Cleaning and Linen
At Stay in London, we provide specialist Airbnb cleaning services in London designed specifically for short-term rental properties. Unlike standard domestic cleaners, our teams are trained for high-frequency turnover cleaning, same-day changeovers, and hospitality-level presentation. Whether you manage a single Airbnb flat or a portfolio of holiday lets across London, our cleaning service ensures your property is guest-ready — every time.
Short-let properties operate at a completely different standard compared to residential homes.
Each turnover requires:
- Full sanitisation of high-touch surfaces
- Hotel-standard bed making
- Amenity restocking
- Linen replacement
- Damage and maintenance checks
- Staging for listing photos
Our cleaners understand that presentation directly impacts your guest reviews, Superhost status, and nightly rates.
We don’t just clean — we prepare your property for a 5-star guest experience.
