Turnover Checklist Builder

A generic cleaning checklist misses the things that cause bad reviews at your property: the hot tub chemistry, the grill grease, the pet hair on the sofa. Enter your bedrooms, bathrooms and amenities and this builder produces a room-by-room turnover checklist with restocking, damage checks and the photos to send back. Print it for the cleaner, copy it into your cleaning app, or use it to brief a new team.

  • Room by room
  • Amenity-specific steps
  • Restock & damage checks
  • Printable

Build your turnover checklist

Set it up once per property, then edit the result for your cleaner.

How it works

The checklist is built from blocks: a start-up routine, one section per bedroom and bathroom, living areas, then amenity sections only for the amenities you tick, followed by restock, damage checks, lost and found, photos and a finish routine. Bracketed items like [TARGET RANGES] are for you to fill in with your property’s specifics.

Getting cleaners to use it

  • Walk through it once with your cleaner and cut anything that doesn’t apply.
  • Ask for photos, not ticks. A photo of each made bed is easier to check remotely than a checklist.
  • Separate cleaning from inspection if you can. A quick second look catches what a rushed turnover misses.

Turnovers checked, not just cleaned

Thrive Hosts coordinates cleaners, reviews turnover photos and handles restocking and maintenance follow-up for the properties we co-host.

Checklists are a starting point. Follow manufacturer guidance and local health and safety requirements, especially for pools and hot tubs.
