Plain-English answers to the questions hosts, landlords and business owners ask before they hire a cleaning company.
Call us today615-761-9334Turnover Clean or Deep Clean?
A turnover clean resets a rental between guests: beds, bathrooms, kitchen, floors and staging. A deep clean adds detail work such as grout, baseboards, appliance interiors, vents and fixtures.
Most hosts do turnovers every stay and a deep clean each season or after a rough stay.
What a Good Airbnb Turnover Covers
Strip and remake beds, replace towels, wipe every surface, clean bathrooms and the kitchen, vacuum and mop, empty trash, restock supplies and stage the home to match your photos.
Our Cleaning Checklist Builder makes a printable list for your property.
How Many Linen Sets Do You Need?
Many hosts keep three sets per bed: one on the bed, one in the wash and one on the shelf. Towels follow the same rule, scaled to your guest count.
Our Linen and Supply Calculator shows the numbers for your home.
Planning Tight Turnover Windows
Start laundry first, clean high to low and back to front, and finish with floors and a final walk-through. The longest tasks go first.
Our Turnover Timeline Planner shows how a window looks for your home.
Move-Out Cleaning vs Make-Ready
Move-out cleaning is done after a tenant leaves, with the inside of cabinets and appliances. Make-ready comes after repairs and paint, to remove dust and residue before showings.
Many units need both.
Rough, Final and Touch-Up Construction Cleans
A rough clean clears debris and heavy dust during construction. A final clean is the detailed clean, top to bottom. A touch-up catches fingerprints and dust before the walkthrough.
Our Construction Cleanup Quote Planner helps map the stages.
What Janitorial Service Includes
Nightly or daily tasks such as trash, restrooms, floors, kitchens and desks, plus weekly and monthly tasks like glass, baseboards, vents and detail work.
A good scope is written down, so everyone knows what is included.
Janitorial vs Day Porter
Janitorial service usually cleans after hours. A day porter keeps restrooms, lobbies and breakrooms tidy during business hours. Many buildings use both.
We can set up either or both.
Gentler Products and Sensitive Guests
Some guests and teams prefer fewer fragrances and gentler products. We can use products you choose and follow the label.
We do not make certification claims.
Working With Owners and Access
Owners visit, lock systems vary and schedules change. We plan around owner stays and work with smart locks and lockboxes.
Clear communication keeps everything on track.
Choosing a Cleaning Company
Ask whether they are licensed and insured, how they handle access and keys, what is in the scope, how they report back and what happens if something is missed. Be wary of vague quotes.
A good company writes it down and shows you.
