Denver Clean Home provides fast, thorough turnover cleaning that keeps your reviews at five stars and your calendar fully booked.
Denver's Thriving Short-Term Rental Market
Denver is one of the top Airbnb markets in the Mountain West. With over 300 days of sunshine, proximity to world-class skiing, a booming craft brewery scene, professional sports, and Red Rocks Amphitheatre just 20 minutes away, the city draws millions of visitors every year. Short-term rentals have become a serious income stream for property owners across neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, Baker, Wash Park, LoDo, and the Highlands.
But with opportunity comes competition. Denver now has thousands of active Airbnb and Vrbo listings, and guests have high expectations. Cleanliness is consistently the number one factor in guest reviews and the primary reason guests choose one listing over another. A single mention of dust, hair in the bathroom, or stained linens in a review can cost you bookings for months.
That is where Denver Clean Home comes in. We specialize in the fast, meticulous turnover cleaning that Denver's short-term rental hosts depend on. Our team understands the urgency of same-day turnovers, the importance of every detail being photo-ready, and the specific needs of properties that host a constant rotation of guests.

The Secret to Consistent 5-Star Cleanliness Reviews
Airbnb's review system is brutally transparent. Every guest rates cleanliness separately, and that score is displayed prominently on your listing. Hosts who consistently earn five stars for cleanliness see higher search rankings, more bookings, and the ability to command premium nightly rates.
The difference between a four-star and five-star cleanliness rating often comes down to the details that guests notice but hosts overlook: a hair on the bathroom floor, fingerprints on the refrigerator handle, dust on the ceiling fan blades, or a slightly musty smell from linens that sat in the washer too long.
Our turnover crews are trained to clean from a guest's perspective. We look at your property the way a paying guest does — noticing the light switch plates, the remote control, the inside of the microwave, and the space between couch cushions. This guest-eye-view approach is why our hosts consistently earn top cleanliness scores.
The Details Guests Notice Most
Bathroom Hair
The number one cleanliness complaint in Airbnb reviews. We inspect every surface and drain.
Kitchen Appliance Interiors
Guests open the microwave and oven. We clean them every single turnover.
Linen Freshness
Stale or stained linens destroy trust immediately. We inspect every piece.
Floor Corners and Edges
Dust bunnies in corners and along baseboards signal a careless cleaning job.
Smell
The first impression when the door opens. We ensure a fresh, neutral scent — never overpowering.
Superhost-Level Cleaning Tips from Our Denver Team
We have helped dozens of Denver Airbnb hosts earn and maintain Superhost status. Here are the practices that set top-rated listings apart.
Use a Standardized Checklist
Consistency is the foundation of Superhost cleanliness. When every turnover follows the same detailed checklist, nothing gets missed — regardless of which team member handles the cleaning. We provide every host with a customized checklist for their property and follow it religiously.
Photo Verification Every Time
After every turnover, our team sends you photos of the cleaned space. This gives you peace of mind when you are managing your Denver rental remotely, and creates a visual record that your property was in perfect condition before each guest arrival — useful for any damage disputes.
Rotate Deep Cleans into Your Schedule
Standard turnovers keep the surface clean, but high-traffic rental properties need periodic deep cleaning. We recommend a full deep clean every 4 to 6 weeks for busy Denver listings. This covers oven interiors, behind appliances, grout scrubbing, upholstery, and window tracks — the things that accumulate over time.
Navigating Denver's Seasonal Rental Demand
Denver's rental market has distinct peak seasons. Planning your cleaning schedule around them keeps your reviews high and your stress low.
Winter Ski Season (November – March)
Denver serves as a basecamp for skiers heading to Breckenridge, Vail, Keystone, and Copper Mountain. Weekend turnovers are often back-to-back, with guests checking out Sunday morning and new arrivals that same afternoon. Mud, snow, and ski gear create extra cleaning challenges during this season.
Our winter crews carry boot trays, extra entry mats, and additional floor-cleaning supplies to handle the seasonal mess. We recommend adding an entry-area deep clean to your winter turnover checklist.
Summer Festival Season (May – September)
Summer brings concerts at Red Rocks, Denver PrideFest, the Cherry Creek Arts Festival, Colorado Rockies games, and thousands of tourists exploring the Front Range. Occupancy rates for Denver short-term rentals peak during these months, and many hosts see near-continuous bookings.
During peak summer months, we expand our scheduling capacity to handle the surge. Hosts who are set up on recurring schedules get priority booking for same-day turnovers.
Fall Foliage Season (September – October)
Colorado's fall colors draw visitors from around the country. Denver bookings spike on weekends as guests use the city as a home base for day trips to Rocky Mountain National Park, Mount Evans, and the high country. Turnover frequency is moderate but consistent, and the transition from warm to cool weather means adjusting thermostat and ventilation routines between guests.
Special Events (Year-Round)
The National Western Stock Show in January, the Great American Beer Festival in October, Denver Comic Con, Broncos home games, and major conventions at the Colorado Convention Center all create demand spikes. Smart hosts book their turnover cleaning crew in advance for these high-demand periods. Let us know your upcoming bookings and we will reserve your time slots.

Airbnb & Rental Turnover Cleaning FAQ
Answers to the most common questions Denver short-term rental hosts ask about our turnover cleaning services.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you turn over a rental property between guests?
We offer same-day turnover cleaning for most Denver short-term rentals. For a standard one- or two-bedroom unit, our team can complete a full turnover in 2 to 3 hours. Larger properties or those needing deep cleaning may take 3 to 5 hours. We schedule arrivals based on your checkout and check-in times to ensure everything is guest-ready with time to spare.
Do you offer recurring scheduling for Airbnb turnovers?
Absolutely. Most of our Denver Airbnb hosts set up recurring schedules that sync with their booking calendars. You can share your calendar with us or simply notify us when a turnover is needed. We offer priority scheduling for recurring clients, which means you get first access to our crews during peak Denver travel seasons like ski season, summer festivals, and the National Western Stock Show.
What does your Airbnb turnover cleaning checklist include?
Our turnover checklist covers every area a guest will see and touch. This includes stripping and remaking all beds with fresh linens, cleaning and sanitizing bathrooms, wiping down the full kitchen including appliances, vacuuming and mopping all floors, dusting surfaces, cleaning mirrors and glass, restocking toiletries and supplies you provide, taking out all trash and recycling, and a final walk-through to ensure the space is photo-ready for your next guest.
Can you help restock supplies between guests?
Yes, we offer a restocking service as an add-on. We can replenish toiletries like soap, shampoo, and toilet paper, as well as kitchen basics like dish soap, sponges, coffee, and paper towels. You provide the supplies at the property, and we handle the setup. Some hosts also have us arrange welcome baskets, set out guidebooks, or adjust thermostats before each arrival.
How does your pricing work for short-term rental turnovers?
We offer flat-rate pricing based on your property size and the scope of cleaning needed. This makes it easy to factor our services into your per-night pricing. One-bedroom units start at a competitive rate, and we offer volume discounts for hosts managing multiple properties in the Denver area. Contact us for a customized quote based on your specific property.
What if a guest leaves the property in unusually bad condition?
It happens, and we are prepared for it. Our standard turnover rate covers normal guest messes. If a guest leaves behind significant extra mess — heavy stains, excessive trash, pet accidents, or damage — we document everything with photos for your records and provide the additional cleaning at a pre-agreed hourly rate. This documentation can also support damage claims through Airbnb or your insurance provider.
