How to share your Guesty calendar with your cleaner
Guesty keeps all your bookings in one place. Getting those dates to your cleaner is the harder part. Here's how Guesty handles cleaners, and a simpler way.

Quick answer
In Guesty, cleaners are added as users and log in to see the calendar and their tasks. If your cleaner won't use a login, export your Guesty calendar link and paste it into SheetDay. Your cleaner gets one simple page with every checkout, updated every hour.
How Guesty gives cleaners access
- Add your cleaner as a user and give them a role that can see the calendar.
- Assign cleaning tasks to them in Guesty.
- Your cleaner logs in to Guesty with their own username to see their schedule.
That works for a cleaning company with an office. An independent cleaner who works for several hosts often ends up juggling apps and passwords, and the schedule goes unread.
Step 1: Copy your Guesty calendar link
- 1Sign in to Guesty and switch to Operations mode.
- 2Click Properties, then the listing you want to share.
- 3In the left menu, click Calendar, then choose Calendar sync (iCal).
- 4Next to Export your Guesty calendar, click Export Guesty calendar.
- 5Create the link under Guesty iCalendar link, then copy it.
Tip: Guesty makes one link per listing. Repeat the steps for each property.
Step 2: Paste the link into SheetDay
SheetDay is the bridge between Guesty and your cleaner. It reads your calendar link every hour and turns it into one simple page made for cleaning.
- 1Start a free trial and click Add property.
- 2Paste the link into Booking calendar link. Repeat for each property.
- 3Open Cleaner link and tap Send as text message, or copy the link and send it any way you like.
What your cleaner sees
- One link that opens on any phone. No app, account or password.
- All bookings in one calendar and one list of cleaning dates.
- Same-day turnovers are highlighted so nothing gets missed.
- Reminder emails go out the day before each checkout, to you and, if you like, to your cleaner.
- Your cleaner can switch the page to Spanish.
My experience
Guest details stay private
Your Guesty calendar link can include reservation details. SheetDay reads only the dates. Guest names, contact details and prices are never stored or shown to your cleaner.
