Define the turnover checklist
List rooms, bathrooms, kitchen surfaces, floors, rubbish, linen, towels, consumables and condition notes. Confirm whether laundry, restocking, dishes, deep cleaning, carpets and appliance interiors are included or separate.
Check timing and access arrangements
Share checkout and check-in windows, keys or codes, alarms, parking, building rules and an on-site contact. Set a realistic turnaround based on property size, condition and the agreed tasks.
Verify provider and current platform requirements
Ask who will attend, how substitutions and issues are handled, what relevant insurance applies and how damage is documented. Check current platform rules and local requirements; policies can change and generic online articles may be outdated.
Compare written quotes and limitations
Give each provider the same property details and task list. Confirm price basis, supplies, exclusions, cancellation and follow-up terms. Cleaning cannot guarantee reviews, occupancy, health outcomes or compensation for property damage.
