How are small hosts handing off turnover schedules to cleaners?
Category: Operations & Cleaning
By: Juan Aviles
I keep seeing the same operational gap with smaller STR hosts who aren't using a full PMS: the booking calendar is in one place, but the cleaner schedule ends up being handled through texts, screenshots, spreadsheets, or manually copied dates.
I'm curious what people here are actually using for the handoff. Shared calendar? Spreadsheet? WhatsApp/text? Turno? Something else?
I built a small free tool called TurnSheet to test a simpler approach: give it booking/calendar information and it generates a cleaner-facing turnover schedule with same-day check-ins flagged. No guest PII in the cleaner handoff.
It doesn't automatically monitor booking changes yet, so it's intentionally much simpler than a PMS.
If anyone here manages turnovers this way, I'd be interested in whether this solves anything or just adds another step:

Disclosure: I'm the person building it. It's free; I'm mainly trying to learn whether this workflow is actually useful.
