Short term rental cleaners send estimates when a host or property manager is choosing a cleaner, adding a new property, or asking about one-time services like a deep clean or a post-renovation reset. Clients usually compare per-turnover price, how reliably you meet check-in deadlines, and what is included in the price.
When to use estimates: Use estimates to provide project quotes and get client approval before starting work. Once approved, convert your estimate to an invoice with one click to collect payment.

Bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, and number of floors determine time and price, and they stop disputes if the property differs from what was described.
Spell out whether it covers linens, dishes, trash, restocking, and wiping appliances so the host knows what the price buys.
State whether you wash on-site, take linens off-site, or use a commercial linen service, since this affects time and cost.
Cleaning products, consumables, and equipment can be a major cost; clarify who buys what and how supplies are billed.
Note the expected check-out to check-in window and how you handle same-day or back-to-back bookings.
Hot tubs, patios, inside the oven, windows, and heavy-duty cleaning are often add-ons that should be priced separately.
Spell out fees for last-minute cancellations, access problems, or guests who have not left on time.
| Service | Priced | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Studio or 1-bedroom turnover | per turnover | $75-130 |
| 2-3 bedroom turnover | per turnover | $120-220 |
| 4+ bedroom or large home turnover | per turnover | $200-400 |
| Hourly cleaning (when not flat rate) | per hour | $30-55 |
| Deep clean or reset between long stays | per job | $180-450 |
| Laundry (sheets, towels) when done off-site | per load | $15-35 |
| Restocking consumables (soap, paper goods, coffee) | cost plus markup | 10-20% over cost |
| Same-day or rush turnover surcharge | flat fee | $25-75 |
Typical US ranges. Rates vary by region, experience, and job size.
Hosts like a single per-turnover price with a short add-on list, such as laundry, extra beds, or hot tub care. It keeps comparisons simple and shields you from unlimited scope creep.
A quick visit or video tour reveals things that change time, like many beds, tight bathrooms, or heavy furniture. Quoting from the listing alone often underestimates the work.
Property managers expect some discount for several properties or frequent turnovers. Build in a small reduction based on guaranteed volume rather than cutting your standard rate across the board.
Labor and supply costs shift over time, so quotes valid for 14 to 30 days protect you from honoring old rates after a long delay.
Most cleaners offer free estimates or video walk-throughs for recurring work. For large properties or one-time deep cleans that need a long on-site visit, some charge a fee and credit it to the first job.
Include a line saying the quote is based on the stated size and condition, and that you may adjust the price if the property differs. Tell the host before work begins and document it with photos.
For one-time deep cleans or properties in rough shape, a range is reasonable until you see the space. For routine turnovers, a single flat price is clearer and more competitive.
Review rates once or twice a year and give recurring clients written notice, usually 30 days. Explain the change in plain terms, such as higher supply costs or added property features.
