Updated November 2026 US, UK, Canada and Australia Free calculator
A turnover clean is not a house clean with a different name. You work against a check-in time, make every bed to hotel standard, restock, check for damage and report back to the host, and one hair left in the shower ends up in a public review. New cleaners who charge their normal house-cleaning price for this find out quickly why hosts were so keen to book them.
For $95–$140 you can turn over a typical two-bedroom, one-bathroom rental in the US and be priced like working turnover cleaners. In the UK the same job runs £50–£85, in Canada C$105–C$180 and in Australia A$110–A$180, before laundry and restocking. The rest of this guide shows what moves that price and what to charge for the extras.
Set the job details to get a price to quote, then check what that price leaves you per hour once driving, supplies and tax are counted.

Prices are per turnover in local currency, from a fair budget price to an established operator in a higher-cost area.
United States: Big-city markets such as New York, San Francisco and Miami run 20% to 30% above national averages, and rural cabin markets sit at the low end. The median cleaning fee hosts charged guests in 2025 was about $75 for a one-bedroom listing and $150 for a three-bedroom, which tells you roughly what a host can pass on.
United Kingdom: The job is usually called a changeover, and in holiday-let areas such as Cornwall, the Lakes and the Highlands most of them fall on Fridays and Saturdays. The average cleaning fee UK hosts charge guests is about £55, so quotes far above that for a small flat meet resistance. Linen hire is common and is billed separately.
Canada: Published prices vary more here than anywhere else: large cleaning companies list C$270 or more for a one-bedroom turnover with their Airbnb package, while Toronto hosts charge guests about C$85 for a two-bedroom. Independent cleaners sit between the two, which is where this calculator is set.
Australia: Many hosts hire linen instead of washing it on site. In New South Wales a linen service costs about A$40 to A$65 per changeover for a two-bedroom property, so be clear whether your price covers laundry, linen drop-off or neither.
Method
Ways to price Airbnb cleaning
01Flat price per turnover
The standard, and the only model most hosts will accept. The host needs a fixed number to set the guest cleaning fee, and you need a price that does not change when a turnover runs smoothly. Set it per property after a walk-through, not from a general price list.
02Flat price plus priced extras
A base turnover price, with laundry, restocking and heavy-mess charges listed separately. This keeps the headline price competitive and makes sure you are paid when guests leave the place in a state. It is how the calculator on this page works.
03Hourly
Only for the first clean of a new listing, for deep cleans and for clearing up after a party. Hosts dislike hourly billing for normal turnovers because they cannot predict their costs, so move to a flat price once you have timed the property twice.
04Per-property rate for multiple listings
A host or co-host with several units in one building can give you three or four turnovers in a morning with no driving in between. A discount of 5% to 10% per turnover is fair in exchange for that volume, as long as they commit to using you for every changeover.
Price factors
What changes the price
01Beds, not floor area
Stripping and making a bed properly takes ten to fifteen minutes, and a rental that sleeps eight has four or five of them. Count the beds that are used on a full booking, including sofa beds, and price on that. A large open-plan one-bedroom is a quicker job than a small three-bedroom.
02The check-out to check-in window
Most turnovers have to happen between a late-morning checkout and a mid-afternoon check-in. You cannot run late, and you cannot stack many jobs into that window alone. Two or three turnovers is a full day, so each one has to carry more of your day than a house clean does.
03Laundry
A wash and dry cycle takes longer than the clean. If you launder on site with one set of linen, you are waiting on a dryer. Ask the host to keep two or three sets per bed so you can remake straight away, and charge separately for washing on site or taking linen away.
04What guests leave behind
For reservations booked from 20 November 2026, Airbnb no longer lets hosts ask guests to strip beds, wash and put away dishes, start a wash or take trash off the property. That work now falls to the cleaner on every turnover. Time a few jobs under the new rules and reprice any property where dishes and rubbish were previously left to the guest.
05Restocking, staging and reporting
Refilling soap, toilet paper and coffee, resetting cushions and throws to match the listing photos, checking for damage and missing items, and sending the host photos are all part of the job. They add fifteen to thirty minutes that a house clean does not have. Price them in.
06Short notice and heavy checkouts
A same-day booking pushes out other work, so add about a quarter. A turnover after a large group, a long stay or a party can take half as long again, and you only find out when you open the door. Agree a heavy-mess surcharge with the host in advance, backed by photos.
07Volume and access
Five units in one building are worth far more per hour than five cabins spread along a lake. Lockboxes and smart locks save time, and so does parking at the door when you are carrying linen bags. Quote higher for third-floor walk-ups and remote properties.

