Best Overall: TidyHost

Learn More

Why We Chose It: We chose TidyHost as our top Airbnb cleaning service for its excellent user reviews, its post-cleaning quality control check, and its availability in more than one region.

TidyHost employs highly-trained housekeepers and assigns both a primary and secondary cleaner to your property, so that you’re always covered in the event that your main person can’t make it. Sync your calendar with the company’s so that the housekeeper is deployed as soon as your guests check out. 

Cleaning supplies are included, and if you have on-site laundry facilities, you can request that your housekeeper launder your linens. TidyHost also offers a linen service for a flat per-bed fee per month so you can get luxurious, Turkish cotton linens delivered with every cleaning.

Your housekeeper will re-stock any guest amenities that you keep on-site, and notify you if stocks are running low. Alternatively, TidyHost can supply amenities for an extra fee. In addition, both the cleaning team and your property are covered by comprehensive insurance.

TidyHost is available in Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Chicago, and Nashville.

Best in New York City: Maid Sailors

Learn More

Why We Chose It: We selected Maid Sailors for its excellent independent reviews, which claim that cleaners are consistently efficient, respectful, and on time.

With its dedicated Airbnb Turnaround Service in addition to private and corporate cleaning, Maid Sailors has a particularly loyal following in New York City (although it also operates in parts of New Jersey, Chicago, Boston, and Miami).

All cleaners are reference-checked and interviewed in person, and all of them speak English. If you are happy with the first cleaner you’re assigned, you can request that they turn up to all of your future appointments.

Entry-level packages include one bathroom, one bedroom, a common room, and the kitchen; you can add more rooms as needed. If you require services that go beyond the standard checklist (like laundry or a full deep clean), you can tailor your quote to include them.

All cleaning supplies are provided and recurring bookings are eligible for a discounted rate. Maid Sailors is also fully bonded and insured. Although this company does not offer automatic scheduling like most of the others on this list, it’s quick and easy to schedule cleanings online.

Best in California: MaidThis

Learn More

Why We Chose It: MaidThis was a top pick because of its excellent Yelp reviews, the ability to get a quote for multiple properties, and its comprehensive cleaning checklist.

For Airbnb owners in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Francisco, and the Bay Area, MaidThis is a standout option.

Unlike many of the companies on this list, MaidThis is a matchmaking service, pairing Airbnb owners with independent cleaners in their local area. To join the platform all cleaners must pass a comprehensive 5-step screening process including a background check. 

MaidThis offers the ability to sync your calendar for automated scheduling. However, to account for California traffic, cleaners do not arrive at a specific time. Instead, the company simply guarantees that your home will be cleaned and ready before the next guest’s arrival.

The standard cleaning service includes one load of laundry per bedroom; you can also request a deep cleaning service as needed. Cleaners will submit post-clean photos via the MaidThis app, and can also report low inventory or damage from previous guests. Discounted rates are available for more than four turnovers per month.

Best in Washington D.C.: Spekless

Learn More

Why We Chose It: Spekless stands out as the top Airbnb cleaning service in Washington, D.C., for its near-perfect Yelp and Google reviews.

Spekless operates in Arlington, Alexandria, Bethesda, Austin, and Dallas, and cleaners in all areas go through a complex vetting and interview process.

To save you time, the company offers fully-integrated scheduling, with cleanings booked automatically whenever a guest checks out. If you have a last-minute change of plans, no problem: Just get in touch via SMS, phone, or email and expect an average response time of just 16 minutes. 

Spekless offers three cleaning packages—standard, deep cleaning, and move-in/out—all with clear checklists so that you know what to expect. The standard package includes one load of laundry, replenishing in-unit amenities, and a damage report. Plus, it also covers the staging of the unit to your exact specifications.

Cleaners bring all of their own products and equipment, and you can request a green clean using eco-friendly items if desired. You can also get quotes for multiple properties, and all services covered by a 100% satisfaction guarantee. 

