Airbnb Turnover Cleaning Built Around Your Property
Airbnb turnover cleaning is the cleaning done between guest stays to return a short term rental to the condition you want for the next arrival. It applies to Airbnb, VRBO and other vacation rentals, and it is a different job from regular house cleaning. A recurring home cleaning works through a lived in space on a steady schedule. A turnover works against a deadline, usually the gap between your checkout time and the next check in time, and it has to cover the details a new guest will notice within minutes of walking in.
For that reason we build each turnover plan around the individual property instead of a one size template. MJM can personalize cleaning plans around your home, your layout and your priorities, so a four bedroom lake house with a mudroom is planned differently from a one bedroom condo.
What Is Included in an Airbnb Turnover?
A turnover covers the guest facing areas of the rental, from the front door to the bedrooms. The exact scope is agreed with each host, and the areas below are where attention goes.
Kitchen
Kitchens get the closest inspection because guests cook, store food and leave residue. A turnover typically includes wiping counters, the sink and faucet, the stovetop, the inside of the microwave and the outside of appliances, plus cabinet fronts and the area around the trash and recycling, where food residue tends to build up. Anything specific to your kitchen, such as a coffee station or a delicate finish, can be written into your checklist.
Bathrooms
Bathrooms are where small misses show up fastest. Hair in the shower, marks on the toilet and water spots on fixtures and mirrors are the kinds of details hosts notice first. Showers, tubs, toilets, sinks, mirrors and floors are cleaned and checked, and your checklist can add steps for particular fixtures, glass or tile.
Bedrooms
Bedrooms involve nightstands, dressers, floors and the areas around and under the beds. Bedding is also where stray hair and marks are easiest to miss, so how bedding is handled should be settled before your first turnover. Sheet changes and bed making are covered in the linen section below.
Living Areas
Living rooms and shared spaces get dusting, wiping of tables and hard surfaces, and vacuuming or mopping of floors.
Entryways and Floors
Entryways and floors carry the most wear between guests. In winter, snow, moisture and road salt come in on boots and leave residue on mats and hard floors. In warmer months, guests moving between the deck, the yard and the lake bring in dirt, sand and grass. If your rental has hardwood, tile, area rugs or a mudroom, tell us so the plan reflects the surfaces we will actually be cleaning.
Your Property Specific Turnover Checklist
The most common worry hosts have about handing off turnovers is whether a cleaner will prepare the rental the way they would. A generic routine rarely does that. A checklist only helps if it is specific and if someone is checking against it.
MJM uses detailed cleaning checklists and quality checks as part of its general approach, and for short term rentals we start from your instructions. If you already have a turnover checklist, send it. If you do not, describe how you want each room to look when a guest arrives and we will turn that into a written checklist for your property. After the first few turnovers, review it with us and adjust anything that is not working, so the checklist stays accurate as your rental changes.
Laundry and Linens: What Hosts Should Confirm
Linens cause more confusion than almost any other part of a turnover, and the answer differs from one host to the next. Before your first clean, settle these questions with MJM so nobody assumes the wrong thing.
- Who washes the sheets and towels, and where is the laundry done?
- Are fresh linens already staged at the property, or do sheets need to be changed from a spare set?
- Who makes the beds, and how should they be finished?
- How should towels be folded, hung or stocked in the bathrooms?
- What should happen to linens that are stained or damaged?
Many hosts keep more than one full set of linens so a turnover is never held up waiting for a wash cycle. Whatever system you use, discuss it with MJM when setting up your service so the scope can be confirmed in writing before the first turnover.
Restocking and Guest Supplies
Guest supplies such as toilet paper, paper towels, soap, trash bags, coffee and cleaning basics run low quickly in a busy rental. Decide ahead of time who tracks the inventory, where supplies are stored, what the par level is for each item, and how you want low stock communicated.
Some hosts handle restocking themselves and others want it built into the turnover. Discuss your expectations with MJM when setting up your service so the scope can be confirmed, and keep supplies in one labeled spot so they are easy to find on turnover day.
Planning Back to Back Turnovers
MJM offers same day turnovers, and a same day turnover is a scheduling question first. The cleaning team needs to know when the departing guest is due out, when the next guest is due in, and how much time sits between the two. That gap is your turnover window, and it determines how much can be done and how the visit should be planned.
When you request a quote, give us both your standard checkout time and your standard check in time, along with how often your bookings run back to back. Tell us what happens when a guest asks for a late checkout or an early arrival, since those requests shrink the window.
Access matters just as much as timing, so share how the team gets in, whether that is a lockbox, smart lock or a host who meets us at the door, and confirm the details ahead of each visit. Sending your booking schedule as far in advance as you can makes it much easier to plan the turnovers around it.
What Happens When a Guest Leaves a Bigger Mess?
Some stays leave a property in much worse shape than a normal checkout, with heavy food and drink spills, pet hair, extra trash, or a party worth of cleanup.
The practical answer is to agree on a process in advance. Decide how you want to be told when a cleaner finds a property in unusual condition, whether additional cleaning will be quoted before the work starts or approved on the spot, and how you want to handle damage or missing items so you have what you need for your own records and any guest follow up. Settling this before it happens keeps a bad checkout from turning into a missed check in.
Airbnb Turnover Cleaning vs Deep Cleaning
Turnover cleaning and deep cleaning serve different purposes. A turnover is a repeatable reset done between guests to keep the rental guest ready. A deep clean goes further into the areas a turnover does not reach on every visit, such as baseboards, inside appliances, detailed work on grout and fixtures, and buildup that accumulates over weeks or months.
