Your guest checks out.
Your cleaner already knows.
Lustro turns every booking into a cleaning job automatically – with a checklist, photo proof and a push notification to your team. No WhatsApp chaos, no missed check-ins, no chasing calls.
- No credit card required
- Free plan, forever
- GDPR-compliant, hosted in the EU

Check-in – the apartment is provably ready
Hosting is a joy. Coordinating the cleaning rarely is.
Everything lives in WhatsApp
Dates, agreements, photos – scattered across chats and voice messages. The only person who knows tomorrow's schedule is whoever reads the whole thread.
Changes slip through
A cancellation, an extended night, an early check-in – and suddenly someone cleans the wrong apartment. Or none at all.
No proof when it matters
Was the bathroom clean? Was the stain already there? Without photos and a log, every complaint becomes word against word.
From booking to guest-ready – in three steps
01
Connect your calendar
Paste the iCal link from Airbnb, Booking.com or VRBO – done in two minutes. With Smoobu, Lustro even syncs in real time. Manual bookings work too, of course.
02
Jobs create themselves
For every departure, Lustro creates the matching cleaning job – property, time window and your checklist included. Cancellations and date changes update the schedule automatically.
03
Your team gets it done
Cleaners get a push notification, accept the job and work through the checklist room by room – with photos as proof. You watch progress live.
Everything that has to happen between check-out and check-in
01
Your booking calendar does the planning
Lustro reads your channels and schedules on its own. You only decide who cleans – or leave that to the open pool as well.
- iCal import for Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO & more – on every plan, including the free one
- Smoobu integration with webhook: changes hit your schedule within seconds
- Recurring job series for regular cleanings, e.g. stairwells or long-term stays
- Reminders before each job plus alerts for unconfirmed or overdue ones
02
Clean is what you define
Every property gets its own checklist – room by room, task by task. Reference photos show what the result should look like.
- Checklists with rooms, tasks and reference photos
- Photo proof straight from the cleaning – compressed and stored securely
- Live progress: see what's done without asking
- Damage & issues reported with a photo, landing on your desk instantly
03
Your team is on board in two minutes
Share an invite link via WhatsApp or SMS – your cleaner sets up their own access. No email required, no training needed.
- Invite by link, self-onboarding in your team's language (German & English)
- Direct assignment, teams or an open pool – first to accept takes the job
- Built-in chat per cleaner – agreements stay with the job, not on private phones
- Absences tracked: holidays and sick days don't derail the schedule
04
The full picture, without chasing anyone
The dashboard shows exactly what needs your attention – and nothing else.
- One-click fixes for alerts: booking without cleaning, unconfirmed jobs, open issues
- Calendar feed (iCal): every cleaning in your own calendar (Google, Apple, Outlook)
- CSV export for billing and analysis
- Runs as an app on any device – no app store, always up to date (PWA)
From a single rental to a portfolio of 25+
Private hosts
One to three apartments, mostly self-managed? The free plan covers your day-to-day – automatic booking import included. Forever, not just as a trial.
Growing hosts & agencies
Multiple properties, several cleaners, channels from Airbnb to direct bookings: Lustro keeps bookings and cleanings in sync and simply scales with you.
Cleaning companies
Cleaning for several owners? Manage properties, teams and proof in one place – under your own name and logo if you like.
Lustro wasn't designed on a whiteboard – it grew out of running a real vacation rental, built when WhatsApp groups and spreadsheets stopped being enough.
Spreadsheet, international app – or Lustro?
Honestly: for one property with one cleaner, a shared spreadsheet works surprisingly long – it's free, flexible, and nobody has to learn anything new. It breaks the moment bookings change, several people work at once, or you need proof. International cleaning apps solve the automation, but charge per property – typically $8–10 per property per month – and are built for the US market.
How the costs scale
Monthly price by number of properties – monthly billing, your own cleaning team
Comparison basis: typical US marketplace app with your own cleaning team, $10 ≈ €9 per property per month on monthly billing (annual approx. $8), plus around 5% fee per clean paid through the platform; free only when using marketplace cleaners exclusively. Lustro: flexible monthly billing with no lock-in. As of July 2026.
| Spreadsheet + WhatsApp | International cleaning app* | Lustro | |

| Push reminders & escalation | No | Yes | Yes – incl. alerts for overdue jobs |
| Finding new cleaners for you | No | Yes – marketplace, mainly in the US | Deliberately not – Lustro organises your own team |
| German-language, data in the EU | Depends on your spreadsheet provider | Mostly US providers, hosted outside the EU | German & English, GDPR, EU hosting |
| Your own logo & app name | No | No | On premium plans |
* Typical marketplace apps for vacation-rental cleaning (as of July 2026); pricing and feature set vary by provider.

Included in every premium plan
- Smoobu integration
- Recurring series (jobs created automatically)

Frequently asked questions
Do I need Smoobu or a channel manager?
No. The iCal import works directly with Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and any calendar that exports iCal – on every plan. Smoobu is a premium extra for anyone who wants real-time sync.
What happens after the 30-day trial?
Your account automatically switches to the free plan – nothing is charged, since no payment method is on file. Your data stays, and you can upgrade any time.
How do I get my cleaning team into the app?
You create an invite link and share it via WhatsApp or SMS. Your cleaner picks their own name, language and password – done. No collecting email addresses.
Do I have to install an app from the App Store?
No. Lustro runs in the browser and installs like an app on iPhone, Android and desktop – push notifications included, no store detour.
Where is my data – and my guests' data – stored?
In the EU. Lustro is GDPR-compliant: data export and account deletion are built in, guest data is anonymised automatically 12 months after departure, and a data processing agreement is available.
Can I cancel or switch plans at any time?
Yes, right inside the app: upgrades apply immediately, downgrades and cancellations at the end of the paid period. No phone call, no notice-period traps.
I do the cleaning myself – is Lustro still worth it?
Especially then: the calendar import reminds you of every departure, the checklist makes sure nothing is forgotten, and the photos document the apartment's condition – even when you do everything yourself.

Create your first property now – with a checklist, calendar connection and team invite you're up and running in fifteen minutes.
