Behind the Scenes: A Day in the Life of an Airbnb Cleaning Crew in London

 

Managing an Airbnb in London is exciting — but it comes with unique challenges, especially around cleaning and preparing for new guests.
At Iva Cleaning Services LTD, we specialise in Airbnb cleaning services in London, helping hosts deliver 5-star experiences every time.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what really happens during a typical day with our team.


8:00 AM — The Day Begins with a Plan

Each morning, our Airbnb cleaning team gathers to review the day’s schedule.
With properties spread across London — from stylish apartments in Shoreditch to elegant homes in Kensington — timing and precision are crucial.

Important for Hosts:

  • Cleaning appointments are normally carried out between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM.

  • When there is no same-day changeover, cleaning may be slightly earlier or later — but never later than 6:00 PM.

  • All cleaning and linen services must be booked and scheduled by 3:00 PM the previous day to guarantee service.

We also kindly ask all clients to advise us of their preferred cleaning time and property access details in advance.


10:00 AM — Check-Outs, Clean-ups, and Full-Service Support

When guests check out, our team gets to work immediately:

  • Full clean of the property

  • Stripping beds and setting up hotel-quality fresh linen

  • Disinfecting bathrooms, kitchens, and high-touch areas

  • Restocking essentials (toilet paper, soap, tea, coffee)

  • Supplying cleaning products if stocks are running low (and purchasing replacements when needed)

We provide everything:

  • Professional cleaners

  • Fresh linen

  • All cleaning materials when they run out. 

  • Damage reporting if anything is found wrong after a guest’s stay

We take care of all the details so you can focus on hosting — stress-free.


1:00 PM — Handling the Unexpected

London life means flexibility is key. We are prepared for:

  • Transport disruptions (such as tube strikes, traffic jams, road closures)

  • Key problems like missing keys, wrong key codes, or incorrect addresses

When challenges happen, we act immediately, contacting hosts and coordinating solutions without delay.

Important Reminder for Hosts:
If your guests are checking out later than the official check-out time, you must notify us in advance.
If no notification is given and our team is delayed, an additional charge will apply to your final bill.
This ensures fairness for all hosts and keeps our tight schedules running smoothly.


3:00 PM — Linen Booked and Cleans for Next Day Set-Up

Our linen rental service guarantees that every guest finds:

  • Crisp, clean bed sheets

  • Fluffy, fresh towels

  • Impeccable presentation that feels boutique hotel-level

We handle all linen logistics — washing, pressing, delivery, and set-up — so you don’t have to.

Final Checks for 5-Star Guest Readiness

Before leaving, our cleaners:

  • Double-check every room

  • Fluff cushions and fold throws

  • Set lighting and ambiance for a welcoming atmosphere

  • Spray light, fresh scents to complete the feel

  • Take photos or report any issues directly to you

Everything is ready for the next guest’s perfect stay.
