# How Do I Automate Cleaning Scheduling for Short-Term Rentals?

You automate cleaning scheduling by letting a checkout status change trigger a cleaning task automatically, directed to the right person, without a manual phone call every time. On **Jestor**, this connects reservation status directly to **automations** that create cleaning tasks.

Coordinating cleaning across multiple properties manually, calling, texting, waiting for confirmation, is one of the most repetitive operational tasks in short stay, and one of the easiest to automate.

## What manual cleaning coordination costs

- Someone needing to manually notify the cleaning team after every checkout
- No visibility into which properties are already clean and which are still waiting
- A delay between checkout and cleaning start, pushing back the next check-in
- No record of who cleaned what, or when

## How cleaning automation works

- A reservation changing to "checkout complete" can trigger a cleaning task automatically
- The task routes to the cleaning contact linked to that specific property
- **SLA** shows how long cleaning is taking, by property
- Cleaning completion can automatically trigger the property's release for the next check-in

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Event-triggered automation removes the need for manual notification
- SLA tracking makes it visible which properties are falling behind on cleaning
- The same structure scales from a handful of properties to a large portfolio
- Reduces idle time between checkout and the next check-in
