  • Problems

    ❌ Guest says property wasn’t clean

    ❌ Cleaner says they finished

    ❌ No timestamped proof

    ❌ Refunds, stress, bad reviews

  • With QR Verification

    ✅ Cleaner scans QR when finished

    ✅ Time + location automatically logged

    ✅ Photo proof attached

    ✅ Clear record for disputes

No apps. No training. Just scan > verified > logged.

How It Works

We provide a QR code for each property and you place it inside (e.g kitchen or hallway).

Set up once. Use forever.

Cleaner finishes cleaning and scans the QR code to upload photo proof.


No app. No login. Takes under 60 seconds.

As soon as the QR is scanned, host receives instant confirmation with timestamp & location.

If no QR scan within timeframe - host receives warning SMS alert.

You know the property is ready - before guests arrived.

Every scan immediately saves securely and creates a permanent record:

  • Time & date
  • Property
  • Location
  • Photos

Clear proof if a guest ever disputes cleanliness.

AVA-STEP is independent cleanliness verification, not an Airbnb listing or identity verification service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use AVA-STEP if I already use Airbnb or property management software?

Most booking or optimisation software manages calendars, pricing, and messaging.

AVA-STEP does something different.

It confirms what actually happened inside the property - providing timestamped photo proof that the clean was completed before guest arrival.

It doesn’t replace your existing tools.

It adds accountability and peace of mind where most systems stop.

What proof do I actually receive after a clean?

Every verified clean includes:

  • Timestamped photos taken at the property
  • Date and time of submission
  • Property reference linked to your QR code

This gives you documented evidence of the condition of your property shortly before check-in - stored securely and accessible whenever you need it.

What happens if a cleaner doesn’t show up or forgets to scan?

If a clean isn’t verified, you’ll know.

Many hosts use AVA-STEP as an early warning system.

If no scan is received, you can follow up immediately - arrange a replacement clean or delay check-in before it becomes a guest issue.

It turns missed cleans from surprises into manageable situations.

Can this help if a guest falsely claims the property wasn’t clean?

Yes.

AVA-STEP provides timestamped photographic evidence taken shortly before check-in. While platform decisions vary, having documented proof significantly strengthens your position in disputes regarding cleanliness.

Instead of relying on memory or messages, you have evidence.

Is this just another complex SaaS system?

No.

AVA-STEP is intentionally simple.

  • No app required for cleaners
  • No complicated onboarding
  • No integration headaches
  • Works alongside Airbnb or any PMS

Cleaners scan a QR code. You receive proof. That’s it.

Never worry if your property is guest-ready again.
