Questions, answered
What photos should a cleaner take at checkout?
A wide shot of every room plus close-ups of high-risk items (sofa, mattress, countertops, appliances) and anything damaged. This builder generates the full room-by-room list based on your property.
Can I print this for my cleaning team?
Yes — use Print / Save as PDF to hand or text it to your cleaners and co-hosts. No account required.
How do these photos help with a damage claim?
Consistent checkout photos, captured at turnover against a known baseline, are the evidence platforms want. Turnfolio turns them into a host-reviewed claim packet automatically.
