How the math works
Turnover cleaning cost scales with bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, and max guest capacity. Pet-friendly listings add 20–30% to cleaning time for hair removal, deodorizing, and additional pest prevention.
Sending linens out ($75-150/turnover) dramatically cuts on-site cleaning time, speeds same-day turnovers, and reduces wear. Worth it for properties with 30+ turnovers/year.
How to Use
- Enter bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage.
- Pick whether pets are allowed (more cleanup).
- Enter max guest capacity — more guests mean more cleanup.
- Enter cleaner hourly rate. $35-60/hr is typical for STR-experienced cleaners.
- Decide whether to send linens out to a laundromat service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is linen service worth it?
Yes on properties with 25+ turnovers/year. Laundromats can wash, dry, and fold in 2-4 hours vs 4-8 hours on-site. Enables true same-day turnovers and extends linen life by 30%.
How should I pay my cleaner?
Per-turnover flat fee (most common), hourly, or per-square-foot. Flat fee aligns interests — cleaner is incentivized for efficiency without shortchanging quality. Review monthly against actual hours spent.
What's the typical markup on cleaning fee?
25-50%. Covers supplies, restocking, coordination, and contingency. Going under 20% tends to lose money on edge-case deep cleans. Going over 60% hurts bookings.
