Airbnb Cleaning in Edinburgh — Same-Day Turnovers and Linen Service
Hosts in Edinburgh rely on fast, thorough turnovers to maintain five-star reviews and keep bookings flowing. Our Edinburgh team handles every changeover from checkout to check-in — stripping beds, remaking them with fresh linen, resetting kitchens and bathrooms, restocking supplies and photographing the finished property for your records. We cover Old Town, New Town, Leith, Morningside, Stockbridge, Bruntsfield, Marchmont, Portobello and surrounding areas, working with city-centre flats, Georgian townhouses, serviced apartments across the city.
Why Hosts in Edinburgh Choose OCS
Choosing a cleaning service for your Edinburgh short-let property means trusting someone with your income stream. Late turnovers, missed tasks or inconsistent quality translate directly into bad reviews and lost bookings. Our Edinburgh team is locally based, knows the area thoroughly and understands the practicalities of operating in this city. Permit-zone parking handled, shared stair access protocols, festival-season surge capacity available. We assign dedicated teams to your property whenever possible so they learn its layout, access method and your specific preferences. That consistency means fewer mistakes and faster turnovers over time.
What Is Included in Every Turnover
Every Airbnb turnover in Edinburgh follows our standard checklist: all beds stripped and remade with fresh linen, bathrooms deep-cleaned and sanitised (including descaling taps and shower screens), kitchen surfaces, appliance fronts and sink cleaned, all floors vacuumed and mopped, surfaces dusted, bins emptied with fresh liners, mirrors and glass polished, and a final presentation check. For properties with welcome packs or minibars, we restock according to your specifications. We bring all products and equipment — you do not need to supply anything.
Linen, Laundry and Restocking
Our linen management service in Edinburgh runs alongside your turnover schedule. Used linen is collected at checkout, laundered professionally and fresh sets delivered before the next guest arrives. You can use your own linen or rent hotel-grade sets from us. Rental linen includes 200-thread-count cotton percale sheets and 500gsm towels — crisp, clean and ready to photograph for your listing. We coordinate delivery timing with your booking calendar so there is never a gap.

Submit a request through our booking form or call us directly. We confirm availability within 10 minutes during business hours and dispatch the nearest available team.

What Makes OCS Different in Edinburgh
Most cleaning companies send a team and hope for the best. We built a quality-control system that removes guesswork from every airbnb turnover — here is how it works.
Photo-Documented QA Process
Every airbnb turnover follows a room-by-room checklist. The team photographs each area on completion — beds, bathrooms, kitchen, living spaces — and uploads them to a timestamped report sent to you within 30 minutes. Our city coordinators review a random sample of reports weekly and flag any inconsistencies before you ever see them.
Emergency Response Promise
We confirm availability within 10 minutes during business hours and aim to have a team on-site within 2 to 4 hours in Edinburgh. Outside standard hours, we respond by the start of the next business day. You always know the timeline before committing — we never promise a window we cannot deliver.
Fully Insured, Vetted Teams
Every team member undergoes identity verification, reference checks and in-house training before attending any property. We carry full public liability insurance and can provide certificates on request. For commercial clients, we also supply method statements, risk assessments and COSHH documentation as standard.
What Happens If Something Is Missed
If you or your letting agent identifies any area that does not meet the expected standard, contact us within 48 hours. We return in Edinburgh and address the specific issue at no additional charge. For Airbnb hosts, we resolve any flagged items before the next guest checks in. This is not a marketing promise — it is a standing operational policy applied to every booking.
How We Operate in Edinburgh
Every city has its own access patterns, property types and operational challenges. Here is how our Edinburgh team handles them.
Typical Properties We Clean in Edinburgh
The majority of properties we clean in Edinburgh are one- and two-bedroom tenement flats in the Old Town, New Town and Leith. We also service Georgian townhouses split into multiple flats in Stockbridge and Morningside, and modern serviced apartments near Haymarket station. Each type has different cleaning requirements — high ceilings with coving in Georgian properties need specific dusting approaches, while modern builds have more appliance-heavy kitchens.
Access Patterns in Edinburgh
Most Edinburgh short-lets are in tenement buildings with shared stair access and no lift. Our teams carry all equipment up flights of stone stairs and coordinate entry via key safes mounted on railings or lockboxes in communal hallways. During the Festival in August, we pre-schedule turnovers at 15-minute intervals to handle the surge without bottlenecks.
Local Operational Knowledge
Edinburgh Council parking permit zones mean our teams plan routes and timing to avoid penalty charges — we hold visitor permits for Zones 1 through 5. Shared-stair buildings require us to avoid blocking common areas with equipment during busy morning hours. During Festival Fringe season (August), same-day turnovers double and we pre-allocate dedicated teams to handle the volume without compromising quality.

Transparent Pricing in Edinburgh — What Affects Your Quote
Airbnb turnover pricing depends on several variables. We quote per property rather than per hour because the scope is defined by the checklist — you pay for a completed turnover, not time on-site.
What Affects the Price
Property size
Number of bedrooms and bathrooms is the primary driver. A studio with one bathroom takes less time and resource than a three-bedroom apartment with two bathrooms.
Linen service
Adding linen collection, laundering and fresh delivery increases the per-turnover cost but saves you the time and hassle of managing it yourself.
Restocking
If you want toiletries, coffee pods, cleaning supplies or welcome items restocked, we add this to the turnover at cost plus a small handling fee.
Urgency
Same-day turnovers are the standard price. Emergency 2-4 hour requests carry a priority surcharge to cover rapid dispatch logistics.
Frequency
Regular weekly or bi-weekly turnovers qualify for volume pricing. The more consistent the schedule, the better the rate.
Guide Prices
All prices are starting points and vary by city, property condition and specific requirements. We provide an exact quote before you commit.