Best in Kissimmee: Vacation Home Help

Learn More

Why We Chose It: We picked Vacation Home Help as our top Airbnb cleaning service for vacation homes because of its excellent reviews and background-checked cleaners.

According to a 2019 Statista report, Kissimmee, FL, has the most Airbnb listings in the U.S. due to its proximity to Walt Disney World Resort and other Orlando theme parks. In addition to Kissimmee, Vacation Home Help operates in Orlando, Davenport, and Clermont, where it hires background-checked cleaners who often come from top Disney resorts and hotel brands.

Choose to make bookings manually via an online system that takes just 90 seconds, or sync your property’s calendar so that the cleaning team arrives automatically in-between bookings.

All cleaners are bonded and insured, and supply their own cleaning products. They can restock amenities and report damages or missing items, and take photos to support your insurance claim. For an additional cost, Vacation Home Help can also supply guest amenities (including welcome packs and thank you notes). Other products include maintenance, handyman, and home watch services.

Best in Miami: HomeClean Miami

Learn More

Why We Chose It: We selected HomeClean Miami because of its loyal client base and intensive staff vetting process.

HomeClean Miami is a stellar option for vacation rental owners in Miami. Each cleaner must submit a background check, undergoes several weeks of training, and is rated and reviewed on every task.

The company is also fully insured and licensed, with an easy online booking process that includes a follow-up discussion about your specific requirements. Via the HomeClean Miami app, you can communicate directly with your cleaner and also add a co-host to the discussion. 

The company offers regular and deep cleaning services, with all cleaning products included. You will need to supply some equipment, though, including a mop and bucket, broom, dustpan, and toilet brush. Laundry carries an extra charge but can be done using your own washer/dryer or taken to a local laundromat.

Cleaners can supply before and after photos of their cleaning efforts and also let you know about any damages or amenities that need to be resupplied. Still not sure? HomeClean Miami offers a 100% guarantee whereby you can request a re-clean within 48 hours if unsatisfied.

Best in Charlotte: Whystle

Learn More

Why We Chose It: We chose Whystle in Charlotte for its comprehensive cleaning checklist and 100% money-back guarantee.

Whystle is a top pick for its thorough vetting process when employing local staff members.

Typically Whystle will try to send the same cleaner to your property every time. If they can’t make it, a quality replacement will be sent, with availability guaranteed if you book 48 hours or more in advance.

You can choose to make your bookings manually or sync your calendar for automated cleanings. Discounts apply for recurring services and tailored quotes are available for multiple rental units. If your rental is pet-friendly, you’ll be pleased to hear Whystle does not charge extra to deal with animal hair.

Unlike most of the companies on this list, Whystle includes cleaning inside the oven and fridge on its standard cleaning checklist. Dishwashing and linen laundering are also included (if you have laundry facilities on-site; a small fee applies for taking the laundry to a laundromat). The number of free loads depends on the size of your property. 

Best Marketplace: TurnoverBnB

Learn More

Why We Chose It: We selected TurnoverBnB for its positive reviews and reliability when it comes to finding vetted independent cleaners.

If your Airbnb property isn’t covered by any of the companies listed above, consider using TurnoverBnB to find reliable independent cleaners in your local area. The platform is used by more than 20,000 hosts and property managers and 25,000 cleaners located all over the world.

All cleaners undergo a basic review of their ID and references before being allowed to join. Verified badges proving background checks, insurance, licenses, and bonding help you to choose between candidates. 

When you have a cleaning job, submit a description to TurnoverBnB. Cleaners in your local area will then bid on the job, and you can review their profile and chat with them before deciding who to hire.

The platform allows for secure online payments and if the cleaner fails to show up or doesn’t clean as expected, you can void their payment for up to five days after the job is marked complete. You can also rate cleaners and prevent them from applying for your jobs in the future. The TurnoverBnB app is free for your first property and costs roughly $6 per month for additional properties.
