A smooth, spotless start for a new Airbnb host with HD Cleaning Ltd

At HD Cleaning Ltd, we understand the pressure that comes with preparing a property for Airbnb guests especially when it’s a host’s first-ever booking. This case study takes a closer look at our first Airbnb cleaning project in Wimbledon, where our experienced team transformed a well-maintained home into a five-star-ready space in less than one hour.

We were thrilled to be entrusted with the very first clean for a brand-new client, and even more pleased to deliver impeccable results in record time.

Project Overview

Client Type: New Airbnb Host Location: Wimbledon, South-West LondonService Required: Full Airbnb Turnaround Clean (Light clean with linen service) Duration: Less than 60 minutes Team Size: 3 Cleaners

The property was already in good general condition and required a light cleaning before welcoming its first guests. The main focus was on refreshing the space, replacing linens, and ensuring the entire house was presented to the highest possible standard.

Bedroom Refresh: Clean Linens and Crisp Presentation

Our work began in the bedrooms. The client had requested a full linen service, and we replaced the used bedding with freshly laundered sheets and towels. The beds were dressed with care to give a neat, inviting hotel-style look.

We also vacuumed the carpeted floors, dusted surfaces, and left each room clean, calm, and ready for guests to relax in.

Hallway and Stairs: Keeping High-Traffic Areas Spotless

Carpeted staircases and upper hallways often show wear quickly in rental properties. We ensured that these areas were thoroughly hoovered and free of dust or visible markings. A clean staircase makes a strong first impression and signals that the home is well looked after.

Kitchen: Hygienic, Organised and Ready for Use

The kitchen is always a priority in Airbnb cleaning, especially when guests expect a hygienic, functional space. We wiped down all countertops, cupboards, and appliances, polished the splashback, and cleared any traces of food or crumbs.

The floor, which had a rustic wooden finish, was swept and mopped, and the bin area was sanitised. Small touches like ensuring all crockery was stacked neatly and tea/coffee items were arranged enhanced the guest experience.

Bathrooms: A Hotel-Standard Shine

We deep-cleaned both bathrooms, ensuring all surfaces were sanitised and sparkling. Key attention areas included:

Toilet, bath and sink sanitisation
Polishing of taps, mirrors, and chrome fittings
Cleaning of tiled walls and floors
Presentation touches (towel folding, restocking toilet paper)

Clean, fresh-smelling bathrooms play a key role in positive Airbnb reviews, and our hospitality-grade detailing helped elevate the space to guest-ready perfection.

Living and Dining Space: Polished, Dust-Free and Welcoming

The open-plan living and dining area was given a full dusting and floor clean. Furniture was wiped down, skirting boards attended to, and the floor polished to bring out its natural warmth. We ensured everything was positioned neatly and the room felt balanced and airy.

As the main communal space, this area needed to give a good impression and it certainly did.

The Result

Our team completed the full property clean including linens in just under one hour, thanks to a clear brief, excellent teamwork, and an efficiently run process. The host was delighted with the outcome and ready to welcome their first guests with confidence.
