The Tucson STR Host's Complete Guide to Turnover Cleaning
Short-term rental guests in Tucson notice the same things every time: the bathroom smell, the kitchen grease ring, the forgotten hair on the shower drain. A 5-star review often comes down to these small moments. This guide covers what to clean at every turnover, how often to schedule a deep clean, and how to budget your cost per turnover.
How Often to Deep Clean an STR
Light-turnover properties need a true deep clean every 3 months. High-booking properties need one every 6 to 8 weeks. A deep clean adds scope like baseboards, ceiling fans, and inside appliances.
Cost Per Turnover: What to Budget
A standard 2-bed Tucson STR turnover clean runs $125 to $175 with most services. A deep clean runs more. Alex's move-in/out pricing starts at $379 and is suited for heavier resets.
The 5-Star Turnover Checklist
- Scrub toilet bowl, seat, base, and behind the tank.
- Clean shower or tub including grout lines and drain cover.
- Wipe bathroom mirror streak-free.
- Clean stovetop, burner grates, and drip pans.
- Wipe refrigerator exterior and check interior for left-behind food.
- Replace or fold towels neatly per host instruction.
- Check all floors for hair, debris, and pet dander.
- Wipe light switches, door handles, and remote controls.
When to Hire Alex's vs. Handle It Yourself
For most Tucson STR hosts, self-cleaning works when bookings are fewer than 6 nights per month. Once bookings exceed that, quality consistency breaks down. Hiring a professional crew ensures every turnover meets the same standard regardless of how many nights you ran the prior week.
Important: full rental turnover management is not offered by Alex's. We do not restock supplies or change linens. That work stays with you or your property manager. What we do is the cleaning itself, done by a 3 to 4 person crew, billed at a flat rate, and finished in one visit. Call (520) 445-1061 to discuss a turnover schedule for your Tucson STR.

Tucson Airbnb Host Cleaning Guide Turnover: What to Know Before Booking FAQ
Do you handle full Airbnb turnover including restocking?
Full rental turnover is not offered. We do not restock supplies or change linens. We provide a thorough cleaning service only.
Can I book a same-day turnover clean for a last-minute guest?
Same-day cleaning is usually not available. It depends on the schedule. Weekends are not available.
What is the difference between a turnover clean and a deep clean?
A turnover clean resets the property for the next guest. A deep clean goes further: baseboards, inside appliances, ceiling fans, and grout. Deep cleans should happen every 1 to 3 months depending on booking volume.
