What's included in a short-term rental turnover?

A standard short-term rental turnover resets the unit for the next guest — beds stripped and remade, bathrooms and kitchen cleaned, all trash and recycling removed, and every room checked against a reset standard before check-in. Savannah STR Cleaning also cleans the property's outdoor trash and recycling bins as a separate add-on, not just what's inside.

What's the difference between a turnover and a deep clean?

A turnover is the reset between one guest leaving and the next one arriving — surfaces, beds, bathrooms, kitchen, trash. A deep clean goes further: baseboards, inside appliances, the buildup a quick reset doesn't reach. Turnovers happen every guest cycle; a deep clean gets booked on its own, not folded into a same-day turnaround.

What actually gets touched during a turnover?

The core of every turnover covers the same ground regardless of which of the 10 service areas the property sits in.

  • Beds stripped and remade
  • Bathrooms and kitchen cleaned
  • Trash and recycling removed from inside the unit
  • A room-by-room check against a reset standard before the next guest is due

Does bin cleaning come with the turnover, or is it separate?

It's separate. Savannah STR Cleaning also cleans the property's outdoor trash and recycling bins as its own add-on, distinct from the interior reset — ask for it specifically when you book if you want it on the checklist for that visit rather than assuming it's automatic.

Who checks that the unit is actually ready before the next guest arrives?

The room-by-room check happens at the end of the visit, before the crew leaves — not after a complaint comes in. That's the part that's harder to see from a listing description, and it's the reason a 5.0 rating across 21 Google reviews is worth more than a checklist on its own.

Is bin cleaning part of every turnover, or an extra?

It's an add-on, not a default. Ask for it when you book so it's on the checklist for that specific visit.

Do all 10 service areas get the same turnover checklist?

Yes — the reset standard for beds, bathrooms, kitchen, and trash is the same property to property. What changes between areas is scheduling and drive time, not what gets cleaned.

Can I add a deep clean without changing my regular turnover schedule?

Yes — a deep clean is booked as its own visit, separate from the standard between-guest turnover, so it doesn't have to disrupt the regular cadence. Call (912) 666-2994 to set one up.
