Questions you can ask

Do you currently clean any airbnbs?

What kind of properties do you usually clean?

Do you use whatsapp?

Are you good with taking photos and videos?

How do you charge? **rule of thumb is that a 1 bedroom takes 1.5 hours, 2 bedroom takes 2-2.5hrs, 3 bedroom takes 3-3.5 hours

****You should explain the entire cleaning process to the cleaner to set the right expectations. E.g) Beginning of the clean we need you to take 10-15 minutes to look for damages and send us photos and videos. After that, you can start cleaning, usually suggest ripping bedsheets and linens and put them in the wash. We’ll have spare bedsheets and linens so that you can put new ones on the beds right away. Put dishes in the dishwasher. Vacuum/sweep all the floors, mop the floors, clean bathrooms. At the end of the clean we want photos of each room to ensure everything is put back to place, a video would be great as well!
