Built for Airbnb Hosts, Not Generic Cleaners
Short-term rental cleaning is its own discipline. The 11am checkout / 4pm check-in window is brutal. The expectation that a property looks "brand new" every single guest is relentless. The penalty for a 4-star "cleanliness" review can cost you bookings for months.
Klova built our Airbnb turnover service specifically for the way short-term rental hosts actually operate in Durham Region. We're fast, we're consistent, and we know what guests notice — because we've cleaned hundreds of turnovers for hosts in Whitby, Pickering, Ajax, and Oshawa.
Turnover Pricing — Flat Rate, No Surprises
Most Durham hosts charge their guests a $125-175 cleaning fee per booking. Our turnover rates are designed to fit comfortably within that — leaving you healthy margin (typically $25-50 per booking) while delivering the 5-star clean your guests will rate accordingly.
Studio / 1-BR
2-Bedroom
3-Bedroom
4+ Bedroom
Multi-property hosts get bulk pricing. 5+ turnovers per month = 10% off. Linen service add-on $35-65 per turnover.
What Makes Us Different for Hosts
Same-Day Turnover
Standard 1-2 hour turnaround for typical 1-3 bedroom rentals. We work the 11-4 window.
Linen Service Available
Strip beds, wash, dry, fold, remake with fresh sets. Or coordinate with your linen rental service.
Photo Documentation
We document the property's pre-clean condition with photos. Useful for guest damage disputes.
Multi-Property Scheduling
Manage 2-5 properties? We coordinate routes, schedules, and consolidated invoicing.
Eco-Friendly Default
Plant-based products. Safe for guest allergies and sensitivities. No premium charge.
