Your checkout instructions shouldn’t replace your cleaning team.
Asking guests to load the dishwasher, remove their belongings, turn things off, and lock the door can be reasonable.
Asking them to wash linens, vacuum floors, sanitize surfaces, or prepare the property for the next reservation is different.
Those tasks belong in the professional turnover.
Before publishing checkout instructions, ask:
- Were these expectations disclosed before booking?
- Can they be completed in a few minutes?
- Are we protecting the property or transferring cleaning labor?
- Does the cleaning fee match what we’re asking guests to do?
At Luxify, we believe checkout should be simple, transparent, and respectful of the guest’s time.
Guests should leave the property responsibly not clean it for the next arrival.
