Hotel-grade clean, every single turnover.

Vetted Vancouver cleaning partners, hotel-grade standard operating procedures, and a photo audit after every single turnover. Cleanliness is the strongest single predictor of your overall rating — so we treat it like the revenue driver it is.

What it is

The difference between "fine" and "spotless" — managed for you.

We coordinate vetted cleaning partners between every stay, working from hotel-grade checklists tailored to your specific unit. After each turnover, the cleaner submits time-stamped photos that our team audits before the next guest arrives. Linens, bathrooms, kitchen, surfaces, restocking — nothing is left to "probably fine."

Of the six things Airbnb asks guests to rate, cleanliness correlates with the overall star rating more strongly than any other. A spotless turnover isn't hospitality theatre — it's the highest-leverage thing you can do for your rating.
How it works

A custom SOP, audited every single time.

1

Custom SOP per unit

During onboarding we build a property-specific cleaning checklist — your layout, your appliances, your linen sets, your quirks — so every cleaner works to the same standard regardless of who's assigned.

2

Auto-scheduled at checkout

The moment a checkout is confirmed, the turnover is scheduled with a vetted cleaner, timed to the gap before the next check-in. No coordination on your end.

3

Photo audit submitted

After cleaning, the cleaner uploads time-stamped photos of every key area. Our team reviews them against the SOP before the unit is released for the next guest.

4

Issues flagged & fixed

If the audit catches anything — a missed spot, a stain, low supplies — we dispatch a fix before check-in and log it. Recurring issues feed back into the SOP.

Value to your bottom line

Your highest-leverage rating driver, managed end to end.

#1

Rating driver, handled

Cleanliness moves your overall rating more than any other factor. Photo-audited turnovers keep your cleanliness subscore at or near 5.0 — which lifts everything else.

Cleaning logistics for you

You never book a cleaner, chase a no-show, or inspect a turnover. We manage scheduling, quality, and supply replenishment end to end.

Turnovers audited

Every single turnover is photo-documented and reviewed — so a missed spot gets caught by us, not by a guest in a review.

And to your guests

Spotless arrival → instant trust → a top cleanliness subscore → higher overall rating.

Cleanliness is the subscore guests rate most honestly — and the one that moves your whole listing the most.

1

Spotless arrival

The guest walks into a hotel-clean space — fresh linens, gleaming bathroom, nothing from the last guest anywhere.

→
2

Instant trust

A spotless unit signals that the whole operation is careful. The guest relaxes and treats the space with the same respect.

→
3

Cleanliness 5★

"Cleanliness" is the subscore guests rate most honestly and most harshly. A photo-audited turnover earns the 5 reliably.

→
4

Top subscore → higher overall rating → higher rate

Because cleanliness drives the overall rating more than anything else, nailing it lifts your whole listing — and what it can charge.

TIGHT TURNAROUNDS

Same-day checkout-to-checkin in peak season

In Vancouver's May–October peak, popular units often have a same-day turnover — checkout at 11am, check-in at 4pm. A five-hour window leaves no room for a no-show or a sloppy clean. Our vetted partner network and photo audit keep tight turnarounds reliable.

CLEANER SUPPLY

A vetted Vancouver partner network

Good STR cleaners are in high demand across Metro Vancouver. Because we manage volume across 40+ properties, we maintain relationships with vetted partners and backups — so you're never stuck when your usual cleaner is sick or booked.

WEST COAST STANDARDS

What Vancouver guests expect

Vancouver guests — many of them well-travelled and design-conscious — hold high cleanliness standards. The bar here is hotel-grade, not "tidied up." Our SOPs are written to that bar, with the photo audit to enforce it.
