#62: Ditch Cleaning Drama, Embrace Airbnb Superhost Status

with Assaf Karmon

Tired of the post-guest cleaning purgatory? You’re not alone, Airbnb fam! But listen up, there’s a game-changer hiding in plain sight. Forget backaches and crossed fingers, say hello to Turno, your short-term rental cleaning savior!

Join us in The STR Sisterhood’s latest podcast episode where we crack the code on why DIY Airbnb cleaning is a recipe for disaster (it’s more than just sore muscles, trust us!).

Assaf Karmon, Turno’s co-founder, spills the tea on:

  • Why outsourcing your cleaning is the ultimate power move (hello, free time and happy guests!)
  • Turno’s magic matchmaking: Get connected with local, vetted cleaners who rock the sparkle socks. No more sketchy reviews or crossed fingers!
  • The “never miss a beat” redundancy feature: Even if your cleaner’s cat swallows a key (don’t ask!), Turno’s got your back, ensuring seamless guest check-ins.
  • From dream to reality: Hear Turno’s inspiring journey from a crazy idea to empowering thousands of Airbnb hosts.

Ready to ditch the mop and embrace cleaning bliss? Assaf walks you through the easy-peasy signup process so you can wave goodbye to cleaning woes and hello to happy guests (and a much happier you!).

Ditch the bucket, grab your headphones! Tune in to The STR Sisterhood and unlock the door to cleaning freedom with Turno.

P.S. Don’t miss out on the exclusive $150 Turno bonus just for you! It’s like finding a $20 bill under a perfectly-fluffed guest towel. Go get it!  https://bit.ly/sisterhoodturno
