What a turnover costs
A turnover is $45 per hour with a 3 hour minimum, which puts the starting price at $135 per reset. Turnovers are timed to your bookings, so the clean happens between check-out and the next check-in rather than on a fixed schedule.
Standard Clean
2.5 hour minimum
Deep Clean
3 hour minimum
Airbnb Turnover
3 hour minimum
A turnover is closer in depth to a deep clean than to a standard clean. Guests notice detail, and a missed corner is the kind of thing that ends up in a review.
The rate matching the deep clean rate is deliberate. A turnover reaches the same detail a deep clean does, only on a tighter clock and with linens and staging on top. A very large property may run past the minimum on hours.
Every turnover also includes a restocking essentials check. Anything running low is flagged back to you, so it does not reach the next guest.
What a turnover includes
- A guest-ready deep clean of every room
- Fresh linens and towel staging
- Kitchen and bathroom fully sanitized
- A restocking essentials check
- Floors vacuumed and mopped throughout
- Surfaces wiped and disinfected, bins emptied and lined
Everything is reset to the same standard every time, so the property a guest walks into matches the photos they booked from.
A turnover is not a standard clean with fresh sheets dropped on the beds. The kitchen and bathrooms are sanitized to a deep clean standard, not wiped over.
Why turnovers run late
Back-to-back bookings
The tightest window is a same-day changeover. When check-out and check-in sit only a few hours apart, the reset has to start the moment the guest leaves.
A guest who leaves late
A late check-out pushes everything back. A turnover booked for about 4 hours still needs those hours before the next arrival.
Linens and laundry
Sandy launders the linens as part of the turnover, and washing, drying and staging take real time, especially in a home with several beds and bathrooms. It is a large part of why a turnover runs about 4 hours rather than the 3 hour minimum.
Restocking surprises
Running out of paper goods or cleaning supplies is easy to miss until the reset is underway. A restocking check catches it before the next guest does.
A pet stay or a gathering
A booking with pets or a small event takes longer to reset. Pet hair in upholstery, extra glass and dishes, and a kitchen that saw real use are the usual reasons.
None of these are anyone's fault, and all of them are predictable. The fix is a realistic window between bookings and a cleaner who is watching your calendar rather than working to a fixed appointment.
How long a turnover really takes
Sandy schedules about 4 hours for a typical turnover. The 3 hour minimum is the floor a booking bills at, not the usual length, so most turnovers run past it. A larger home or a lake property with more beds and glass takes longer again.
The work is timed around your calendar, and same-day turnovers are available. The practical rule is simple: the earlier the check-out and the later the check-in, the more comfortable the window.
About 4 hours is the working number for a typical property. A Chestermere lake house with several bedrooms, a lot of glass and an outdoor area takes longer, and that is quoted before the first turnover rather than discovered on the day.
Turnovers are booked the same way anywhere in the service area, and the schedule is set from your booking calendar rather than a fixed weekday.
What hosts should have ready
Have linens and towels available, and let Sandy know where they are kept. Sandy handles the linen laundry herself as part of the turnover, so you do not need to arrange a service or swap sets between guests. If you want a specific staging standard for beds and bathrooms, say so once and it stays the same on every visit. A restocking essentials check is part of every turnover, so anything running low is flagged back to you.
Two other things help. A clear check-out time in your listing protects the window, and a quick note about anything a guest has flagged gives the turnover a clean start instead of a surprise.
