If you are looking for the fastest way to increase your Airbnb booking rate in Toronto, the data is clear: allow pets.
Travelers with dogs struggle to find high-quality accommodations, meaning pet-friendly listings often enjoy a 20% to 30% higher occupancy rate and can easily charge premium nightly “pet fees.” However, many Toronto hosts refuse to allow pets. Why? Because they are terrified that one wet Golden Retriever will permanently ruin their rugs and leave the condo smelling like dog for the next five guests.
Running a lucrative pet-friendly Airbnb requires a completely different approach to turnovers. At My Canada Cleaning, our pet friendly airbnb cleaning in Toronto allows you to tap into this massive market while keeping your property smelling factory-fresh.
The Pet-Fee Profit Margin
When you charge a $50 to $100 pet fee per stay, that money shouldn’t just be pocketed—it should be reinvested into specialized cleaning. This guarantees that your next guest (who may not own a pet) has zero idea a dog was ever there.
1. The UV Light Inspection
Even well-trained dogs can have accidents in a new environment. When our teams enter a pet-friendly unit, we use specialized UV blacklights to inspect the area rugs, sofa corners, and baseboards for hidden urine spots that might not be immediately visible but will eventually smell.
2. Enzymatic Odor Destruction
If you try to clean pet urine or saliva with bleach or standard floor cleaner, you will fail. The uric acid crystals simply crystallize and wait for a humid day to release their odor again. We use commercial-grade enzymatic cleaners that biologically consume the odor-causing proteins, permanently eliminating the smell from your floors and fabrics.
3. The “Soft Surface” Reset
Dogs love to rub against the base of sofas and sleep on throw blankets. During a pet turnover, we heavily HEPA-vacuum the upholstery to pull out the natural oils that shed from a dog’s coat. We also ensure that all protective throw blankets are immediately bagged and washed on a high-heat sanitizing cycle.
You can welcome pets, boost your revenue, and protect your 5-star cleanliness rating.
