Stop chasing your cleaners.
Clara handles it.
Clara automatically coordinates cleanings for all your short-term rental turnovers.
Works directly in WhatsApp — no new apps, no training for your cleaners.
Built by STR hosts who got tired of chasing their cleaners.
The story
We got tired of chasing our cleaners
We built Clara because we needed it.
We have short term rentals. And for a while, cleaning coordination was the most stressful part of running it — not the cleaning itself, but the back-and-forth. Waiting to hear back from the cleaner. Wondering if they saw the message. Checking again the morning of checkout.
We kept thinking: this should just happen automatically.
So we built Clara. Now it does.
The problem
One missed cleaning can cost you the review
Managing Airbnb, Vrbo and short term rental turnovers manually is tedious, error-prone, and always on your mind.
When coordination fails
One missed confirmation. One bad review. One refund request.
You wait. No reply comes.
Guest checks in to a dirty unit.
1-star review. Ranking drops.
Refund request. Revenue lost.
Clara stops this before it starts.
Humans forget. Systems don't.
That mental load disappears when coordination runs through a system.

The solution
Clara automates your STR cleaning workflow end-to-end
Clara handles the back-and-forth so you don't have to.
Clara sits between your bookings and your cleaners — handling communication, confirmations, and follow-ups automatically.
Nothing gets forgotten. Nothing slips.
Clara never forgets a turnover.
Set it up once. Clara handles every turnover from there.
Clara tracks
- Booking calendar feeds (iCal) from Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com
- Checkouts, changes, and cancellations
- Cleaner availability and preferences
- Timing rules and response windows
- Accepts, declines, or no response
If there's no response or decline
- Follows up automatically
- Reassigns to the next available cleaner
Continues until job is confirmed.
After confirmation
- Monitor job status
- Track it through completion
Clara escalates only when needed
- No cleaner accepts after all attempts
- Conflicting responses require a decision
Everything else runs automatically.
