Cleaner calendar sharing
Share an Airbnb availability calendar with your cleaner without sharing the private feed
Cleaners usually need arrival, departure, and occupied-date visibility—not access to a host account or raw iCal export URL. A focused calendar image or public availability snapshot keeps the handoff simpler and limits unnecessary exposure.
Choose the smallest amount of access needed
Use an exported month image for a fixed cleaning schedule or a public snapshot when the recipient needs to reopen the current availability view. Avoid sending the private iCal feed URL in chat because anyone with that address may be able to read calendar timing from the source.
Do not use an encrypted full-workspace transfer link for routine cleaner access. That transfer can contain private feed URLs and is intended for moving your complete workspace between trusted devices.
Create one calendar from every booking channel
Add the Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, or other supported feeds for the same property and refresh the month. Combining the sources prevents the cleaner from having to compare separate booking-platform calendars.
Check the source status before sharing. If the result is partial or a source failed, verify the dates before treating the calendar as a complete cleaning schedule.
- Select the correct property and month.
- Refresh every enabled source.
- Confirm known check-in and checkout dates.
- Export an image or create a public snapshot.
Add operational details outside the calendar
An availability calendar shows occupied date ranges, but it may not contain cleaning time, access instructions, linen requirements, or special turnover notes. Send those operational details separately through the workflow you already use with the cleaner.
Refresh and resend the calendar whenever a late booking, cancellation, or date change affects the cleaning schedule.
Frequently asked questions
Should I send my Airbnb iCal URL directly to a cleaner?
Prefer a calendar image or public availability snapshot when the cleaner only needs date visibility. Keep the raw iCal export URL private.
Can one shared calendar include Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo?
Yes. Add the feeds to the same property and share the resulting combined month after every source refreshes successfully.
Does an availability calendar replace a cleaning checklist?
No. Send access, timing, linen, and property-specific instructions separately because iCal availability does not reliably include those operational details.
