Airbnb cleaning businesses turn over short-term rentals between guest stays for hosts and property managers. Invoices usually cover turnover cleans, laundry, restocking, and extras like deep cleans or damage reports. Most work is recurring, so invoices tend to go out weekly or monthly with many small line items tied to specific properties and checkout dates.

Most Airbnb cleaners charge a flat fee per turnover, set by the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, with the price held steady for each property. Some bill hourly (often for deep cleans, first-time resets, or unusual properties), and a few use per-square-foot pricing for larger homes. Laundry is billed either as a per-load charge, a per-bed charge, or folded into the turnover fee; linen rental or off-site laundering is usually passed through at cost plus a markup. Supplies restocked for the guest (toilet paper, soap, coffee, trash bags) are typically billed at cost plus 10-20% or covered by a small flat supply fee. Same-day or last-minute bookings, hot tub care, and heavy post-party cleanups carry surcharges. Property managers with many units often negotiate volume rates, and monthly invoicing with itemized turnovers is common.

Notes: Payment due within 14 days of invoice date. Photos of any damage, stains, or missing items are attached by checkout date. Late balances over 15 days incur a 1.5% monthly fee. Thank you for your business.
Hosts and managers often own several units, and they need to match charges to the right property for their own books and owner statements.
Ties each charge to a specific booking so the host can verify it against their calendar and spot any missed or duplicate cleans.
Separating extras from the base turnover fee heads off questions and shows what drove a higher invoice.
Hosts reimbursing or deducting these costs want clear amounts, and receipts back up the charge if challenged.
Hosts may need this for guest claims through the booking platform, and it protects you from blame for pre-existing problems.
Property managers and businesses often need a W-9 and a proper invoice for their records, and they may need to issue a 1099 at year end.
With frequent small charges, clear due dates and methods keep recurring accounts from drifting into late payment.
Many Airbnb cleaners invoice weekly or monthly in arrears for recurring clients and charge a card on file after each turnover for individual hosts. Net 7 to net 14 is common; larger property managers may ask for net 30, which is worth pushing back on since you pay cleaners and buy supplies up front. A deposit or prepayment is typical for first-time deep cleans or large resets. Late fees of 1.5% per month or a flat fee are commonly stated in service agreements. Most cleaners accept ACH, card, and digital payment apps. Keep a card or ACH authorization on file for recurring accounts so payments do not depend on the host remembering.
List each checkout date and property as its own line. Hosts check these against their booking calendar, and itemized lines cut down on disputes and back-and-forth.
Take timestamped photos on arrival and departure, especially of damage, stains, and missing items. Attach them to the invoice or reference them by date so you are covered if a host disputes a guest claim.
Extra laundry loads, long stays needing mid-stay cleans, bed-count changes, and rush bookings are easy to absorb and forget. Add them as separate line items so you are paid for the real work.
Short-term rental schedules change fast. Charge a fee for cancellations under 24 hours, or for trips where you cannot get in, and list it in your agreement before it comes up.
Auto-charging after each turnover or each month avoids chasing payments and keeps your cash flow steady when you are paying cleaners weekly.
Most Airbnb cleaners use a flat fee per turnover based on bedrooms and bathrooms, because hosts want predictable costs and it rewards you for being efficient. Hourly billing works better for deep cleans, first-time resets, and properties in poor condition where the time is hard to predict.
Yes, if you set it up in your agreement. Define what counts as excessive mess (for example, post-party cleanups or pet hair beyond normal) and the surcharge or hourly rate that applies, and document the condition with photos on the invoice.
Common methods are a per-load charge, a per-bed or per-set charge, or including standard laundry in the turnover fee and billing extra loads separately. If you use a laundry service or rent linens, pass the cost through with a markup and show it as its own line.
If you pay subcontractor cleaners above the IRS threshold, you may need to collect W-9s and file 1099s. Property management companies that hire you may also ask for a W-9. Rules and thresholds change, so check current IRS guidance or ask a tax professional.
Weekly or monthly invoices that list every turnover work best. Weekly gets you paid faster and keeps the list short enough to check; monthly is less paperwork but ties up more of your money. Pick one and state it in your agreement.
