Why Rental Properties Need Specialized Cleaning
Managing rentals is different from maintaining your own home. The stakes are higher and the timelines are tighter.
When a tenant moves out or a guest checks out, you’ve got a narrow window to get the property cleaned, photographed, and ready for the next occupant. Every day the property sits empty is lost income. You need a cleaning team that understands urgency without sacrificing quality.
Then there’s the wear and tear factor. Rental properties get used harder than owner-occupied homes. Multiple people coming and going means more dirt, more mess, and more frequent deep cleaning needs. Kitchen appliances see heavy use. Bathrooms need constant attention. Floors take a beating from different tenants with different standards.
Guest expectations have changed too. With vacation rentals, people expect hotel-level cleanliness. They’re reading reviews before they book. One complaint about cleanliness can tank your ratings and cost you future bookings. The bar is high, and there’s no room for cutting corners.
Property managers juggling multiple units need reliability above everything else. You can’t be chasing down cleaning companies that don’t show up or do half the job. You need a partner who treats your properties like you do, because your reputation depends on it.
We’ve built our rental property service around these realities. Fast response times, thorough cleaning, and consistent results you can count on.
What to Expect With Our Rental Cleanings
We follow a detailed, room-by-room standard process to ensure every cleaning is done the right way, every time.
Our two-person teams arrive professionally dressed, prepared with all the necessary supplies (or use yours, if preferred), and start with a clear plan: one cleaner tackles bathrooms and kitchen while the other starts on living/dining and bedrooms. The goal is always an efficient, thorough clean without stepping on each other’s toes or yours.
We start with dusting the entire space and sanitizing surfaces, then sweeping, vacuuming, and finishing with a thorough mopping to leave your home spotless. This method ensures every corner gets the attention it deserves. We also ensure to make beds, empty trash bins, and tidy up spaces.

Types of Rentals We Clean
Whether you need a one-time deep clean, specific areas needing attention, or regular upkeep, we’ve got you covered. In addition to family homes, we service all kinds of residential properties.
Single-Family Homes
Traditional single-family rental homes are our bread and butter. These properties range from small bungalows to larger suburban homes with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. We adjust our approach based on the property’s size and condition, but the goal is always the same: get it clean and ready for the next tenant.
Multi-Unit Properties
If you own a duplex, triplex, or small apartment building, we can service all units efficiently. Managing multiple turnovers at once? We’ll coordinate scheduling to handle them all within your timeline. Volume pricing is available for property managers with multiple units.
Townhomes & Condos
Rental townhomes and condos have their own characteristics. Multiple levels, attached garages, HOA common areas nearby. We’re familiar with these property types and adjust our cleaning approach accordingly.
Corporate Housing & Executive Rentals
Furnished rentals for corporate clients or executives often include cleaning as part of the lease. These properties need regular maintenance to stay in top condition. We provide discreet, professional service that keeps the property looking great without disrupting occupants.
Rental Cleaning Services We Offer
Whether you’re a busy professional, a family in a compact space, or managing rental properties, we offer rental cleaning services that adapt to your lifestyle and budget. Our flexible scheduling and customized plans mean you get exactly the cleaning you need, when you need it.
Move-Out Turnover Cleaning
When a tenant moves out, you need the property ready to show as quickly as possible. Our move-out cleaning covers everything prospective tenants will notice: sparkling kitchens, sanitized bathrooms, clean floors throughout, dusted surfaces, and all the details that make a rental feel fresh and well-maintained.
We follow comprehensive checklists that cover inside appliances, baseboards, light fixtures, windows, and more. The goal is simple: make your property show-ready so you can start touring prospective tenants immediately. Fast turnarounds mean less vacancy and more rental income.
Most property managers call us as soon as a tenant gives notice. We get on the calendar for move-out day, and the property is ready to show within 24-48 hours. That speed makes a real difference in minimizing vacancy periods.
Move-In Cleaning
Before new tenants arrive, we make sure they’re walking into a spotless space. It sets the right tone from day one and helps you start the landlord-tenant relationship on a positive note.
Move-in cleaning is typically lighter than move-out since the property should already be clean. But we still do a thorough pass to ensure everything is perfect: fresh bathrooms, clean kitchen, dust-free surfaces, and spotless floors. Your new tenants will appreciate the attention to detail.
Deep Cleaning & Property Rehabilitation
Sometimes a rental property needs more than standard turnover cleaning. Maybe a tenant left it in rough shape. Maybe it’s been vacant for a while and needs a complete refresh. Or maybe you’re preparing to list it for sale after years of rental use.
Our deep cleaning service tackles these situations. We’re talking about scrubbing built-up grime, detailed appliance cleaning, grout restoration, and bringing a property back to its best condition. It takes more time and effort than standard turnover cleaning, but the results make a real difference in how quickly you can rent or sell.
Regular Cleaning for Occupied Rentals
Some landlords provide cleaning services as part of long-term leases, especially for higher-end properties or furnished rentals. We offer recurring cleaning for occupied rental homes on whatever schedule makes sense: weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.
This keeps properties in better condition between tenants. Regular professional cleaning reduces wear and tear, catches maintenance issues early, and keeps tenants happier. It’s particularly common for corporate housing and executive rentals where cleaning is included as an amenity.
Pre-Listing Cleaning for Sale
If you’re selling a rental property, professional cleaning helps it show better and photograph better. We’ve cleaned plenty of homes right before they go on the market. Clean properties sell faster and often command higher prices. It’s one of the best investments you can make before listing.

How Rental Property Cleaning Pricing Works
Pricing for rental properties is straightforward. We charge flat rates based on property size and cleaning type. You’ll know the cost before we start, which makes it easy to factor cleaning into your rental expenses.
Standard turnover cleaning for a typical three-bedroom house runs $150-250, depending on size and condition. Smaller homes cost less. Larger properties or homes that need extra attention cost more.
Volume pricing is available for property managers with multiple units. The more properties you need cleaned regularly, the better per-unit rate we can offer. We want to be your long-term partner, not just a one-off service.
Free quotes are available. Call us at (847) 440-1423 or request a quote online. We’ll ask about your unit sizes, what type of cleaning you need, and how often you want service. Then we’ll give you an exact price.
