Why cleanliness matters for rentals

A clean unit shows better, rents faster and sets expectations from day one. Tenants who move into a spotless home are more likely to keep it that way, and a consistent turnover standard makes move-out inspections simpler to document.

Turnover cleaning between tenants

Tenant turnover cleaning is the reset between one lease and the next. After the previous tenant moves out, we clean the empty unit top to bottom so it's ready for showings, the move-in walkthrough and the new resident.

Our turnover cleaning builds on our move-in and move-out cleaning checklist: cabinets and drawers inside and out, closets, appliances, bathrooms, baseboards, floors, interior windows and final trash removal. Optional deep cleaning and disinfecting are available for units that need extra attention.

What we clean

  • Kitchens: counters, sinks, appliances, cabinets, floors
  • Bathrooms: toilets, tubs, showers, sinks, mirrors, fixtures, floors
  • Bedrooms & living areas: dusting, vacuuming, mopping, baseboards, closets
  • High-touch areas: doorknobs, light switches, railings
  • Shared & exterior-facing spaces: hallways, entryways, balconies
  • Student housing: dorm rooms and shared hallways

  • Recurring cleaning of common areas, hallways and entryways
  • One-time cleanings before showings or inspections
  • Portfolio scheduling across multiple properties in DC, MD and VA

  • Rowhouses and townhomes

One call for cleaning and painting

Many turnovers need fresh paint as well as a clean. Rent Maids' sister company, Rent Painters, handles interior painting, so one partner can take a unit from move-out to move-in ready.

What our clients say

I couldn’t ask for more they did the extra mile in my house for my baby’s birthday 🎉 🙌 Thank you so much Ana and team for your service

I have had Ana and her team as cleaners for the last three years. They are always on time and very detailed in their cleans.

They were able to get a move in clean done the day after I first contacted them, and did fantastic work. Made everything spotless even the outside windows. Couldn’t be happier and definitely plan to use Rent Maids again.

Make a great impression on new tenants

A spotless unit on move-in day sets the tone for the whole lease. Let Rent Maids handle the turnover.
