What's your cleaning algorithm

1

Hello I am Panos and I am a new host for 1,5 months now.(both airbnb and booking).

I wanted to hear about your cleaning algorithms meaning when you clean between guests
what steps do you take to deliver the listing to the next guests and maybe more importantly whats the order of those steps, the optimal order?
The one I am currently doing is:

  1. Take the used linens out
  2. clean the kitchen counter
  3. clean bathroom (toilet bathtub and sink)
  4. wipe dust and stamps of the coffee table and the nightstands
  5. dust off light switches, the tv, the thermostats and any other surface that might accumulate dust.
  6. vaccuuming the floor
  7. place the new linens
  8. clean any windows or mirrors that need cleaning
  9. mopping the floor
  10. sweep the external area

Lint roller the furniture and throw pillows (the hair I get off of them is crazy.)

Throw blanket on back of couch goes in the dyer on air to fluff and remove hair.

Wipe down head boards.

Look under cushions for food crumbs and other items.

Check under beds and in drawers for random left items.

Clean microwave (run glass turntable plate through dishwasher with other dirty dishes)

Check light bulbs to make sure they aren’t burnt out.

Re-stock bathroom supplies (extra TP, Tissue, soap)

Re-stock coffee, creamers, sugars, tea etc.

Re-stock kitchen supplies (napkins, soap, paper towels, foil, Saran, salt/pepper etc)

And I’m sure much, much more. I’m a bit OCD. LOL!

Step one, put the kettle on
Step two, open all the windows
Step three, switch to auto pilot and wizz around singing stupid songs.
