Schedule turnover cleanings and write cleaner checklists
The problem
Back-to-back checkouts and check-ins leave hosts texting cleaners at the last minute, missed items (towels, restocking, damage photos) turn into bad reviews, and every cleaner does the turnover a little differently.
How AI solves it
Connect your booking calendar to a turnover scheduling tool so a cleaning job is created automatically after every checkout. Then have AI write a room-by-room turnover checklist for your property, a restock list with par levels, photo-proof instructions for damage and lost items, and short message templates for cleaners (new job, same-day turnover, issue found). Keep the checklist in your host software or cleaning app so every turnover meets the same standard.
