In short-term rentals, nothing impacts guest experience – or your reviews – more than cleanliness. It’s also one of the most operationally demanding parts of the business.
Whether you're running a single Airbnb or managing a portfolio of properties across multiple postcodes, the challenge is the same: how do you ensure every clean is done to a professional standard, on time, every time?
That’s where having the right housekeeping system makes all the difference.
Why Cleaning Becomes a Bottleneck as You Scale
For hosts just starting out, managing cleans manually – texting a cleaner or dropping off keys – might get you by. But as soon as you scale, the cracks start to show. You get last-minute bookings that aren’t communicated to the cleaner. A guest checks in to find hair in the bathroom. Your cleaner forgets to replenish the toiletries. Or worse – no one turns up at all.
It’s not just frustrating. It costs you time, money, and your hard-earned Superhost status.
How Opago Solves the Housekeeping Puzzle
At Opago, we’ve developed a housekeeping system specifically for the operational realities of short-let businesses. It’s not just software – it’s a complete process, designed by people who’ve managed hundreds of turnovers first-hand.
Here’s how it works:
Live Booking Sync
Our system integrates directly with your booking calendar. New reservations, early check-ins or late check-outs are instantly updated, so cleaners always have the latest schedule.
Digital Instructions and Checklists
Cleaners use a mobile app to access clear, property-specific instructions. From how the bed should be made to where spare bulbs are stored – everything is laid out. They check off tasks as they go, and upload photos to confirm completion.
Real-Time Oversight
You can track progress as it happens. Every clean is time-stamped and photo-verified. If something’s missed or reported – a broken lamp, for instance – you know about it straight away.
Stock Control Built In
Our platform tracks consumables like loo roll, bin bags, toiletries and even linens. You’ll get alerts when stock is low, and can restock before a guest ever notices.
Scalable Across Properties
Whether you’re managing one city-centre flat or fifty holiday lets across the country, you can view and manage all your operations in one place. It’s centralised, repeatable, and built to scale.
How Does Opago Compare to Other Platforms?
There are several tools on the market that claim to help manage short-let cleaning operations — platforms like Turno, Breezeway, Properly, and the cleaning features built into Guesty. Each offers useful features, particularly for smaller operators or those managing cleaners independently.
Turno, for example, focuses on cleaner scheduling and offers marketplace access to cleaning professionals. Breezeway is strong on task checklists and inspection processes, and suits larger hospitality teams. Properly is handy for visual task lists and remote cleaner instructions, while Guesty offers cleaning task automation as part of its broader PMS.
But where these platforms often fall short is in their reliance on third-party cleaners, fragmented communication, or lack of inventory tracking. Many leave you managing separate cleaning teams, spreadsheets, and manual follow-ups.
Opago is different. It’s not just software — it’s a fully managed housekeeping system designed around operational reality. Our tech connects directly with our trained cleaning teams (or yours), automates every part of the turnover process, and offers real-time visibility across all your properties.
So while others give you the tools to manage cleaners, Opago gives you both the tools and the team – and makes sure it all works, consistently.
Why Operators Choose Opago
What sets Opago apart isn’t just the tech – it’s the experience behind it. Our systems were built by operational teams who understand the daily pressure of meeting guest expectations.
We’re not offering a generic cleaning app. We’re offering a system that delivers consistency, reduces issues, and gives you back time to focus on growth.
Whether you’re an individual landlord or managing a growing short-let brand, our goal is simple: to take the stress out of turnover management.
