For every Airbnb owner in Athens, cleaning is not just a "must" between two bookings — it is one of the most decisive factors for reviews, for the reputation of the listing and ultimately for revenue itself. A guest who finds the property clean and well cared for leaves a good review; one who doesn't will almost certainly mention it. If you are looking for an Airbnb cleaning team, or professional cleaning for your property in Athens in general, this guide shows you exactly what to expect.
What a full turnover clean includes
Cleaning between two bookings ("turnover cleaning") is different from ordinary house cleaning — it is done under time pressure, usually between check-out and check-in, and has to cover:
- Full cleaning of the kitchen, bathroom and all living areas
- Changing and refreshing linen (sheets, towels, pillowcases)
- Checking for damage or missing items before the next arrival
- Restocking basics (toilet paper, soap, bin bags)
- Final "staging" — the space looks ready for a photo shoot, not just clean
Bedroom before and after cleaning and bed making.
How often is cleaning needed?
The answer is simple: after every departure, before every arrival — no exceptions. In high season, when bookings follow one another on the same day, the time between check-out and check-in can be just 2–3 hours. That takes coordination, not luck — a professional team knows how to work within that window without sacrificing quality.
Practical tip: if you manage the property yourself, always keep a buffer of at least 1–2 hours between same-day bookings. If demand makes that impossible, a professional team that works to a schedule is practically essential.
How much does Airbnb cleaning cost?
There is no single figure — the cost depends on the size of the property, how often it is booked, the condition it is left in and whether extra care is needed (e.g. linen, restocking supplies). At MaClean we don't work with a one-size-fits-all price list — each property is assessed individually, so that the quote genuinely reflects what it needs.
Why choose a professional cleaning team
Besides the time you save, a professional team brings consistency — the same standard of cleaning every time, however busy your week is. That consistency is exactly what shows up in your reviews over time.
