Frequently Asked Questions
How is cleaning time estimated?
This calculator uses a rough formula based on square footage plus additional time per bedroom and bathroom, since these areas typically require the most detailed cleaning.
Why add a supplies and buffer margin?
This covers cleaning supplies, laundry costs for linens/towels, and unexpected extra time needed for larger messes or turnover between back-to-back bookings.
Should the cleaning fee be a flat rate or vary by season?
Many hosts keep it flat for simplicity, but some increase it during peak season when cleaners charge rush rates or turnovers are same-day.
