Cleaning coordination for short-term rentals

Never miss a turnover.

BowReady reads your Airbnb, Vrbo, and iCal calendars, assigns your cleaner, and reminds you both before every checkout, so a guest never walks into a room that wasn't cleaned.

Paying ~$10 CAD a turnover elsewhere? That’s ~$480 a year for one rental. Here it’s $0. See what you’d save →

BowReady host view, coverage across every channel

Coordination apps that bill per turnover take a cut of every cleaning. BowReady takes $0. No ads, no credit card, no per-cleaning fee. You pay your cleaner directly, and every dollar stays between the two of you.

Nothing for your cleaner to install or learn. Send a link or a short code, they tap Accept, and every turnover lands on their phone, with the address, access code, and deadline.

What it does

Every checkout, covered

From the moment a checkout appears to the moment the room is ready: one handoff, one reminder, one person on the hook. Here's what that looks like.

Phone and web

Run it from your pocket, or a full screen

Everything in the app is on the web too, at my.bowready.app. Same account, same live schedule, more room to work.

Every channel, one job

Your calendars in, one clean out

The same checkout on Airbnb, or Vrbo collapses into a single turnover.

  • Reads every iCal channel for you, around the clock
  • Anything still uncovered floats to the top
  • One booking, one ping, never a double

Everything in one place

The cleaner opens one screen

No more digging through texts for the door code an hour before checkout.

  • Time, address, and access code on the job itself
  • Your standing note, every turnover
  • One tap to start, one to mark it done, with photos
Property setup with an assigned cleaner and a backup

Never left uncovered

A primary, and a backup

Set a main Cleaning Pro per property and an optional backup.

  • Decline hands the same job straight to the backup
  • No scramble, and never a second booking
  • You hear the moment it changes hands

Beyond the turnover

The upkeep, on a schedule too

A property needs more than a clean between guests. Set the recurring jobs once and BowReady reminds you before each one is due.

  • Filters, softener salt, duct cleaning, whatever repeats
  • A heads-up before it's due, per property
  • Set it once, it comes back on its own

Built so a turnover can't slip

Two things happen automatically, every time.

One turnover per checkout

Run the cleaning as a crew

A Cleaning Pro assigns each property to a teammate, auto-covers when someone's out, and sees earnings per person, all on one shared schedule.

And there's more

The details that keep a turnover from slipping.

Reminders that follow the plan

Faster, more reliable nudges: on assignment, a day before, and two hours before, in the property's local time. Move a booking and stale ones cancel themselves.

Proof it's done

Cleaners can attach photos when they mark a turnover complete, so you know the room's ready before the next guest walks in.

Checklists that fit the clean

One master checklist across properties, grouped by room, with the essentials marked Must-do. Your Cleaning Pro checks off a room at a time.

Notify on your schedule

Choose when your cleaner hears about a job, right away or closer to the date, so it lands when it's useful, not weeks early.

What's owed, what's earned

Opens on this month, with This month, Year to date, and Owed at a glance. Mark paid, export a PDF. BowReady still never touches the money.

What's new

The clean itself, dialed in

BowReady already gets the right person to the right door. Now it runs what happens inside: the supplies on hand, a checklist that fits the clean, and the standard you both hold.

Supplies, reimagined

One closet, many doors

Pool supplies across several properties into a shared storage closet. One restock list, not one per unit.

  • Group the rentals a closet serves, and stock them together
  • Your Cleaning Pro flags what is low right from the job
  • You see it on your home screen, before the next guest

Checklists that fit the clean

Room by room, must-dos first

Build one master checklist and apply it across properties in a couple of taps.

  • Group steps by room, the way a clean actually runs
  • Mark the essentials Must-do, so a short-on-time clean still hits what matters
  • Cleaning Pros work room by room, and check off a whole room at once

For the Cleaning Pro

Your standards, on every job

My standards lets a Cleaning Pro carry their own steps and standing notes into every clean, on top of whatever the host asks for.

