Airbnb/Turnover Cleaning

Every Airbnb turnover clean covers the four zones guests judge first: the bathroom, the kitchen, the bedrooms, and the common areas. Our checklist is built for turnovers between bookings, not for surface dusting. We sanitize toilets, sinks, faucets, tubs, and showers; wash mirrors and glass; wipe door handles, light switches, and door frames; dust every reachable surface; vacuum and mop floors; make the beds; and take out the trash. Kitchen work includes countertops and tabletops, the sink and faucet, the microwave inside and out, the outside of appliances, the backsplash, the range hood, and the cupboard fronts. Bathrooms get the full treatment: a scrubbed tub, a sanitized toilet, shined fixtures, and clean mirrors and cabinet exteriors. Vents and fans are wiped, baseboards are dusted, and window sills and frames are cleaned so the light comes in clean. Every clean ends with a walk-through against the checklist, so nothing is left to memory on a busy day.

All supplies are included at no additional cost, so you never have to stock a cleaning caddy or chase a receipt. For units that need more, add-ons cover the inside of the oven, the inside of the fridge, inside cabinets, interior windows and tracks, laundry and fold, loading the dishwasher, wet-wiping baseboards, and cleaning interior walls. You know exactly what is covered before your cleaner arrives.

Your booking calendar does not pause, so your turnovers are planned around it. Add your check-out and check-in times to your booking, then choose your time from the open slots on the booking form, online 24/7. Your arrival window comes with your confirmation email. Call us any time, 24/7, for anything you would like to talk through, and changes are free with 48 hours’ notice.

Guests do not review the cleaning; they review the arrival. That is why our standard goes past sanitized surfaces to presentation. Beds are made, pillows are fluffed, and small objects are tidied so the unit photographs well and feels welcoming. Fresh towels are folded and hung, the soap dish is wiped dry, and the trash is bagged and removed before the door closes. With laundry added to your booking, linens and towels are laundered on site using your washer and dryer, so you control the detergent and the schedule. Restocking is available on request: coffee, toilet paper, paper towel, toiletries, and any other consumables you want replaced, either from supplies you leave in the unit or as an added service. Every detail is checked against the list before your cleaner locks the door, because the last five minutes of a turnover decide the first impression of a stay.

Many of the hosts we work with never see their units between guests, and several manage more than one listing. That is exactly the situation our process is built for. Every cleaner is background-checked and trained before working alone, and we follow strict protocols for keys and alarm codes, including a log of every entry and exit. If your unit is in a condo, we follow the building’s entry rules and sign-in procedures the same way every visit. After each clean we can send photos or a detailed report, so you can verify the unit is guest-ready from anywhere in the world. For portfolios of multiple properties, we use the same checklist across all your listings, so the standard does not drift from unit to unit.

Turnovers are where property issues surface: a broken lamp, a stained duvet, a forgotten phone charger. Your cleaner reports what they find, so you can decide on guest claims before the next check-in. Lost and found items are collected and handled per your instructions. Toronto Shine Cleaning carries $5,000,000 liability insurance, and if we missed anything, tell us within 24 hours of your clean and we’ll come back to re-clean it, at no cost.

Even a perfect turnover cannot fix what a season of guests accumulates: grease behind the stove, grime inside the oven, dust in the vents, soap scum that has settled into the grout. A monthly or quarterly deep cleaning keeps the unit at the standard your reviews promise. Our deep cleaning service takes care of that build-up, and add-ons cover the inside of the oven, fridge and cabinets, interior windows, and interior walls. For a brand-new listing, a reset after a long stay, or the changeover from one primary guest to the next, our move-in/move-out cleaning handles the top-to-bottom reset. Pair either with your regular turnover schedule and the unit stays in listing-photo condition all year. For a step-by-step look at how a professional turnover is run, our blog guide to turnover cleaning walks through the full sequence.

Cleaning is a line item in your hosting margin, so you see your price upfront, based on your property’s size, how often you book, and any add-ons. Our base rates, before HST, start at $194 for a studio or one-bedroom unit under 600 sq ft for a turnover or regular clean, $259 for a deep clean, and $224 for move-in/move-out. Larger units scale from there: $428 for a four-bedroom, three-bath turnover, and the booking form prices bigger homes. Save up to 15% with a recurring plan, and supplies are included in every rate at no additional cost.

Because every short-term rental is different, linen loads, restock lists, and unit conditions vary: add laundry as an extra, and put your restock list and anything about the unit’s condition in your booking notes. Your total appears in the booking form before you book, with the base rate, add-ons, and any recurring saving applied. Managing several listings or an unusual layout?
