Essential Cleaning Tools Every Airbnb Host Needs

By Tidy Turns Cleaning Team

Professional insights to maintain spotless properties and impress guests

Running a successful Airbnb requires more than just a beautiful space – it demands impeccable cleanliness. At Tidy Turns, we’ve learned that having the right tools makes all the difference between a good clean and an exceptional one.

After cleaning hundreds of properties, we’ve identified the essential tools that help hosts maintain five-star cleanliness standards. These are the professional-grade items we rely on to deliver consistently outstanding results for our clients.

1. Professional-Grade Vacuum

The Foundation of Clean Floors

Investing in a commercial-grade vacuum pays dividends in appearance and longevity. We recommend:

  • Shark Navigator Lift-Away for its powerful suction
  • Lightweight design for easy maneuverability
  • HEPA filtration to capture allergens
  • Versatile attachments for different surfaces

Vacuum daily between guests and deep clean carpets monthly to maintain fresh-looking floors.

2. Dual Mop System

For Sparkling Hard Floors

Our 3-step mopping system ensures no streaks or residue:

  • O-Cedar EasyWring Microfiber Spin Mop – for deep cleaning
  • Professional flat mop – for quick maintenance
  • Microfiber pads (color-coded for different areas)
  • Natural cleaning solution (vinegar, water, essential oils)

This combination tackles everything from sticky spills to light dusting with efficiency.

3. Microfiber Magic

The Secret to Streak-Free Surfaces

Not all cloths are created equal. We use a color-coded microfiber system:

  • Blue – Glass and mirrors
  • Purple – Bathroom surfaces
  • Lavender – Kitchen counters
  • Indigo – Floors only

Microfiber captures 99% of bacteria without chemicals and leaves surfaces gleaming.

4. Professional Cleaning Solutions

Effective & Eco-Friendly Formulas

The right cleaners make tough jobs easy while being safe for guests:

  • Lysol All-Purpose Cleaner – for most surfaces
  • Bar Keepers Friend – for tough stains
  • Method Bathroom Cleaner – for soap scum
  • Vinegar solution – for glass and natural cleaning
  • Peppermint castile soap – for floors

Always choose products that are effective yet gentle on surfaces.

5. Detail Cleaning Tools

Reaching the Unreachable

Professional results come from attention to detail:

  • Grout brushes – for tile lines
  • Micro-cleaning toothbrushes – for fixtures
  • Extendable dusters – for ceilings and fans
  • Lint rollers – for upholstery
  • Magic Erasers – for scuff marks

These tools help eliminate the dust and grime that guests notice.

6. Specialized Equipment

For Tough Cleaning Challenges

Every property needs solutions for specific challenges:

  • Window squeegee – for streak-free glass
  • Pumice stone – for tough toilet stains
  • Sink snake – for drain maintenance
  • Steam cleaner – for deep sanitization
  • UV flashlight – to check for hidden messes

This equipment helps tackle problems before guests notice them.

7. Mobile Cleaning Caddy

Efficiency On The Go

Organization is key to efficient turnovers:

  • Professional cleaning caddy with compartments
  • Portable laundry hamper
  • Trash grabber tool
  • Multi-pocket apron
  • Digital checklist tablet

A well-organized system can cut cleaning time by 30% or more.
