Do you have backup cleaners?

Calvin Baughman
Posted

I was wondering if most Airbnb hosts have a plan B in case their cleaner goes missing at the last minute. I have 3 cleaners assigned to the same property, so there's no danger of anything unpleasant happening.

Another question I have is: how do you deal with these cleaners? Do they know they're backup cleaners or do they think it's just a one-off service? Do they feel uncomfortable knowing that they are not your first choice for cleaning the property?

And finally, where do you find these professionals with availability?

My cleaner has a crew, so has built-in backups. If my cleaner was a solo worker, I definitely would have backups, and life would be more stressful.
