Turnovers between guests in Krakow
In short-stay rental, cleaning is not an occasional job — it is a step that repeats after every
booking, inside a window of a few hours, to a standard that has to look identical every time.
A guest does not review the average of your flat over a year. They review the state it was in when
they opened the door.
What a turnover includes
- Full clean of every room and all floors
- Fresh bed linen and towels
- Bathroom — shower or bath, toilet, basin, mirror, taps
- Kitchen — worktops, sink, hob, microwave, fridge emptied and wiped out
- Dishwasher emptied and restarted if guests left dishes
- Rubbish removed and sorted to the building's rules
- Restocking — paper, toiletries, coffee, capsules, bin bags
- Airing the flat and checking for anything guests left behind
The time window
The standard turnover happens between 11:00 and 15:00 — check-out to check-in.
Where your window is tighter, say so when booking and the schedule is built around it rather than
around our route. In peak season we plan several flats in a day so that all of them are ready
before arrival time, not just the first.
What you get after every visit
A completion notice, and where something is wrong, a photo report: damage, missing equipment,
a guest who left the flat in a state worth documenting. That material is what you attach when you
raise it with the booking platform — which is much easier than describing it from memory two days
later.
Linen
Above roughly two changes a week, washing inside the flat stops working: the machine occupies
exactly the window the cleaning needs, and ironing is the slowest part of all. The practical
minimum is two sets per bed, three if you turn over every other day. Pickup and delivery is a
separate service —
bed linen and towel laundry.
Small repairs between guests
The same things break on rotation: a handle, the toilet flush, a lock, a blown bulb, a loose shelf.
Rather than finding somebody at short notice, a
handyman can be attached to the same visit.
Krakow specifics
Most short-stay flats sit in the Old Town and Kazimierz — old tenements, often without a lift, in
the restricted traffic zone. That affects access and parking rather than the cleaning itself, but
it has to be planned, not discovered on the day. Season runs May to September with holidays and
long weekends on top; outside it is the right moment for a
deep clean.
Keys
A key safe or a code lock is the arrangement that actually scales, particularly if you do not live
in Krakow. It removes the handover from the critical path entirely — nobody waits for anybody.
Frequently asked questions
Do you take last-minute bookings?
Yes when there is a slot. With ongoing cooperation we reserve fixed windows instead.
Can you handle several flats at once?
Yes, including when check-outs fall on the same day.
Who provides linen and consumables?
Cleaning products and equipment are ours. Linen, towels and guest supplies stay yours — we wash,
restock and rotate them.
What about cleaning after a party?
That is a separate, larger job. We document the state first so you have grounds for a claim, then
quote it.
How is it billed?
Per turnover, with an invoice. Volume and a fixed schedule are agreed for ongoing work.
Do you also clean aparthotels?
Yes — see hotel cleaning
for whole-property housekeeping.
