Kitchen Cleaning Specialist - Short Term Rentals

We're hiring a Kitchen Cleaning Team Member to join our turnover crew. No prior professional cleaning experience is required — but you must be coachable, physically capable, and serious about doing the job right.

READ THIS BEFORE APPLYING

This is not a casual job. Our kitchens are the hardest-hit area of every property after a guest stay. You'll be cleaning grease, scrubbing appliances, sanitizing surfaces, and resetting a full kitchen to guest-ready condition — fast and consistently. If you're not willing to put in the physical effort or follow a system, this is not the right role.

• You must be physically fit. This is an active, hands-on role. You'll be on your feet, bending, scrubbing, lifting, and moving quickly for hours. Physical conditioning matters.
• You must have reliable transportation. We operate across multiple Kalamazoo-area properties. Showing up late or inconsistently is not acceptable.
• You must work well within a team. Our crews depend on each other. If you can't communicate, take direction, and carry your share of the work, this is not the right fit.
• You must be coachable.

We have a specific standard. Prior kitchen or cleaning experience is a plus but not required — what matters is your willingness to learn and execute our system consistently.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Deep clean and sanitize all kitchen surfaces after every guest stay
• Clean inside and outside of all appliances — oven, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher
• Scrub sinks, countertops, cabinet faces, and backsplashes
• Wash, dry, and reset all dishes, cookware, and utensils to a set standard
• Identify and report any damage, missing items, or maintenance needs
• Coordinate with the crew to complete full-property turnovers on time

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Physically fit — this job demands it
• Reliable transportation to Kalamazoo-area properties
• Positive, coachable attitude — willingness to learn our system and hold to it
• Strong attention to detail — kitchens must pass a post-clean inspection
• Team player — you communicate, take direction, and support the crew
• Dependable — you show up, on time, every scheduled shift

OUR STANDARD

Every kitchen we turn over must look like it's never been used. Appliances are spotless inside and out. Dishes are clean, dry, and properly stored. Surfaces are sanitized and streak-free. Supplies are stocked. We run inspections after every turn. We do not cut corners.

• 4:00pm, 7 days a week if needed? This is a physically active role
• you'll be on your feet, moving quickly, and cleaning multiple properties back-to-back.

Are you comfortable working in a fast-paced environment for several hours at a time? Not all of our homes are on the bus line, so relying on public transportation is not an option for this role. You will be cleaning multiple homes a day, so relying on a ride is also not an option for this role. Do you have access to your own reliable vehicle daily? This role averages 10-15 hours per week. Does that work for your current financial needs?