  • Your own steps, set once, on every turnover
  • A standing note that travels with you
  • The host's list and yours, in one flow

More polish

The money, at a glance

The money view opens on this month, with This month, Year to date, and Owed right at the top.

  • Opens to the number that matters today
  • This month, Year to date, and what is still owed
  • Agree an amount, mark it paid; BowReady never touches the money

How it fits together

Two quiet mechanics behind the polish.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Which calendars does BowReady work with?

Airbnb, Vrbo, and any service that gives you an iCal (.ics) link. Paste the link onto a property, if the same checkout shows up on more than one calendar, BowReady collapses it into a single turnover so your cleaner is pinged once.

How soon does BowReady see a new or changed booking?

BowReady re-checks your connected calendars about once an hour, so a new, moved, or cancelled booking usually becomes a turnover within an hour or two, and the right cleaner is pinged automatically. It is not instant, and you never have to refresh or re-import anything.

How do I connect a cleaner?

Share your invite link with the cleaner, or add them by their BowReady username (or have them share theirs), and the other side taps Accept. Either the host or the cleaner can start it. Then assign that cleaner to a property, and its turnovers begin flowing to them. There's no marketplace: a host brings the cleaner they already work with, or a Cleaning Pro brings their own hosts.

What does the cleaner see?

Each assigned turnover with the property, date, deadline, and access details, plus the reminders. The cleaner accepts the job and marks it done when the room's ready, optionally with photos. If a booking moves, the turnover reschedules and the old reminders cancel themselves.

What does it cost, and does BowReady handle payment?

Free for your first two properties, and always free for Cleaning Pros. Need more? Starter covers up to 5 properties, Growth up to 15, and Pro up to 35, all billed through the App Store, Google Play, or our web app. Beyond 35, Scale is the Pro plan plus $0.60 per property over 35, with no cap, set up in our web app (see Pricing). Separately, BowReady never asks for a credit card or moves money between you and your cleaner: you pay your cleaner directly, outside the app, with no card commissions or transaction fees. You can store the agreed per-turnover amount and payment notes for reference, nothing is ever charged through BowReady.

How do reminders work?

Reminders are push notifications sent from our server, never scheduled on the phone, so they can be cancelled when plans change. They fire on assignment, 24 hours before, and 2 hours before the deadline, in the property's local time. Move or cancel a booking and the stale nudges cancel automatically.

Will BowReady email me?

Turnover activity comes as push notifications, not email: new jobs, changes, and reminders all arrive as a ping on your phone. We only email you about your account, like your sign-in code or a password reset. Your inbox stays quiet.

Can I use BowReady on a computer?

Yes. Alongside the iPhone and Android apps, hosts can sign in to the Web Portal from any browser to manage properties, cleaners, and reports on a bigger screen. It is the same account, kept in sync.

Does BowReady do checklists and teams?

Yes. Build one master checklist and apply it across properties in a couple of taps. Group the steps by room, mark the essentials Must-do, and your Cleaning Pro works room by room, checking off a whole room at once. A Cleaning Pro can also keep their own My standards steps and standing notes that ride along on every job. The checklist stays live until the clean starts, then locks so the record stays honest. And a Cleaning Pro can add their own crew and route each job to the right person, so a growing cleaning business runs on one shared schedule.

Can I share cleaning supplies across properties?

Yes. Create a shared storage closet and pool supplies across several nearby properties, so you keep one restock list instead of one per unit. Your Cleaning Pro flags what is running low right from the job, and it surfaces on your home screen, so you can restock before the next guest arrives.

Can I share a property with a co-host or business partner?

Yes. Invite a co-host to any property as a Viewer or a Manager. Both see the schedule and get the same turnover alerts; a Manager can also make changes, like assigning a cleaner. You stay the owner, and you decide who sees what.

Does BowReady handle property maintenance, not just turnovers?

Yes. Alongside guest turnovers, you can set recurring upkeep reminders per property, like furnace or humidifier filters, water softener salt, and duct cleaning. Set the cadence once and BowReady reminds you before each one is due, so the place stays in shape between cleans.
