A manager with many units has a timing problem, not just a cleaning problem. Each unit has a move-out date and a new tenant. The gap between them can be short. This post shows how to handle that gap.
A Turnover Clean Is Not a Regular Clean
A turnover clean is a move-out clean. The home is empty, so we can clean inside the cabinets and appliances. For a manager, what matters most is getting the same clean at every address.
Why the Same Standard Matters
If one unit is cleaned well and the next one is not, you will hear about it. New tenants complain. Deposit talks get harder. Someone has to visit and check. Use one scope for every turnover. Then every unit is judged the same way.
What a Turnover Clean Covers
- Everything in a Deep Clean, which is a harder scrub than a Standard Clean.
- Inside the cabinets and appliances, when they are empty.
- Floors vacuumed and mopped.
- Trash emptied. One bag is included.
If something is full, we clean around it. Anything beyond this list is an add-on. See the move-out cleaning page for the full list.
Plan Around the Vacancy Window
Timing is usually the hard part. The old tenant leaves, you check, and the new tenant arrives soon after. Book the clean before the old tenant even leaves. Then the unit doesn’t sit empty and wait. If you have several units, make cleaning booking one of your standard steps.
One Provider Beats a New One Each Time
If you use the same company each time, you have one contact and one scope. You don’t have to explain what you want again. Price depends on unit size. Move-out cleaning starts at $285+ for a studio, $295+ for a 1BR, and $345+ for a 2BR.
Leasing Offices and Shared Spaces
Some managers also book office cleaning for a leasing office or a shared room. The same rule applies. Pick one scope and use it the same way each time.
