There's this myth in the Airbnb & holiday let cleaning world that says:
the full cleaning fee goes to the cleaner.
It doesn't. In reality, the fee also covers
cleaning products,
laundry,
travel,
supplies,
restocking,
inspections,
equipment,
insurance,
administration and
management costs.
The cleaner usually receives only part of the total fee.
There is much more behind a holiday-let turnaround than the cleaning itself. The price covers EVERYTHING required to deliver a reliable, guest-ready property.
