  • Isn't hiring a professional service too expensive?

    While there is an upfront cost, it's more accurate to view it as an investment with a clear return. The time you save, combined with the proven increase in bookings and 5-star reviews, means the service often pays for itself and then some.

  • How can I trust a service to meet my high standards?

    Trust is built on systems and communication. We use detailed, property-specific checklists and provide rigorous training for our team. Our use of Jobber software ensures you have a clear line of communication and receive reports after every turnover, so you’re always in the loop without having to be on-site.

  • What happens if I have a last-minute or back-to-back booking?

    This is where a professional service is most valuable. We have the staff and scheduling systems to handle tight turnarounds efficiently, ensuring your property is perfectly ready without causing you stress. We offer flexible scheduling and even have options for last-minute needs.

  • Do you operate in my city?

    Earth Love Cleaning proudly serves the Front Range area of Colorado (including Denver and Boulder), as well as Seattle, WA, and Atlanta, GA. We are continuously expanding, so we encourage you to reach out for a quote even if you're nearby.

  • Why should eco-friendly cleaning matter for my short-term rental?

    It's a powerful market differentiator. In a sea of listings, offering a "non-toxic" or "allergy-friendly" stay helps you stand out. It shows a level of care and quality that attracts discerning guests, justifies higher rates, and leads to the kind of glowing reviews that fuel long-term success.

Ready to Reclaim Your Time and Boost Your Ratings?


Stop letting turnovers manage you. Take the first step toward a more profitable, less stressful hosting journey. Let our team provide the reliable, 5-star cleanings your property deserves.


Much like a mechanic’s toolbox, each cleaner’s supply kit will vary. The following supply list is a starting point to expand upon as you determine more specific items to fit your needs.


Top supplies to clean your Airbnb rental include:

  • Vacuum
  • Mop (traditional or Swiffer type)
  • All-purpose cleaner
  • Glass cleaner
  • Disinfectant wipes
  • Microfiber cloths
  • Toilet brush
  • Duster
  • Wood polish

You may choose to store these supplies at your property so that guests can easily clean up spills or other messes made during their stay. If you prefer to not implement Airbnb guest cleaning expectations, these basic supplies are crucial for completing thorough turnovers.


Top Airbnb Cleaning Supplies by Room

Once you have your essential supplies stocked, you may choose to invest in additional cleaning tools and equipment to help make vacation rental cleaning more efficient and effective. Below, learn some of our top Airbnb cleaning supplies for each room of your property.


Best Tools for the Bathroom

Airbnb bathrooms collect dust, hair, and other dirt and bacteria. It’s imperative to clean your bathrooms with the utmost attention to detail. No guest after a long day of travel wants to step into a shower or tub with grime and soap scum.

OXO Deep Clean Brush Set

Since most bathrooms have tiles on the floor and/or in the shower, tackling the grout is a must while cleaning. The OXO Deep Clean Brush comes in a set of two, a large brush and a small brush. The bristles are perfect for handling grout in the bathroom and stovetops in the kitchen.


Pair it with The Pink Stuff miracle cleaning paste to fully remove dirt or grime from any surface. The Pink Stuff uses all-natural, vegan ingredients, so there is also no worry about harsh chemicals while you clean.


Sprayway Glass Cleaner

Bathroom mirrors attract streaks and water stains with each guest’s stay, and Sprayway Glass Cleaner is the perfect product to achieve that sparkling reflection. Although the product says “glass cleaner,” the ammonia-free spray is perfect for mirrors as well.

This product is also helpful to clean windows and screens on TVs and computers, so use this product in every room of your short-term rental. Pair it with a microfiber cloth to minimize the chances of getting any lint or streaks on the surfaces you’re cleaning.


Mr. Clean Magic Eraser

The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is perfect for erasing built-up grime on bathtubs and shower walls. To use a Magic Eraser, just soak it in water and it’s good to go for tackling any surface.


Best Tools for the Kitchen

Many travelers opt for vacation rentals because they have kitchens, but Airbnb kitchens can easily become dirty from cooking and eating. The cleaning supplies below are versatile and can also be used beyond this room in the house.

From a Fresh Start to a Thriving Team When Savannah moved to Colorado in 2014 as a young single mother, she was looking for a fresh start built on resilience, hard work, and a vision of creating a better future for her family. What began in 2016 as a solo cleaning venture throughout Boulder County quickly gained momentum through word-of-mouth referrals, attention to detail, and a reputation for reliability. A pivotal turning point arrived when local property managers turned to Savannah for reliable vacation rental cleanings. As demand surged, she built systematic processes and brought on dedicated team members.

Powered by Plants and People From day one, what has set Earth Love Cleaning apart is a deep commitment to environmental sustainability and human wellness. To bring that vision to life, Savannah pursued formal studies in Clinical Herbalism, gaining a specialized understanding of plant-based ingredients and holistic wellness. That education continues to shape every aspect of our work today:  Non-Toxic & Eco-Conscious: We exclusively use plant-based, non-toxic cleaning methods that protect the health of your home, children, pets, and the planet. People-First Culture: We believe sustainable business means investing in people.
