What this sheet is for
Run the same changeover every time, and catch damage before the next guest arrives and it becomes untraceable.
Who it is for
Holiday let owners, short-term rental hosts and changeover cleaners.
How to use it
- Walk and photograph every room before cleaning starts — that is the damage record.
- Work in the printed order so nothing is missed under time pressure.
- Check inventory against your list.
- Photograph each room as left, before locking up.
What is on the sheet
The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.

One new sheet, most weeks
We are building this library out steadily. Leave an address and we will send the new sheets as they are finished — nothing else, and no more than one email a week.
Sign-up is not live yet — we have not connected an email provider, so this form is switched off rather than quietly collecting addresses.
