Cleaning fees…

I am new to HE. I have had my beachfront condo on Airbnb and VRBO for years. I take pride in every aspect of it and maintain a 5.0 score and superhost status. One of the main comments is how clean my place is. I prefer to use my own housekeeper as she is totally thorough and the guest needs to just take the trash out and she does the rest, which includes washing sheets etc. I charge $150 cleaning fee at the end. How do I ask for this and how does it work? I see others chatted about it but I don’t see a clear answer anywhere. Also I am not willing to let a guest take on the chore of housekeeping. I feel that my place needs to be sanitized and cleaned properly by a professional to ensure I maintain the expectations of future guests and also their safety.

Hello, you need to make your requirements clear in your listing description, with the cost. You can also ask your guests to confirm on the message you send on the site. Fees should only be paid though once the exchange has started, and not in advance. Preferably in cash.

Thank you
