Host Tools is excited to announce yet another fantastic software integration. We’ve recently partnered with TIDY, a powerful software that automates your property’s cleanings and maintenance needs.

 In short, hosts can now find reliable cleaners and automatically schedule their property cleanings both on TIDY and Turno (Formerly TurnoverBnB). This blog post will explain what TIDY is, why it is helpful for a host, and how to integrate your TIDY and Host Tools accounts.

Host Tools provides an automated, unified calendar for short-term rental hosts, allowing you to seamlessly list on all major channels. Start your free trial today! 

What is TIDY?

TIDY is a powerful software that automates your property’s cleanings and maintenance. With TIDY, you can easily find new cleaners or work with people you already love. TIDY is perfect for keeping your short-term rental in tip-top condition.

Once you download the app and create an account, you can start adding properties. For each property, you’ll need to provide some basic information like the address, square footage, and number of bedrooms and bathrooms. You’ll also be able to add photos, so your cleaners can see what they’re walking into.

Once you’ve got your properties set up, it’s time to start booking cleanings! You can book one-time cleanings or recurring cleanings, depending on your needs. TIDY offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so you can be sure you’re getting the best possible service.

Another stellar feature is the “To-Do” lists.  You can add custom tasks to these lists, and your cleaners will be sure to take care of them when they come to clean.

This is perfect for things like taking out the trash, doing the dishes, or watering plants. The “To-Do” lists will automatically offer suggestions for cleanings, allow hosts to upload example photos, provide an estimate of how long each task will take, let hosts set priority levels of tasks, and require cleaners to upload before and after photos.

TIDY is free for residential use up to 2 properties, then $10/ property/ month after that. The free package still includes home maintenance reminders, mapping tools, to-do lists, & job management. It is an excellent tool for both new and experienced short-term rental hosts.

TIDY is the perfect solution for busy people who want to keep their homes or businesses in tip-top shape!

Why Integrate Your Host Tools Account with Tidy?

When you integrate your Host Tools account with TIDY, you’ll get a bird’s eye view of all your properties, reservations, and cleanings. Plus, you can save time by automatically setting up cleaning requests.

And if that wasn’t enough, you can also bring all the cleaners you work with onto the TIDY platform. Not to mention, it’s free for them!

Finally, you’ll get all the tracking you want and need, including upcoming cleanings, completed cleanings, and what turnovers need to be finished. So why not give it a try? You might just be surprised at how much easier your life becomes!

How the Integration Between TIDY and Host Tools Works

After integrating TIDY with your Host Tools account, TIDY will automatically create listings for all of your properties. When a new guest reservation is made on your Host Tools account, it will also be added to your “Reservations” tab within TIDY.

TIDY knows the reservation details and can automatically book a cleaning between guests’ check-in and check-out. The turnover cleaning will follow the instructions you set under the “Automatic Booking” section. The cleaners you already have listed under the “My Pros” section in the app will have the opportunity to accept the job in the order you previously determined.

Overall, the integration between TIDY and Host Tools makes it easy for you to manage your vacation rental cleaning needs from start to finish!
