A deep clean and seasonal reset covers what a standard turnover skips — cabinet interiors, oven and refrigerator interiors, baseboards, window tracks, and grout lines. San Diego STR Cleaning books these in San Diego as a separate visit from the per-guest turnover, typically between long-term bookings or ahead of a slow season. Local market rates for the service run $150–$400.
A turnover clean resets a property in the window between checkout and check-in — it doesn't touch what guests never see up close. A deep clean and seasonal reset does: the inside of the refrigerator, or the cabinet a departing guest never opened. San Diego STR Cleaning treats it as a separate visit from the standard turnover, scheduled around the calendar rather than around a single guest stay.
It's the appointment that keeps a five-star listing looking like its photos six months in, not the one that keeps the lights on between bookings.
What's actually different from a turnover clean?
A turnover clean works around the guest's schedule — beds stripped, bathroom and kitchen wiped down, floors done, trash out. A deep clean opens the parts of the unit a turnover doesn't have time for: inside the oven and refrigerator, cabinet interiors, baseboards, window tracks, grout lines, and furniture pulled out rather than cleaned around.
- Oven interior, refrigerator interior and coils
- Baseboards, window tracks and blinds
- Grout and tile lines in bathrooms and kitchen
- Furniture moved to clean underneath and behind it, not around it
When does a property actually need one?
Most owners book a deep clean between long-term bookings, ahead of a slow season, or before new listing photos — whenever buildup has had months rather than days to collect. A property running back-to-back weekend turnovers accumulates wear a turnover crew isn't scoped to address; a deep clean is the appointment that catches up.
What does it cost in San Diego?
Deep clean and seasonal reset pricing in this market typically runs $150–$400, based on 8 published figures from 4 local providers — the spread comes down mostly to square footage and how long it's been since the last one. A first deep clean after months of turnovers with none costs more than a quarterly one on a well-kept property. San Diego STR Cleaning quotes each property individually rather than applying one flat rate across different unit sizes.
How is this different from the turnover clean between guests?
A turnover resets the property for the next guest in the checkout-to-check-in window; a deep clean goes into what that window doesn't allow time for — cabinet interiors, baseboards, window tracks, and furniture moved rather than cleaned around. They're billed and scheduled separately.
How often should I book one?
Between long-term bookings, ahead of a slow season, or before new listing photos is when most owners schedule one. There's no fixed interval that fits every property's booking volume, so it comes down to how long it's actually been since the last one.
Can a deep clean be combined with a turnover?
Yes — if a checkout lines up with when a deep clean is due, San Diego STR Cleaning can run both in the same visit instead of scheduling a separate block. It just needs more time on the calendar, so flag it when booking rather than day-of.
