Your guest checks out at 11. The next one checks in at 4. In between, someone has to strip the beds, reset two bathrooms, restock the toilet paper, and make sure nothing from the last stay got left in a drawer. That’s the real job behind Airbnb cleaning in Moncton, and it’s a different job than a regular house clean.
Here’s what a proper short-term rental turnover includes, and what to expect if you’re hiring it out.
We run STR turnovers across Moncton, Dieppe, Riverview, and Shediac, for single unit owners and PMs juggling more than one unit at a time. Here’s what goes into one, start to finish.
What makes a turnover different from a regular house clean
A recurring home clean happens on your schedule, and if it slides a day, nobody notices. A turnover happens on the guest’s schedule, every single time, with a hard deadline attached. There’s no “we’ll get to the kitchen next visit.” Whatever isn’t done by check-in time is a problem the next guest sees first.
That’s the core difference. A turnover is a full reset done fast, done the same way every time, with someone else’s review score riding on it.
What’s included in a proper Airbnb turnover
A standard turnover should cover the whole unit, not a quick pass through the visible rooms:
- Every bed stripped and remade with fresh linens, hotel-style
- Full bathroom reset: toilet, tub or shower, sink, mirror, floors, towels staged
- Kitchen reset: counters, sink, stovetop, microwave, fridge wipe-down, dishes cleared and put away
- Floors swept, vacuumed, and washed throughout
- Dusting, high-touch surfaces, and trash taken out
- Guest consumables (toilet paper, coffee, toiletries) restocked and the space staged to match the listing photos
Laundry is where a lot of hosts get tripped up. If the unit has an in-unit washer and dryer, we can run a load during the turnover itself. If laundry has to go off-site, that adds time between checkout and check-in, which is exactly what a tight turnover can’t afford. We quote laundry per property so it’s accounted for up front instead of becoming a surprise on the invoice.
We also send a short condition report with photos after every turnover, flagging anything off: a stain that won’t lift, low supplies, something a guest left behind or broke. Hosts and property managers tend to like this part the most, because it means problems get caught before the next guest walks in, not after they leave a review about it.
How much does Airbnb cleaning cost in Moncton?
Short-term rental cleaning is priced per turnover rather than by the hour, since a flat fee is what lets you build the cost straight into your cleaning fee for guests. Across North America in 2026, general market benchmarks for a single turnover typically look like this:
| Unit size | General market range per turnover |
|---|---|
| Studio / 1 bedroom | $75 to $150 |
| 2 bedroom | $100 to $200 |
| 3 bedroom and up | $150 to $350+ |
Those are general benchmarks, not a quote for your property. Your actual rate depends on the unit’s size, how it’s laid out, whether laundry runs on-site or off-site, and how many properties you’re bringing us. Hosts and property managers with more than a couple of regular units usually land on better per-turnover rates, since consistent volume is easier to schedule around.
Because pricing depends on the property, we quote it directly rather than posting one number that wouldn’t be accurate for your unit. Reach out and we’ll walk the space (or review your listing) and confirm a flat per-turnover fee before anything gets booked.
The one rule we don’t bend on
Every property we clean keeps its own vacuum on site. We bring everything else: products, equipment, linens handling, all of it. The vacuum stays behind.
Bedbugs and roaches can travel inside a vacuum from one property to the next, so we ask every host to keep their own vacuum on site as a precaution. It’s a small ask, and it’s the kind of detail that tells you whether a cleaning company has actually thought about what it means to work across multiple properties in one day.
Scheduling built around your checkout calendar, not ours
STR turnovers live or die on timing, so this is what we commit to:
- Same-day checkout-to-check-in turnovers, ready by 4 pm on the turnover day
- Weekend coverage, including the Friday-to-Sunday stretch when most guests check out.
- You share your checkout calendar and we schedule, staff, and confirm every clean. You don’t touch a booking form.
For hosts managing several units, that last part matters most. You approve the calendar once and it runs quietly in the background from there.
If something gets missed
Now and then a guest throws a party, extends a stay, or leaves a unit in worse shape than a standard turnover accounts for. Jobs like that get billed at our deep-clean rate or quoted before we start, so a hard job never gets rushed and the cleaner never gets shorted. We’ll always flag it before it hits your invoice.
And if a turnover misses the mark on a normal day and you catch it within 24 hours, we come back and fix it at no charge. No debate, no second invoice.
Getting your property turnover-ready
A few things make turnovers run smoother on your end:
- – Lockbox or door-code access set up before turnovers begin, so a clean never waits on a key handoff
- – At least two sets of linens per bed, so laundry timing never holds up a turnover
- – Guest consumables (toilet paper, coffee, toiletries, welcome items) supplied by you and restocked by us each visit
Every cleaner we send holds a current police clearance, renewed within the last 12 months, and carries their own liability insurance. Access codes stay with the assigned cleaner and nobody else.
It’s also worth knowing that a chunk of what we do runs on the same mission behind our regular house cleaning business: creating stable, flexible, well-paying work for women who need it. Booking your turnovers with us supports that too.
Frequently asked questions
What is Airbnb turnover cleaning?
It’s the full reset a short-term rental needs between guests: stripping and remaking beds, resetting bathrooms and the kitchen, restocking consumables, and staging the unit to match the listing, all completed before the next check-in.
How much does Airbnb cleaning cost in Moncton?
General market benchmarks run $75 to $150 for a studio or one-bedroom, $100 to $200 for a two-bedroom, and $150 to $350 or more for larger units. Your actual per-turnover rate depends on the property and gets confirmed with a direct quote.
Do you offer same-day turnovers?
Yes. Standard same-day checkout-to-check-in turnovers are ready by 4 pm on the turnover day, including weekends.
Can you handle a portfolio of multiple properties?
Yes. We work with hosts and property managers running anywhere from one unit to a full portfolio, and scheduling scales as your property count grows.
Do I need to provide a vacuum?
Yes. Every property keeps its own vacuum on site as a precaution against bedbugs and roaches traveling between units. We bring all other products and equipment.
What happens if a guest leaves the unit a mess?
Turnovers well beyond a normal reset, like post-party cleanups or extended-stay resets, are billed at our deep-clean rate or quoted up front. We’ll always flag it before billing.
Do you also do deep cleans, not just turnovers?
Yes. Turnovers keep a unit guest-ready, but every property benefits from a deeper reset now and then. We quote deep cleans and seasonal maintenance cleans per property.
