Airbnb Cleaning & Turnovers in Durham, NC
Turnovers for Durham short-term rentals, from downtown lofts to cottages near Duke, with a laundry plan that fits your unit.
Durham guests stay for different reasons.
Durham's short-term rental guests are a mix: families in town for Duke move-in weekend and graduation, patients and relatives visiting Duke Health, researchers and consultants working in RTP, and fans in for a Durham Bulls game or a show at DPAC. Some stay one night. Others stay a week or longer, which leaves more to reset at checkout, from a full fridge to a week's worth of towels.
We still price every turnover flat by unit size. Only excess mess or damage beyond a normal stay, which we document with photos, is billed separately.
What every Durham turnover includes.
We follow the same hosts' checklist on every turn, room by room:
- Used linens stripped, mattress protectors inspected and swapped if soiled
- Beds made hotel-style with a fresh set
- Towels, bath mats and hand towels swapped
- Shower, tub, tile and glass scrubbed
- Toilet sanitized inside, outside and at the base
- Fridge wiped out and guest leftovers removed
- Stovetop, microwave and coffee maker cleaned
- Coffee, tea, dish soap and sponges restocked from your closet
- Sofa cushions fluffed, remotes and games reset
- Final staging pass and photo report
Laundry plans for Durham lofts and older homes.
Some Durham rentals, especially older homes and converted lofts, don't have a washer and dryer in the unit, or have one too small to run a full turnover's worth of linens. You have three options.
- On-site wash and fold: if there's a washer, we run sheets, towels and mats during the clean and refold everything for the next guest.
- Off-site laundry run: we collect, launder, fold and return linens on a rolling schedule, priced per load and billed monthly.
- Linen rental: we supply commercial-grade white sheets and towels and rotate clean sets in every turn.
Access, checkout times and damage reports.
We need code-based entry, either a smart lock or a lockbox, never a key handoff from a departing guest. If a guest checks out late, we wait up to 30 minutes at no charge and keep you posted. Every turnover starts with photos of the unit's condition, so if something is broken or stained you get a same-day report you can use for a claim.

Airbnb Cleaning in Durham: questions.
How much does Airbnb cleaning cost in Durham?
Each turnover is a flat price by unit size. Turnovers start at $139 for a studio or one-bedroom and $179 for a three-bedroom. Off-site laundry, if you need it, is priced per load.
My Durham rental has no washer. Can you still handle linens?
Yes. We can collect, launder, fold and return linens on a rolling schedule, or supply commercial-grade sheets and towels through our linen rental program and rotate clean sets every turn.
How much time do you need between guests?
Three hours is ideal, for example an 11am checkout and a 3pm check-in. Tighter turns are possible, but we may have to skip on-site laundry to hit your check-in time.
Do you need a key?
We need reliable code-based entry, such as a smart lock or a lockbox. We don't take key handoffs from departing guests.
What if a guest leaves an unusual mess?
A standard turnover is a flat rate. If a guest leaves excess trash, vomit, pet damage or broken items, we photograph it and add a separate charge, and you get the photos for your claim.

One flat price. No hourly billing. No hidden fees.
Every quote we send is a flat rate for the job — not an estimate, not a starting point. If our team takes longer than planned, the price doesn't change. Ever.
Never per-hour
We quote the job, not the clock. If a clean takes longer than we expected, that's on us — your price doesn't move.
No hidden fees
No trip charges, no fuel fees, no supply fees, no weekend surcharges. The number we quote is the number you pay.
No surprise charges
Pricing only changes if you ask for an add-on at booking — or if conditions on arrival aren't what was disclosed (heavy pet hair, post-renovation dust, hoarding). We'll always call before we charge.
