What turnover cleaning covers
The scope adjusts to the property’s size, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the time available between checkouts and arrivals. Each visit focuses on the areas guests notice first and use most.
Kitchen
A clean kitchen shapes the first impression of the rental. Guests check counters, the stovetop, and the sink within minutes of arrival.
Kitchen tasks typically include:
- Wiping countertops and all accessible surfaces
- Cleaning sinks and faucets
- Cleaning stovetop surfaces
- Wiping exterior appliance surfaces
- Wiping tables and dining areas
- Removing crumbs and visible residue
- Taking out trash and replacing bags
- Vacuuming or mopping floors
Bathrooms
Bathrooms are among the most reviewed areas in short-term rental guest feedback. Residue, hair, or staining left from a previous stay directly affects the property’s rating.
Bathroom tasks typically include:
- Cleaning sinks, counters, and mirrors
- Scrubbing toilets, tubs, and showers
- Wiping fixtures and accessible surfaces
- Replacing trash bags
- Vacuuming and mopping floors
- Checking for residue in grout and tile
Bedrooms
Bedrooms should feel organized and neutral, ready for the incoming guest without signs of previous occupancy.
Bedroom tasks typically include making beds when linens are available, dusting accessible surfaces, vacuuming floors, checking nightstands and visible surfaces, and removing any items left behind.
If laundry, linen changes, or ironing are needed as part of the turnover, additional services in Martha’s Vineyard can be added to the plan.
Living areas and final walkthrough
Common areas, entryways, hallways, and living rooms complete the guest’s first impression. The final walkthrough covers these spaces and confirms the property is ready before the next arrival.
Tasks include:
- Dusting accessible surfaces
- Vacuuming rugs and carpets
- Mopping hard floors
- Wiping high-touch surfaces
- Straightening common areas
- Removing trash throughout
- Final check of entry areas and visible details
Who this service is right for
Turnover cleaning is built for properties that host short-term guests and need consistent preparation between stays.
It is a good fit for:
- Vacation rental owners with back-to-back bookings
- Airbnb and VRBO hosts during peak season
- Property managers overseeing multiple units
- Off-island owners who cannot inspect between stays
- Seasonal rental homes with high guest traffic
Martha’s Vineyard’s rental market runs on tight summer schedules. Same-day turnovers between a morning checkout and an afternoon arrival are common, and the property needs to meet guest expectations every time.
Our Happy Customers
Turnover cleaning and rental performance
Cleanliness is consistently one of the top factors in short-term rental reviews. The Vacation Rental Management Association identifies cleanliness standards as a core element of professional vacation rental hospitality, alongside communication and property condition. A single poor review citing cleanliness can affect booking rates for the following season.
For Martha’s Vineyard properties, where summer bookings are often reserved months in advance and repeat guests return year after year, maintaining a consistent standard between every stay protects both the property’s reputation and the owner’s revenue.
Support for off-island owners
Many Martha’s Vineyard rental owners live off-island and rely on local partners to manage the property between stays. ICP Cleaning works directly with owners and property managers to coordinate schedules, confirm completion, and flag any issues observed during the visit, such as damage, missing items, or maintenance concerns.
This makes turnover cleaning part of a broader property management routine, not just a cleaning appointment.
