How Often Should a Short-Term Rental Get a Deep Clean?

A turnover resets the home between guests. A deep clean catches what turnovers do not. There is no single right schedule, but there is a good way to decide.

What a deep clean covers

  • Inside appliances: oven, refrigerator, dishwasher filter.
  • Baseboards, vents, light fixtures and ceiling fans.
  • Behind and under furniture, and mattress and sofa care.
  • Grout, shower tracks and window tracks.
  • Closets, drawers and cabinets.

How to set the schedule

A busy, high-turnover home needs deep cleans more often than a lightly booked one. Many hosts schedule one every few months and add one before a busy season. Use your own reviews as a guide: if guests start mentioning dust or smells, you are overdue.

Book it in quiet periods

Deep cleans take longer, so place them in a gap between bookings and post the job with extra time. Tell the cleaner it is a deep clean when you post so they can price it correctly.
