Guests might forgive a traffic jam or a rainy day, but sticky floors or smudged mirrors in their short-term rental? That’s a grudge they'll carry straight into their review. In places like Saint Augustine and Orlando, where beach escapes and theme park adventures are the main event, expectations are sky-high. Families, sun-seekers, and thrill-chasers are looking for a spotless launchpad for their memories. Tiny upgrades in cleaning like polished windows, fresh spa tubs, furniture that’s actually dust-free, stack up fast. Higher cleaning standards quietly build higher guest ratings, and better ratings mean busier calendars and bigger payouts. The difference between "nice stay" and "best trip ever" often starts with what guests see—and smell—the moment they drop their bags.
Quick checklist for hosts
You need to find a short-term rental cleaner that can deliver. Every. Single. time. Here’s what to look for when you’re sizing up your options:
Are they licensed, bonded, and insured? (If not—run.)
Do they have an owner’s eye for detail around the property? Do they look beyond just cleaning? (Is there a tree leaning over the home? Is the grass yellow? Are there signs of mosquitoes?)
Do they restock consumables and track inventory? Do they manage linen damage?
Are they a true extension of your team—or do they disappear after cleaning, not even answering the phone?
Will they run errands if needed? Replace propane?
Do they stage the property, not just scrub it?
Is clear communication a guarantee, not an afterthought?
Can they handle back-to-backs without turning your calendar into a guessing game?
Choosing a team that ticks every box means less worrying for you and a lot more five-star checkouts for your guests.
