👋 Before you go
While there are many drawbacks to being an Airbnb cleaner, the job has its perks—mainly, as TikTok user Dee (@deetakesovercleaning) explains, free food.
In a video with over 442,000 views, TikTok user Dee shows off her “haul” from a recent Airbnb clean.
From a guest named Mike, Dee received leftover Mac and Cheese, a loaf of bread, a bag of tortilla chips, several small chip bags, beer, a pack of hot dogs, cheese dip, a pre-made cocktail, green tea, hot pockets, and ice pops.
“Help yourself to our leftover snacks,” a note by Mike left on a paper plate reads. “There’s extra in the fridge, too.”
“What I never have to buy as an Airbnb cleaner,” the text overlay reads.
