AirBnB/Turnover Cleaning

Between one guest walking out the door and the next one walking in, you get a few hours to protect your rating. A smudged mirror, a half-empty shampoo bottle, or a crumb on the counter can turn a five-star stay into a four-star complaint, and a string of those complaints quietly pushes your listing down the search results. Toronto Shine Cleaning runs turnover cleans for short-term rental hosts across Toronto and the GTA: same-day service, a documented checklist, and a photo-ready standard designed to make every check-in feel like the first one.

The Host-Grade Standard: What Every Turnover Clean Includes

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 short windows 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, fans, and baseboards are wiped, 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. We also keep the scope honest: we do not move heavy furniture, clean carpets, steam-clean, polish hardwood floors, remove mold, pet waste, or bodily fluids, or work outdoors. You know exactly what is covered before the team arrives, which matters when your next guest is two hours out.

Turnaround Speed: Same-Day Turnovers and Punctual Arrivals

Your booking calendar does not pause, and neither does our schedule. We offer same-day turnover service, so a morning check-out can become an afternoon check-in. When you book, we confirm a one-hour arrival window and schedule the clean between your stated check-out and check-in times. If a guest runs late or a check-in moves up, tell us and we adjust wherever the schedule allows. For last-minute bookings, back-to-back turnovers, or emergency situations, our office line is open around the clock and we will do everything possible to fit you in. We ask for 48 hours notice to change or cancel a scheduled clean, which keeps the calendar reliable for every host on it.

Photo-Ready Presentation: Linens, Restocking, and the Finishing Touches

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. 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. For guests with sensitivities, we clean with eco-friendly products on request. Every detail is checked against the list before the team locks the door, because the last five minutes of a turnover decide the first impression of a stay.

Built for Remote and Multi-Property Hosts

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. Teams are background-checked and trained before they work 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 keep the same team and the same checklist across all your listings, so the standard does not drift from unit to unit. If you prefer continuity, request the same cleaner each time and we will accommodate it whenever the schedule allows.

Damage, Lost Items, and Incident Reporting

Turnovers are where property issues surface: a broken lamp, a stained duvet, a forgotten phone charger. Our teams document what they find and report it rather than hiding it under a rug. Lost and found items are collected and handled per your instructions, and damage or wear is flagged while the evidence is fresh, so you can decide on guest claims before the next check-in. We are fully insured and bonded, with a $1,000,000 insurance policy and a $10,000 accidental breakage and surety bond, so an accident during a clean is covered. Claims are rare, but the coverage is real, and it is one more reason hosts book with a bonded company instead of an informal arrangement. If anything is not right after we leave, tell us within 24 hours and we re-clean the affected area for free.

Deep Cleans Between Bookings: Protecting Your Rating Long Term

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 adds the interior of appliances, inside cabinets, interior windows and tracks, wet-wiped baseboards, and interior walls to the turnover routine. 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.

Honest Pricing for Host Margins

Cleaning is a line item in your hosting margin, so we price like a business, not like a surprise. Rates are set by property size, frequency, and add-ons, never by the hour. Our published base rates, before HST, start at $212.63 for a studio or one-bedroom unit for a regular clean, $270.38 for a deep clean, and $242.63 for move-in/move-out. Larger units scale from there, up to $406.88 for a four-bedroom regular clean. Recurring schedules save 15% per visit on weekly or bi-weekly bookings and 10% on every-three-week or every-four-week schedules. Supplies are included in every rate at no additional cost.

Because every short-term rental is different, there is no flat published price for turnovers: linen loads, restock lists, and unit conditions vary too much for an honest one-size rate. Your exact total is confirmed instantly in the booking form, which applies the correct base rate, add-ons, and any recurring discount, so the price you see on the pricing page is the price the form starts from. For multi-property portfolios, unusual layouts, or very tight windows between guests, call (647) 424-0355 for a custom quote and we will price the property properly before you commit. You are billed after the service is completed, by credit or debit card.
