Airbnb Checklist: Cleaning & Must Have Supplies
Help your guests take care of your property, just like you want them to, by providing them with the basic cleaning supplies in this Airbnb checklist.
Airbnb Essentials Checklist: Cleaning & Guest Must-Haves
Kitchen & Cleaning Supplies
Batteries
Think of everything that needs batteries in your Airbnb: remotes, keyless entries, smoke detectors, and more.
Stock the right types and keep extras on hand.
Replace batteries before guest arrivals and ask your cleaners to check them every few months to avoid surprises.
This will save you from extra guest messaging and trips to replenish!
pro tip: most smoke detectors take 9V batteries...nobody like a beeping smoke detector!
Light Bulbs
Just like batteries, make sure all bulbs are working.
Keep extras in your cleaning closet.
Have your cleaners swap them out before they burn out.
Safety & Emergencies
Fire extinguisher: Check local short-term rental rules—they may require a specific type.
First aid kit: A small, fully stocked kit can go a long way in giving guests peace of mind.
Guest Comfort
Iron & ironing board: Perfect for guests attending weddings, work trips, or other events.
