What this spreadsheet does
Cleaning fees are often set once and never revisited, so hosts don't notice when actual cleaning costs have drifted from what guests are charged.
What you can do with it
- Check whether the cleaning fee still covers the actual cost
- Track spend across multiple cleaners
- See total monthly cleaning cost
What's included
Sheet tabs
- Instructions
- Fee Check
- Cleaning Log
- By Cleaner
Features
- Per-stay log of the fee charged, the cleaner's invoice and the extras that turnover cost you
- True cost and margin per turnover, extras included
- A count of turnovers that actually lost money, kept separate from the average
- Per-cleaner jobs, spend and average margin
- A plain-English verdict on whether the fee still covers the work
- The fee you'd need to charge to hit a target margin
How it works
- 1Log each turnover: fee charged, cleaner paid, and extras like laundry or overtime
- 2Set the margin you want to keep per turnover on the Fee Check tab
- 3Read the verdict — and, if the fee has slipped, the fee you'd need to charge
Who it's for
Hosts who want to confirm their cleaning fee still covers their actual cleaning cost.
Frequently asked questions
Can I track more than one cleaner?
Yes. The By Cleaner tab gives each one their job count, total paid and average margin, so you can see what a cheaper cleaner actually costs you once extras are counted.
Why is there an extras column?
Because laundry, restocks and overtime after a bad stay are part of what the turnover cost, and a tracker that compares the fee to the cleaner's invoice alone reports a margin that doesn't exist. Extras are added into true cost.
