Airbnb and Vacation Rental Cleaning
Airbnb cleaning and vacation rental changeovers between guests: beds stripped and remade, bathrooms reset, kitchen checked, supplies restocked, and a message back to the host about anything we found.
An Airbnb clean is a changeover, not a house clean. One guest leaves, the property has to look untouched by the time the next one walks in, and the whole thing happens inside the gap between a checkout time and a check in time. Beds stripped and remade, bathrooms reset, kitchen emptied and wiped, floors done, supplies restocked, and a message to the host about anything that is missing, broken or out of place.
What is included in a short term rental changeover?
The same list every single time, because guests compare a property to its photos and not to last week. Strip and remake every bed with fresh linen. Reset every bathroom: toilet, shower, mirror, floor, fresh towels, fresh paper and soap.
Empty and wipe the fridge, run or empty the dishwasher, check the trash is out. Wipe every surface a hand touches, including remotes, switches and door handles. Vacuum and wash the floors. Then a walk through against a checklist so the property is left the way the listing says it looks.
How much time does a turnover clean need?
It depends on the bed count and the bathroom count more than on the square footage, because linen and bathrooms are the two slowest parts of the job. A studio with one bathroom is quick.
A three bedroom house with two and a half bathrooms and six beds to strip is not. Tell us your checkout and check in times when you book, and we will tell you honestly whether the gap you have is enough for the property you have.
Vacation rental cleaning and short term rental cleaning
They are the same work under different words, and hosts use all three. Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking, a listing run privately, a cottage let by the week: what matters is that the property is occupied by paying strangers who arrive with expectations set by a photograph. That is a different standard from a family home, and it is why the changeover runs from a fixed list rather than from judgement on the day.
Can you handle access when I am not there?
That is the normal case, and it needs to be set up rather than improvised. Lockbox code, smart lock code, key safe, a neighbor who holds a key: whichever it is, we agree it before the first turnover and we tell you if a code stops working rather than leaving you to find out from a guest.
Prime Harmony Cleaning Service is a family owned and woman owned company, and we are insured, which matters more than usual when the person cleaning is the only one in the building.
What we tell you after every turnover
The cleaner is often the only person inside a rental between one guest and the next, so what we notice is part of what you are paying for.
A stain that will not come out, a chipped glass, a towel that has walked, a smoke or carbon monoxide detector that has been taken down, a smell that needs looking at. You get told, with a photo when it helps, so you can decide what to do before the next guest is standing in the room.
What restocking covers, and what it does not
We will put out the supplies you leave for us: linen, towels, toilet paper, soap, coffee, whatever your setup is. We will tell you when a stock is running low so you are not caught out on a Friday.
What we cannot do is buy your consumables for you or decide what your listing should provide. Leave the stock in one place, tell us the standard set for each room, and the changeover runs the same way whether or not anyone is around to ask.
What a changeover is not
It is not a deep clean, and a busy rental needs one of those every so often. Grout, hard water on the shower glass, inside the oven, inside cabinets, baseboards and vents all build up under a season of fast turnovers, and no changeover has the hours to catch them. Book the deep clean in a gap between bookings, or at the end of the season, and let the changeovers hold the property in between.
Best Airbnb and Vacation Rental Cleaning in Norwich
The guest housing in this county is concentrated on the shoreline rather than spread evenly. In Mystic, CT, 164 of 2,515 housing units are held for seasonal, recreational or occasional use, which is 6.5% against 0.9% in Norwich, so that is where the changeover work sits.
It is also where the properties are oldest, so the job is hand work around fixed detail. See the towns we cover, the rest of our cleaning services, or ask for a free quote.

FAQ
Airbnb and Vacation Rental Cleaning, common questions
Where can I find Airbnb cleaning near me in Norwich?
Prime Harmony Cleaning Service covers short term and vacation rental changeovers in Norwich, CT and across New London, Groton, Colchester, Mystic and Waterford, CT. Call (860) 861-8154 or ask for a free quote. Tell us the bed count, the bathroom count and your checkout and check in times, and we will tell you whether the gap works.
Should an Airbnb turnover be priced per turnover or by the hour?
Per turnover, because that is how the host earns and how the guest experiences it. A changeover is the same defined list every time, so a fixed price per turnover lets a host set a cleaning fee on the listing and know the number. Hourly makes sense only for a one off catch up or a deep clean. We quote from bed count, bathroom count and what restocking involves.
How much time do you need between one guest checking out and the next arriving?
It comes down to beds and bathrooms rather than floor area. A studio with one bathroom is quick. A three bedroom house with two and a half bathrooms and six beds to strip is not. Send us your checkout and check in times with the property details and we will tell you straight whether that gap works, instead of agreeing to it and running late.
Do you wash the linen and towels for a vacation rental?
It depends on the setup, and both work. Some hosts keep two full sets and we swap the used ones into a bag for you. Others have a washer and dryer on site and want the load run during the changeover, which adds time to the visit. Tell us which one you are running when you book, because it changes the length of the turnover.
How will I know if a guest damaged something?
We tell you, with a photo when it helps. A cleaner is usually the only person inside a rental between guests, so a chipped glass, a missing towel, a stain that will not lift or a detector that has been taken off the wall all get reported rather than tidied past. You decide what to do about it before the next guest arrives.
Do you restock supplies for short term rentals?
We put out whatever you leave for us, and we tell you when stock is getting low. Leave the linen, towels, paper, soap and any welcome items in one place, and tell us the standard set for each room. What we do not do is buy consumables on your behalf or decide what your listing should provide, because that is your call and your budget.
