Short Let Cleaning

Automatic cleaning for Edinburgh short lets and holiday rentals.

Whether you list on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, or your own site — we sync with your calendar and schedule a clean for every checkout. Photo proof before your next guest arrives.

Built for Edinburgh's short-let market

Edinburgh has over 4,800 active short-term rental listings. The Festival Fringe alone drives 2.6 million tickets across 25 days in August. That's a city where reliable turnover cleaning isn't optional — it's the difference between a 4.6 and a 4.9 rating.

We built Edinburgh Cleaning Co specifically for hosts who are tired of coordinating cleaners manually. Connect your calendar, and every checkout is handled — same cleaner, same standard, photo proof every time.

Frequently asked questions

What is short let cleaning?

Short let cleaning is a professional turnover clean between guest stays at short-term rental properties. It includes a full clean of all rooms, linen change, restocking consumables, and photo verification to ensure the property is guest-ready.

How much does short let cleaning cost in Edinburgh?

Short let cleaning in Edinburgh starts from £65 for a 1-bed flat, £85 for 2-bed, £110 for 3-bed, and £140 for 4-bed. Volume discounts of up to 20% are available for hosts with regular bookings.

Do you work with Booking.com and Vrbo as well as Airbnb?

Yes. Our calendar sync works with any platform that provides an iCal feed — Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Guesty, Hospitable, and most property management software. You can connect multiple platforms for the same property.

Do I need a short let licence in Edinburgh?

Yes. Since October 2023, all short-term let properties in Edinburgh require a licence from the City of Edinburgh Council. Secondary lets (properties you don't live in) also need planning permission for change of use. Our turnover cleaning service includes compliance-relevant steps like fire safety checks and linen management.

Can you handle back-to-back turnovers?

Yes. During busy periods like Edinburgh Festival, we handle same-day turnovers with tight windows between checkout and check-in. Our dedicated cleaners are familiar with each property so they can work efficiently.

What happens during Edinburgh Festival in August?

We scale our team specifically for August. Hosts can book daily turnovers across multiple properties. We recommend locking in your Festival cleaning schedule by mid-July to guarantee coverage during Edinburgh's busiest month.
