Holiday let and air bnb cleaning in Cheltenham: five star reviews start with five star cleanliness

Is the pressure of the perfect changeover taking the joy out of your holiday let business?

Owning a holiday let in a beautiful area like Cheltenham and the Cotswolds should be a rewarding venture. Yet, so many owners find themselves trapped in a stressful cycle of managing bookings, communicating with guests, and, most demanding of all, handling the clean-up. The window of time between one guest checking out and the next checking in is incredibly tight, and the standards expected are higher than ever. A single hair in the shower or a dusty shelf can be the difference between a glowing five star review and a damaging public complaint that impacts your future bookings.

Guests today are not just looking for a place to sleep. They are paying for an experience, an escape from their daily lives. They expect a standard of cleanliness that is equal to, or even better than, a high quality hotel. Our specialist holiday let cleaning service is designed to take this entire burden from your shoulders. We are not just cleaners. We are your reliable changeover partners, a dedicated team that understands the unique demands of the short stay rental market. We work quickly and meticulously to reset your property to an immaculate, guest ready standard every single time, ensuring every new arrival feels like the very first person to step through the door.

More than just a clean, it is a complete guest-ready experience

A standard domestic clean is simply not enough for a holiday let. The level of detail required is far more intense. It is about erasing any trace of the previous guests and staging the property to look exactly as it does in your listing photos. It is a forensic level of cleaning combined with thoughtful presentation. Our service is built on this understanding. We follow a comprehensive checklist that covers every aspect of the property, ensuring consistency and a high quality finish that will delight your guests and protect your investment.

Our team knows what guests look for and what owners worry about. We clean with the critical eye of a paying guest, looking in the places that are often missed. We check that the wifi is working, that the television remote is visible, and that the welcome book is on display. We do not just clean, we prepare. We create the perfect, welcoming environment that sets the stage for a wonderful stay and encourages the kind of reviews that keep your calendar full.

Our room by room guide to the perfect changeover

Consistency is the key to success in the holiday let market. To achieve this, we have developed a detailed and systematic approach to cleaning every area of your property. This ensures that no matter which member of our team is on site, the standard remains flawlessly high.

The welcoming first impression, living areas and hallways

The moment a guest opens the front door, their holiday begins. We make sure that first impression is a fantastic one. All carpets and rugs are thoroughly vacuumed, and hard floors are mopped clean. We dust all surfaces, including skirting boards, window sills, picture frames, and light fittings. We pay special attention to soft furnishings, plumping up cushions and straightening throws to make the space look inviting and comfortable. All glass surfaces, like coffee tables and mirrors, are polished to a streak free shine. We also perform a final check for any items left behind by previous guests and ensure everything is tidy and perfectly staged.

The hotel standard bedroom

A restful night's sleep is a cornerstone of a good holiday, and that starts with a pristine bedroom. We strip all used bedding and towels, preparing them for laundering. We then meticulously clean the entire room, dusting all furniture, including inside any wardrobes or drawers. The bed itself is our focal point. We remake it with fresh, crisp linen, ensuring it is neat, tidy, and professionally presented, creating an irresistible invitation to relax.

The spotless, hygienic bathroom

Nowhere is cleanliness more scrutinised than in the bathroom. This room must be sanitised from top to bottom. We deep clean the shower, scrubbing tiles, grout, and the shower screen to remove any soap scum or limescale. The toilet and sink are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. All taps, chrome fittings, and mirrors are polished until they gleam. We ensure the floor is spotless, the extractor fan is dust free, and we finish by neatly arranging fresh towels and restocking essential toiletries like toilet paper and hand soap, ready for the new arrivals.

The fully equipped, clean kitchen

Many guests choose a holiday let for the convenience of a kitchen, so it must be impeccably clean and ready to use. We clean and sanitise all worktops and surfaces. We empty the fridge and freezer, wiping them down inside and out. The oven hob is cleaned, and we clean the inside of the microwave to remove any food splatters. We wash any dishes left behind, and load and run the dishwasher if necessary. We also check and wipe inside cupboards, ensuring they are clean for guests to store their food. Finally, we restock basic supplies like tea, coffee, and sugar, and ensure the bin is empty with a fresh liner in place.

Your reliable changeover partner in the Cotswolds

Our service extends beyond just cleaning. We aim to be a trusted partner in the smooth running of your holiday let business. We understand that for back to back bookings, reliability is not just important, it is essential. A missed or delayed clean can lead to cancelled bookings and a damaged reputation. We pride ourselves on our punctuality and our proactive communication.

As your eyes and ears on the ground, we can also provide an invaluable service by performing a quick condition check of your property during each changeover. If we notice any maintenance issues, like a dripping tap or a blown lightbulb, we will let you know immediately. We can also report any damage that may have occurred, providing you with the information you need to make a claim against a security deposit if necessary. This partnership approach gives you peace of mind, especially if you manage your property from a distance. We can also manage your laundry, either using your own machines on site or by coordinating with a local professional linen service on your behalf. We can ensure a constant supply of fresh, high quality linen is always ready for your guests.

The level of detail and the objective are completely different. A domestic clean is about maintaining a home.

Yes, we provide everything. Our team arrives with all the professional grade, eco friendly cleaning products and equipment needed to complete the job to a high standard, including vacuums and cloths. You do not need to supply anything.
Our standard changeover price assumes a reasonable level of cleanliness from the departing guest. In the rare event a property is left excessively dirty, we would contact you immediately before starting any work to discuss the situation and agree on any additional time that may be required.
Yes, we can. We can include a sweep of the patio area and a clean of the barbecue as part of your custom cleaning plan. Just let us know your requirements when you request a quote and we can build it into the service.
