Turnover days can be the most stressful part of managing a vacation rental—but they don’t have to be. With the right plan and tools, you can clean quickly, efficiently, and thoroughly. Here’s how to speed up your turnovers without sacrificing quality.

1. Create a repeatable routine
Consistency is key. Start in the same room, work clockwise, and use the same sequence of tasks each time.

2. Prep your supplies
Keep a stocked and labeled caddy with all necessary supplies. Refill your stock weekly and double-check your cleaning kit before each job.

3. Stick to a checklist
Follow a printed or digital checklist tailored to your property. It keeps everyone on track and prevents missed details.

4. Combine tasks
Multitask where you can. Run the laundry while you clean the bathroom. Let disinfectant sit on surfaces while vacuuming elsewhere.

5. Hire backup if needed
Multiple turnovers in a day? Don’t burn out. Bring in an extra set of hands or partner with a cleaning company.

Bonus Time-Saver: Pre-make welcome kits or guest baskets to save time during setups. Have a storage system in place so everything is ready to grab and go.

With planning, practice, and the right support, turnover days can run smoothly—and your guests will walk into a place that feels clean, cared for, and ready for vacation!