United States
Three-bedroom cabin with laundry on site
A three-bedroom, two-bathroom cabin that sleeps eight. Checkout is 10 am, check-in is 4 pm, and the host wants all linen washed, dried and put back on the beds.
Start the first wash before you clean anything. On a job like this the dryer sets your finish time, so ask the host for a second set of linen and you get an hour of your day back.

Beach house after a group of ten
A four-bedroom, three-bathroom beach house after a week-long stay by a large group. Sand through every room, a full bin store and a barbecue left dirty. The host also wants consumables restocked.
This is about seven hours of work, so it takes two people to finish before a same-day check-in. Send the host photos before you start and bill the agreed heavy-checkout rate.

Your costs
What it costs you to do the work
Turnover cleaning uses the same kit as house cleaning. The extra costs are consumables you supply for the host, and spare linen if you offer a linen service.

Pricing mistakes that cost beginners money
Charging your house-cleaning price
A turnover has beds to make, laundry to manage, stock to check, a deadline and a report to send. It also falls in the middle of the day, where it blocks other work. Price it per turnover on its own terms.
Doing the laundry for nothing
Washing, drying and remaking linen adds real time and often keeps you on site after the clean is done. Charge for it per turnover, or tell the host you do not do it and suggest a linen service.
No terms for short notice and late checkouts
A guest who leaves two hours late eats your whole window. Agree in writing what happens when checkout runs late, what a same-day booking costs, and how much notice the host must give to cancel.
No photos
Take dated photos of every room when you arrive and when you leave. They settle damage claims, prove the place was guest-ready, and justify a heavy-mess charge. Without them it is your word against a guest's.
Relying on one host
Bookings are seasonal, and a host can sell up, switch to long lets or hire a management company overnight. Spread your turnovers across several hosts, and keep some regular house or office cleaning for the quiet months.
Never charging for a deep clean
Turnovers keep a rental presentable, not deep-cleaned. Ovens, grout, under beds and inside cupboards slip a little every stay. Book a paid deep clean every two to three months at roughly one and a half times the turnover price.
Questions
Common questions about Airbnb cleaning prices
How much should I charge to clean an Airbnb?
For a two-bedroom, one-bathroom rental, charge $95–$140 per turnover in the US, £50–£85 in the UK, C$105–C$180 in Canada and A$110–A$180 in Australia. Add for extra bathrooms, laundry, restocking and short-notice jobs.
How much should I charge per hour for Airbnb cleaning?
Turnover cleaners work out at about $30–$60 an hour in the US, £15–£28 in the UK, C$32–C$60 in Canada and A$40–A$75 in Australia. Quote the host a flat price per turnover and use the hourly figure only to check that the job pays.
How long does an Airbnb turnover take?
One person needs under two hours for a studio or one-bedroom, two to three hours for two or three bedrooms, and half a day or more for a large house. Laundry on site can add an hour of waiting unless there is spare linen.
Should laundry be included in my price?
Price it separately. Washing and remaking linen on site is commonly charged per turnover or per load, around $7 to $22 a load in the US and £10 to £20 a load in the UK. If the host uses a linen hire service, you only strip and remake the beds, which is part of the base price.
How does my price relate to the guest cleaning fee?
Most hosts set the guest cleaning fee close to what the turnover costs them. If your quote is far above the fees on similar local listings, the host has to cover the gap from the nightly rate and will shop around. If it is far below, you are undercharging.
How much extra should I charge for a same-day turnover?
About a quarter more for a booking made with less than 24 hours' notice. Some cleaners charge up to half as much again for emergencies. A normal turnover that happens between checkout and check-in on the same day is the standard job and is not a surcharge.
How often does a short-term rental need a deep clean?
Every 60 to 90 days, or after a long stay or a busy season. Charge 40% to 60% more than your normal turnover price, and book it for a day when the calendar is blocked so you are not racing a check-in.
What does the Airbnb checkout chores rule change mean for cleaners?
For reservations booked from 20 November 2026, hosts cannot ask guests to strip beds, wash dishes, start laundry or take trash off the property. Expect dishes in the sink and full bins on more turnovers, and adjust your price for any property where guests used to do those jobs.
