry as separate tasks. Set out host-provided linen and consumables clearly, and agree whether restocking or reporting lost property is included rather than assuming it forms part of a standard clean.
Coordinate checkout, access and the next arrival
Share checkout and check-in times, the authorised key or smart-lock process, building entry, lift or loading rules, parking and an emergency contact. Tell the cleaner about access restrictions and rooms not to enter. A short changeover window should be discussed before confirming a booking; cleaning time depends on property size, condition and the agreed list.
Clean surfaces to their care instructions
A turnover checklist can cover accessible benches, sinks, appliance exteriors, bathrooms, mirrors, touchpoints and suitable floors. Follow appliance and surface care directions, keep moisture away from electronics and use compatible products. Damage, maintenance, pest treatment, hazardous waste and deep restoration are not ordinary turnover-cleaning tasks.
Prepare a useful Airbnb cleaning quote request
Include the Melbourne suburb, property type, bedroom and bathroom count, current condition, requested checklist, linen arrangements, access instructions and preferred changeover window. Photos or a floor plan can clarify unusual layouts or access. Confirm price, availability, inclusions and exclusions before accepting the booking.
