A deep clean and seasonal reset covers what a routine turnover skips — carpets, windows, appliance interiors, outdoor surfaces — done between longer bookings rather than after every guest. Tampa STR Cleaning schedules these as a standalone visit; published local add-on rates run $25–$200 for carpet work and $150–$425 for windows, priced separately from the standard turn.
A standard turnover resets a property for the next guest in under a couple of hours; a deep clean and seasonal reset is the longer visit that catches what a quick turn has to skip — grout, baseboards, inside the oven and fridge, window tracks, ceiling fans. Tampa STR Cleaning books these as their own appointment, not stacked onto a same-day turn, because the scope doesn't fit the window between checkout and check-in.
Most of what makes a reset 'deep' is optional and priced by the task: published local rates put carpet cleaning at $25 to $200, window cleaning at $150 to $425, and pressure washing at $125 to $400 across Tampa-area providers. Pool cleaning, where a property has one, typically runs $25 to $150. None of that is a fixed quote — Tampa STR Cleaning walks the property first and prices the actual scope, not a menu average.
When does a property need this instead of a regular turn?
The natural point is the gap between a long booking and the next one — a two-week guest checks out, a few days pass before anyone else checks in, and that gap is the window for grout and grease a nightly-rate turnover never reaches. Owners also use it as a straight seasonal reset: once or twice a year, independent of any particular booking, to catch what accumulates even when every turnover is done well.
What's included that a standard turn doesn't touch?
Not every property needs all of it in the same visit — a condo with no pool skips that line, a ground-floor unit with no exterior surfaces skips the pressure wash. The scope gets built around what the property actually has.
- Appliance interiors — oven, fridge, microwave
- Window tracks and screens
- Baseboards, vents and ceiling fans
- Grout and tile in bathrooms
- Outdoor surfaces, where pressure washing or pool care applies
How often should a rental get a deep clean?
Most owners schedule one once or twice a year, plus whenever there's a multi-day gap between bookings long enough to fit it in. A property that turns over every few days rarely needs more than that if the routine turnovers are thorough.
Does a deep clean replace the regular turnover cleaning?
No — it's a separate, longer visit on top of the standard between-guest turn, not instead of it. The regular turnover still happens for every guest; the deep clean handles the tasks that don't fit inside that window.
How much does carpet or window cleaning cost as an add-on?
Published local rates in the Tampa area run $25 to $200 for carpet cleaning and $150 to $425 for windows, depending on square footage and condition. Tampa STR Cleaning quotes the actual job after seeing the property rather than using a flat rate.
