Vacuum After Checkout, Before the Cleaners Arrive
When guests check out, give your robot vacuum a head start. BNBvacs uses the scheduled checkout time to start a vacuuming run, so the robot can pick up dust, crumbs and grit before the cleaners arrive. With enough time for the robot to finish, the team can walk in to vacuumed floors and get straight to the rest of the turnover.
Why use the booking calendar?
Checkout-based scheduling uses the departure time in the synced reservation. That gives the robot a run to start even when guests check out on different days each week. If a guest arranges a late checkout, review the scheduled run before it starts.
With BNBvacs, you connect a supported calendar, assign a compatible vacuum to the rental and review upcoming starts in Cleaning Jobs. For multiple rentals, see how to match each calendar to the right robot.
Example: checkout at 10, cleaners at 11:30
The guests leave by 10 a.m. and the robot’s route is clear. BNBvacs schedules the run for the 10 a.m. checkout. If the robot starts at 10:10 and takes 35 minutes, the reachable floors are vacuumed by 10:45. When the cleaners arrive at 11:30, they can start on linens, bathrooms and restocking.
Leave a buffer between checkout and the cleaners’ arrival for the job to start and the robot to finish. Include a quick check of the floors, stairs and any spots the robot can’t reach in the team’s turnover checklist.
Check whether it fits your property
- Good fit. Your rental has reachable floors, a clear route to the dock and enough time between guests to check the result.
- Start with one property. On the first few turnovers, note what the robot missed and how much floor work the team still does. Use that to decide where the setup is worth repeating.
- Keep the team in control. Build a fallback for late departures, short changeovers or a robot that gets stuck. Keep bathrooms, linen changes and the final inspection on the team’s task list.
If you’re choosing a device, first check whether a robot vacuum suits the rental’s floors, thresholds and Wi-Fi, then review BNBvacs integrations.
