Anyone who has travelled before will definitely come across the name Air Bed and Breakfast or more commonly known as AirBnB. Many have been capitalizing on the ease for travellers to be able to book accommodations without having to spend hundreds if not thousands on traditional business hotels or cheaper lower quality of forms of hotels.
Many landlords also found an increase of revenue renting out their extra unit or even rooms to such travellers in comparison to the traditional long term rental that they collect.
This sprouted numerous property agents and landlords attempting to make a bigger buck and a new demand has been introduced. It is without a doubt that Airbnb has made it easier to connect travellers and landlords but what about the housekeeping of the unit?
Every landlord and agent knows that cleanliness of the unit has to be regularly done whenever their customer checks out and that by itself creates a whole different level of logistics issue, especially when you have multiple units at hand and during the festive or holidays period, the scale of the problem is unimaginable.
Thankfully, AirBnB cleaning services in Malaysia is becoming more of a norm and has eliminated the one headache that Airbnb service providers are facing and there are only few providers for AirBnB Cleaning services in Malaysia.
First and foremost, job scope. Many may wonder what is the scope that a typical AirBnB Cleaning service in Malaysia really entails. Unlike many other types of cleaning services, AirBnB Cleaning service is really one of its kind as it not only involves cleaning but also other scope such as stock management and many others.
To better illustrate, the table below shows what are the scope that is covered for a typical AirBnB cleaning services in Malaysia really covers.
| Replacing toiletries |  |
| Taking photos before and after the cleaning | |
| Changing of bed sheets and covers | |
| Changing of pillowcases and blankets | |
| Wiping of all surfaces | |
| Clearing of refrigerator | |
| Dispose of all rubbish | |
| Washing of bedsheets and covers | |
| Washing of pillowcases and blankets | |
| Repurchasing of consumables (rubbish bags, toiletries, etc) |  |
Based on the table above, Airbnb cleaning services do share similarities with normal routine housekeeping services but with the added photographing of the unit before and after as well as replacing toiletries.
The photography of the unit before and after is to give landlords a peace of mind and to inform cleaning has been done on that particular day, allowing for the next guests to check in.
As for refilling of toiletries, this is to be expected in most hotels and Airbnb units should share such similar traits. While Kilat Kilat do accept washing of bedsheets, covers, pillow cases and blankets, those come with additional charges and our customers are required to have a minimum 3 to 4 sets in the unit so that it is much easier to manage the dirty pieces.
We also do not help with the repurchasing of consumables as these items are subject to the requirement of the landlord to use what type of consumables for his or her customers.
For most landlords, the pricing is of most importances as most of the landlords are looking to make a positive cashflow out of the unit. As of now, we charge RM60.00 per cleaning if there is a singular unit in the building of the unit that requires our attention.
Choose a cleaning supplier that does airbnb cleaning. Kilat kilat does not provide airbnb cleaning though.
