Common questions
What should I check before using Cleanster, Operto Teams and ResortCleaning for cleaning between stays?
Test what happens when a guest changes, cancels or books a stay at short notice. Check that the right person sees the job. Agree who checks for missing work and adds a job when needed. Linking a calendar does not settle who will do that.
How should I check completed work with Cleanster, Operto Teams and ResortCleaning?
Choose the photos and tasks that matter for each home. Decide who checks them and who handles a problem. A task marked done in an app is not proof that a separate inspector checked the home.
Where should I check the full cost of a Cleanster booking?
Marketplace bookings add a $3 fee to the cleaner’s price. Paying your own cleaner through the app costs 5% plus $3 per booking. Check the full price before you confirm. The site does not say which dollar currency applies.
Can Operto Teams use different checklists for different homes?
Yes. Each home’s task form can include its own needs, such as hot-tub care. Attach that form to a task rule to add it to checkout work. Check the form before using the rule for several homes.
Can ResortCleaning send cleaning status back to Guesty?
Yes. Its Guesty link brings in bookings and cleaning tasks, then sends task status back to Guesty. Check that the link is set up for your account. Do not assume a link to other property software sends the same data.