Most rentals benefit from both. Turnovers keep the property in rhythm with your bookings, and an occasional deep cleaning catches what builds up between them. If a property has been neglected, has changed hands, or is coming back from a long vacancy, a deep clean first gives your turnovers a clean starting point.
What Affects Airbnb Cleaning Cost?
Airbnb cleaning cost depends on the property and the scope, not a flat rate. The main factors are the size of the property and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the number of beds to be prepared, how long the turnover window is, how often you have turnovers, and the condition the rental is usually left in. Extra tasks such as linen handling, restocking, special surfaces and a detailed checklist also change the time a turnover takes.
Because every rental is different, the most accurate way to get a price is to describe your property and your turnover needs. A quote built from the details below will match the real work far better than a number given over the phone for a generic rental.
How to Prepare for Your First MJM Turnover
A smooth first turnover starts with a short handoff. Before the first clean, have the following ready.
Property location and square footage if you know it
Number of bedrooms, bathrooms and beds
Your checkout time and next check in time
How often bookings run back to back
Your cleaning priorities and any room by room instructions
Special surfaces, such as natural stone, hardwood, stainless steel or delicate finishes
Property access instructions
Your expectations for linens, laundry and guest supplies
A place to store cleaning supplies, if you want them kept on site
Tell us about anything fragile or off limits, and mark where spare linens and supplies are kept.
Airbnb Cleaning in Wayzata and the Lake Minnetonka Area
Wayzata is MJM’s home market, and we also work in Minnetonka and Eden Prairie, with additional service in Plymouth, Maple Grove, Orono, Medina and Dayton. Rentals in this area range from in town condos and homes to larger lake properties that are used seasonally, and the turnover needs are not the same.
Minnesota conditions add their own considerations. Winter brings snow, moisture and road salt into entryways and onto floors. Summer brings guests moving between indoor space, decks and the water. We plan around those patterns for each property.
If your rental is in Minnetonka or Eden Prairie, see our Minnetonka cleaning page or Eden Prairie cleaning page, and if you also need regular upkeep for your own home, we offer house cleaning in Wayzata as well as move in and move out cleaning.
Why Choose MJM

Our team is background checked, which matters when you are giving people access to a rental. MJM offers same day turnovers, and we back our Airbnb cleaning with a 24 hour reclean guarantee, so if something was missed, tell us and we will come back to fix it.
Our philosophy is to treat clients and their homes the way we would want to be treated, and for a host that means a turnover plan that matches how you want your rental presented, and more time for family, work and everything else on your list. You can read more about MJM before you reach out.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about Airbnb cleaning? Find quick answers about turnovers, linens, supplies, same day scheduling and pricing for short term rentals in Wayzata and nearby areas.
What is included in Airbnb turnover cleaning?
A turnover resets the guest facing areas of your rental between stays, including the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, entryways and floors. The exact scope follows your property specific checklist. Tasks like laundry, bed making and restocking are not assumed, so confirm them with MJM when setting up your service and we will agree on them before your first turnover.
Can cleaners handle a same day checkout and check in?
Yes, MJM offers same day turnovers. What makes them work is the turnover window, meaning the time between your guest’s checkout and the next check in. Share both times, how often your bookings run back to back and how we get into the property, and we will plan the visit around that window and confirm the details before each turnover.
Does Airbnb cleaning include laundry, sheets and towels?
It depends on the arrangement, and it should be agreed up front. Decide who washes linens, where, whether spare sets are staged and who makes the beds. Discuss your linen expectations with MJM when setting up your service so the scope can be confirmed in writing. Many hosts keep extra linen sets so turnovers are not delayed waiting on laundry.
Can a cleaner follow my property's own turnover checklist?
Yes. A property specific checklist is the best way to keep every turnover consistent, and MJM builds its plans around your instructions. Send your own checklist if you have one, or describe how you want each room to look and we will turn that into a written list. Review it after the first few turnovers and adjust anything that needs to change.
Can guest supplies be checked or restocked?
Whether supplies are checked or restocked is something to agree on before your first turnover. Decide who tracks inventory, where supplies are stored and what level you want kept on hand. Discuss your supply expectations with MJM when setting up your service so the scope can be confirmed, and keep everything in one labeled spot so it is easy to find.
What happens if a guest leaves an unusually large mess?
A standard turnover is scoped for a normal stay, so a much bigger mess can need more time than planned. Agree in advance how you want to be told, whether extra cleaning is quoted before the work starts, and how damage or missing items should be communicated to you. Setting that process early helps keep a bad checkout from becoming a missed check in.
What is the difference between Airbnb turnover cleaning and deep cleaning?
Turnover cleaning is a repeatable reset between guests that keeps the rental guest ready. Deep cleaning goes further into areas a turnover does not cover every visit, such as baseboards, inside appliances, grout, fixtures and built up grime. Most rentals benefit from both, with regular turnovers and an occasional deep clean to catch what accumulates.
How much does Airbnb cleaning cost in Wayzata?
Cost depends on your property and scope, not a flat rate. The main factors are size, bedrooms, bathrooms and beds, the length of your turnover window, how often you have turnovers, the usual condition of the rental, and extras such as linen handling or restocking. Send us your property details and turnover needs and we will provide a quote based on the real work involved.
