Why a turnover isn’t enough across the whole south
You run listings in more than one city - a Finikoudes studio, a Limassol marina apartment, a Nicosia serviced flat - and the quick reset between guests keeps all of them turning over. What it never catches is the layer that builds across a Cyprus summer: sunscreen film on bathroom tiles in Ayia Napa, grease baked into the extractor above a Protaras kitchen, fine Nicosia dust settling on top of wardrobes through the heating season. Run enough fast turnovers and that layer thickens until a guest leaves a review about tired-looking surfaces.
The deep clean is what pulls it back. We slot it alongside your regular turnovers, not in place of them, so the next guest still lands in a fresh flat and the property keeps its detail over a long season.
The buildup looks different on every coast
There’s no template scope, because the dirt is shaped by where the place sits. A beachfront listing in Protaras or Ayia Napa collects sand in the grout, salt crust on the balcony glass, and a faint chlorine-and-sunscreen haze on the shower tiles. A sea-view flat above Limassol marina builds humidity residue on window frames and soap scum around the drain from heavy daily use. A Nicosia serviced apartment, cycling business guests through the year, gathers fine dust above the units and cooking grease behind the hob. A Larnaca place near the salt lake catches a powdery film in the shoulder months that the naked eye misses until the light hits it.
We start from where the buildup actually is, not from a checklist. Expect the slow work: descaling showerheads and taps, degreasing the hob and extractor, dusting the tops of units and doors, scrubbing grout, lifting marks off walls and skirtings, washing balcony glass and rails, and getting under and behind the big furniture. Then a final walk-through and photos on WhatsApp.
Booking it in the gaps your calendar already has
Deep work needs a wide, quiet window - the opposite of a turnover. So we plan it around the dead spots your booking rhythm already creates: the midweek lull between two weekend stays in Paralimni, the day a long-haul group checks out of an Ayia Napa villa, the shoulder-season week a Limassol pad sits empty. You don’t want a deep clean colliding with a 15:00 check-in off a Larnaca flight.
Run more than one property across the south? We can stagger deep cleans so nothing lands on the same week and your regular cleaner never gets pulled off a turnover to chase limescale.
Linen, towels, and what we don’t supply
Bedsheets and towels: we change them when clean replacements are already at the property - we don’t supply the items ourselves. During a deep clean we often find linen that’s sat folded too long in a cupboard, or a stale set left in the washer from the last checkout. We photograph it, flag it, and only handle what you’ve got clean on site.
What it costs, and how to get a real number
A periodic deep clean runs above the turnover floor - small apartments usually start from about €45 for a between-guests clean, and the detail reset sits higher because it takes longer and goes deeper. The final figure moves with size, city, time since the last deep clean, and access. Send the area, the square metres, and a couple of photos of the worst spots, and we’ll quote a clear figure on WhatsApp before anyone shows up.
Same-day, when it genuinely fits
Same-day cover on request when our diary allows - but deep cleans rarely fit a same-day window, because they need hours of quiet, not the slot between a checkout and an arrival. If you’ve got a place that’s genuinely empty for most of the day and a date in mind, send the hours and we’ll tell you straight whether we can take it.
One crew, the whole south coast
Larnaca, Limassol, Nicosia, Ayia Napa, Protaras, and Paralimni - one WhatsApp thread whether you host in one city or all six. Same standard, same photo proof after every job. Send the locations and we’ll confirm what we can cover.
