📢 Today I need to say this.
Some of the comments on our last Airbnb post were cruel beyond belief. No one should ever be told to harm themselves over opinions about cleaning. That's not okay, ever.

But despite that hate, today reminded me why I do this job. Our teams came back to the unit and we laughed so hard (killed my chest), played pranks, and just felt like family. Squeaky Clean is full of love, hard work, and people who care. And that's what I'm choosing to carry forward.
To everyone who's shown kindness, thank you. It matters more than you know.

(Sorry I don’t have pictures of everyone it turns out 🫣 but here are some I could find… I will take some on Friday 🤣)

🏡 WELL… OUR LAST AIRBNB POST CERTAINLY CAUSED A STIR! 😂🧹

What a lively debate that turned into! Some fantastic comments, some completely missing the point, and our personal favourite… people claiming the photos were AI-generated! 🤣 We wish!

What surprised us most was how divided the opinions were. There seemed to be very little middle ground!

So, just to clear a few things up…

🧹 We do NOT expect holidaymakers to clean their accommodation! That's our job, and we take pride in doing it!

🗑️ If bins are overflowing, simply take the rubbish to the outside bins.

🍽️ Load the dishwasher and pop it on. Don't leave a week's worth of dried-on food for someone else to tackle.

🛏️ Strip the beds? AMAZING if you do, but absolutely NOT expected!

❤️ To the wonderful who respect the properties and appreciate the work cleaners do, THANK YOU! There are plenty of you, and we certainly don't overlook that.

What was disappointing was seeing comments suggesting cleaners should simply shut up and clean whatever mess is left because they're being paid.

Being paid to clean doesn't mean basic respect should go out of the window.

We're proud of our hardworking team and the service we provide. All we're asking for is a little consideration.

And to those convinced our photos were AI… you're welcome to join us on a Saturday changeover! 😂🧽

🚨 WELL,THAT DIDN’T TAKE LONG, DID IT?! 🚨

Airbnb's new cleaning rules are already having an impact, and unfortunately, it's our cleaners who are paying the price! 😡🗑️

Today, every one of our Airbnb properties attended had overflowing bins, rubbish left behind and recycling that hadn't been emptied.

And quite frankly, it's DISGUSTING and INEXCUSABLE!

We recently spoke out about Airbnb's announcement regarding guests no longer being expected to complete certain cleaning tasks before checking out, and already we're seeing what happens when guests take that as a green light to leave everything for someone else.

Let's get one thing straight. CLEANERS ARE NOT SLAVES!

There is absolutely NO reason why guests cannot empty their bins before leaving a holiday property. It's a simple task that takes a couple of minutes. It's basic respect for the property, its owners and the hardworking people coming in after you.

🏡 And here's something worth thinking about…

I (Charlie) have just returned from a holiday home myself this morning.

Before leaving, I made sure every bin was emptied, rubbish was disposed of properly, and I even stripped the beds to help the cleaning team coming in after us.

Why?

Because I KNOW how much work goes into a same-day changeover!

Our cleaners have just a few hours to completely turn a property around, often working against the clock to ensure the next family arrives to a beautifully clean holiday home.

And here's what some guests don't seem to understand…

💷 MORE WORK = MORE TIME = HIGHER CLEANING COSTS!

When cleaners have to spend additional time clearing overflowing bins, sorting rubbish, washing up and dealing with things that could easily have been done by guests, that time has to be paid for.

Holiday home owners cannot be expected to absorb these additional costs indefinitely.

So what happens?

➡️ Cleaning bills increase.
➡️ Holiday home owners have higher running costs.
➡️ Accommodation prices go up.
➡️ And then people complain that holiday homes are becoming too expensive!

Can you see the problem?!

It's a vicious circle, and ultimately, the responsible guests who leave properties respectfully will end up paying more because of those who can't be bothered.

We're not asking guests to scrub bathrooms, mop floors or deep-clean a property before leaving. That's OUR job, and we take pride in doing it.

But emptying your rubbish and showing a little consideration for the people coming in after you?

Surely that's just common decency?!

Our cleaning teams work incredibly hard, particularly during busy changeover days. They deserve respect, not to be treated as though every bit of mess is now their responsibility simply because someone has paid to stay somewhere.

📸 These photos were taken at properties our teams attended TODAY.

And if this is already happening, I dread to think what the coming months will bring.

Airbnb, you've opened a can of worms here, and it's cleaners and holiday home owners who will be left dealing with the consequences.

👏 To the guests who leave properties respectfully, THANK YOU. You probably don't realise how much those small gestures mean to the cleaning teams.

A holiday is a break from everyday life, not a break from basic manners!

🚨 AIRBNB'S NEW CLEANING RULES – ARE THEY REALLY FAIR ON HOLIDAY HOME OWNERS? 🚨

As a professional cleaning company looking after numerous holiday homes, we have to say we find Airbnb's new approach to cleaning expectations absolutely ridiculous!

While we completely agree that guests shouldn't be expected to carry out a full clean before leaving a property, there is a HUGE difference between cleaning a holiday home and leaving it in a disgusting state!

These changes risk giving guests the green light to leave properties in whatever condition they like, knowing someone else will have to deal with the mess.

🧽 Imagine this...

Guests stay for a week, leave every plate, cup, pan and piece of cutlery covered in dried-on food, rubbish everywhere, food spills and a kitchen that hasn't been touched for seven days.

Who is expected to deal with all of that? The cleaners!

And who is going to pay for the additional hours needed to bring that property back up to standard? The holiday home owner!

Holiday home owners already pay thousands of pounds every year in cleaning costs. Now they could potentially face even higher bills because cleaners are having to spend additional time dealing with mess that could easily have been avoided with a little basic respect.

⏰ Let's not forget the turnaround times!

Our cleaning teams often have just a few hours between guests checking out and the next guests arriving.

We have beds to strip and remake, bathrooms to sanitise, kitchens to deep clean, floors to wash and properties to prepare to a professional standard.

Adding hours of washing up and unnecessary mess into that already tight window simply isn't realistic.

Cleaners are professionals, not miracle workers!

We genuinely believe holiday home owners should now be looking more closely at alternative holiday letting agencies that offer clearer expectations and better protection for their properties.

Airbnb needs to remember that without property owners, there would be no properties for guests to book!

At Squeaky Clean, we will always work hard to deliver the highest standards for our customers, but additional cleaning takes additional time, and that time has a cost.

There needs to be a fair balance between guests enjoying their holiday and respecting somebody else's property.

What do other holiday home owners and cleaning companies think about these changes?
