Short-term rental cleaning is the turnover service between one guest's checkout and the next guest's check-in: beds stripped and remade, kitchen and bathrooms reset, consumables restocked, so the unit shows the same on every arrival. Tampa STR Cleaning runs this for hosts and property managers across the Tampa market; turnovers typically run $75–$225.
A short-term rental doesn't get cleaned around a homeowner's schedule — it gets cleaned in the gap between one guest's checkout and the next guest's check-in, whether that gap is six hours or two days. Tampa STR Cleaning schedules off each property's booking calendar, not a fixed weekly route, which is the main way this differs from a standard house-cleaning service.
The crew runs Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., covering 8 service areas around Tampa. Sunday is closed — worth knowing if bookings on your calendar tend to turn over Sunday morning.
What's the difference between short-term rental cleaning and a regular house clean?
A regular house clean happens with the owner in the loop and some flexibility about what gets done this visit versus next. A short-term rental turnover doesn't have that flexibility — the unit is empty, there's a hard deadline before the next guest arrives, and the job includes restocking items a house clean never touches: toilet paper, coffee, dish soap, trash bags.
Do you work with property managers running multiple units?
Yes — several of the properties on the schedule are managed by someone other than the owner. Each one is cleaned against its own booking calendar instead of a single fixed day, so a manager running five listings gets five independent schedules, not one route that forces every unit onto the same day of the week.

What does it cost?
Short-term rental turnovers in the Tampa market typically run $75–$225, with size and condition at checkout doing most of the moving. Tampa STR Cleaning quotes each property after seeing it rather than pricing off a size chart, since a well-kept 2-bedroom and a post-party 2-bedroom aren't the same job.
How is this different from a maid service?
A maid service typically cleans on a recurring schedule with the owner present or nearby. Short-term rental cleaning runs off the booking calendar with nobody home, and includes a restock and a final check against the listing before it goes live for the next guest.
Can you handle multiple properties on different calendars?
Yes — each property is scheduled against its own bookings rather than a single weekly route. Call (813) 921-0386 with your addresses and current calendars to get set up.
