Hey what's up?
Hi, I'm Dmitrii, a professional Airbnb cleaner. Welcome to my website! 🤗 Let me share my experience with Airbnb cleaning. I launched my apartment cleaning and maintenance business specifically for Airbnb properties in Seoul, South Korea, back in 2018. Prior to that, I had experience cleaning apartments in general. My serious cleaning journey began in 2010 when I worked as an orderly in a hospital's intensive care unit during my student years. Over the course of two years, I gained extensive experience in maintaining sterile cleanliness and ensuring proper ventilation.
After completing my studies, I transitioned to working as a bartender in a restaurant. Eventually, I became a restaurant manager. Surprisingly, this role also provided valuable experience in maintaining cleanliness. I trained staff on proper treatment of different surfaces and how to keep dishes, sofas, and tables spotless.
In 2016, I started traveling extensively and decided to work as a self-employed cleaner while living in South Korea. At that time, Airbnb was very popular there. Initially, I focused on move-in and move-out cleaning services, which involved deep cleaning akin to restoration since guests stayed for extended periods.
By the end of 2018, I specialized exclusively in cleaning Airbnb apartments and had already assembled a team of cleaners. I trained and supervised my employees, ensuring high-quality service. In addition to cleaning apartments, we handled tasks like restocking consumables (shampoos, soaps, towels) and fixing any damaged devices or items in Airbnb homes.
In 2020, the pandemic hit Seoul hard, leading to significant restrictions on Airbnb operations. Despite the crisis, we not only maintained our service but also expanded our base of regular customers. Unfortunately, by 2021, circumstances forced me to return to Russia.
In 2022, I launched my cleaning service in San Diego. I have regular clients and partners who can assist with a large number of cleaning bookings. Additionally, I sometimes train new cleaners. This year, my plan is to expand my client base.
