How much does Airbnb cleaning cost in 2026?
Across the U.S., most Airbnb and short-term rental cleaning fees fall between $50 and $300 per turnover. The exact number comes down to five things: the number of bedrooms, the number of bathrooms, the square footage, the add-ons your property needs (laundry, pet cleaning, smoke removal, hot tubs), and the local market you operate in. A cleaning fee is the one-time charge a host sets to cover turnover between guests — Airbnb explains how cleaning fees work here. The calculator above combines all five factors into a defensible range with a typical midpoint, so you can price with confidence whether you’re an owner, a co-host, a property manager, or a cleaning company writing a quote. In Central Florida, our professional Airbnb cleaning service handles that turnover for hundreds of vacation homes.

| Property size | Typical sq ft | Orlando cleaning fee |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1 bedroom | 400–700 | $60 – $95 |
| 2 bedroom | 800–1,200 | $95 – $140 |
| 3 bedroom | 1,200–1,800 | $120 – $175 |

| 6–8 bedroom resort home | 3,000–4,500 | $230 – $400+ |
What drives the price up or down
Bedrooms & bathrooms
Bedrooms drive linen changes and staging time; bathrooms are the most labor-intensive rooms to sanitize. Together they’re the biggest factor in any turnover quote, which is why both have their own slider above.
Square footage
More floor area means more vacuuming, mopping and dusting even when bedroom count stays the same. A sprawling single-story home can take longer than a compact two-story with the same number of rooms.
Add-ons
Laundry of linens and towels, pet hair removal, smoke or odor treatment, hot-tub and pool-deck care, restocking consumables, and same-day rush turns are billed on top of the base clean. Toggle them above to see the impact.
Your market
Labor and demand vary widely across Florida. Orlando, Kissimmee, Davenport and Champions Gate sit at the competitive baseline thanks to the huge volume of vacation homes near Disney and Universal. Miami, the Keys, Naples and the Panhandle beaches typically run 15–30% higher. See the full list of Florida markets we serve to find your area.
How much should I charge to clean an Airbnb?
If you’re the one doing the cleaning, build your price to cover four costs — labor, supplies, drive time, and laundry — then add a margin. A reliable formula is a flat base (trip + supplies) plus a per-bedroom and per-bathroom rate, adjusted for square footage and any add-ons. That’s exactly the model behind the calculator, so the midpoint it shows is a solid, profitable starting quote for most Florida properties. Airbnb’s own guide to cleaning fees is a useful cross-check, and cleaners who want steady turnover work can partner with Vacation Home Help.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Airbnb cleaning cost?
Most Airbnb cleaning fees fall between $50 and $300 per turnover. In Orlando a 1-bedroom runs about $60–$95, a 3-bedroom about $120–$175, and a 5+ bedroom vacation home $200–$400+, before add-ons.
How much should I charge to clean an Airbnb?
Cover labor, supplies, drive time and laundry, then add a margin. Use a base trip fee plus per-bedroom and per-bathroom rates adjusted for square footage and add-ons — the midpoint from the calculator above is a strong starting quote.
Why are Airbnb cleaning fees so high?
Turnover cleaning is far more than a regular house clean: stripping and laundering all linens, sanitizing to hotel standard, restocking, staging and damage inspection — all in a tight same-day window between guests.
Does the cleaning fee include laundry?
It varies. On-site laundry is sometimes included; off-site linen and towel laundry is usually an add-on of roughly $20–$40 per turnover. Always confirm before booking.
How much does Airbnb cleaning cost in Orlando?
Orlando-area cleaning (including Kissimmee, Davenport and Champions Gate) ranges from about $60 for a 1-bedroom condo to $400+ for a large 8-bedroom resort home before add-ons. High vacation-home volume keeps Orlando competitive versus South Florida.
Do guests or hosts pay the cleaning fee?
Guests pay the cleaning fee as a separate line item at booking; the host sets the amount and pays the cleaner. Setting it accurately — not too high, not too low — protects both your margin and your booking conversion. Note that in Florida a separately stated cleaning fee is taxable: it counts toward the county tourist development tax (see our Florida tourist development tax guide).
