The gap between check-out and check-in
A turnover lives or dies in that window between the previous guest pulling the door shut and the next one walking in. Miss a stained sofa cushion, leave a coffee ring on the worktop, or run ten minutes late, and the next booking reads it in a review. That narrow strip of time is what we run — not a weekly tidy, not a deep clean, the changeover itself. We treat it like a handover with a deadline attached, because that’s exactly what it is.
Send the check-out time and the check-in time on WhatsApp and we’ll tell you straight whether the window is workable.
Running the changeover across the south
We plan turnovers as a route, not a one-off. A 10:00 check-out in a city flat off Makariou in Nicosia, a midday turn at a Limassol marina apartment, an afternoon reset at a family villa above Fig Tree Bay — same crew, same standard, same photo set back to your phone after each. You keep a single WhatsApp thread for the whole portfolio instead of three cleaners in three towns who don’t know what the other one did. If you manage listings for absent owners, that one thread is the thing that saves your evenings.
Send the addresses and the booking calendar and we’ll line the runs up.
What we work through in a turn
Inside that window we reset the property from top to bottom. Beds stripped and remade when clean linen is waiting there, kitchen surfaces and hob wiped down, fridge cleared of whatever the last guest left, bathroom sanitised and mirrors done, floors vacuumed then mopped. Balconies and terraces get swept where access is safe. We finish with a full walk-through, note anything broken or missing before the next guest finds it, then photograph the rooms and send the set on WhatsApp. Anything beyond the standard reset — an oven pull-out, a window-track clear after a Saharan dust week, a balcony deep-clean — gets added to the quote, nothing quietly dropped.
Linen, and how the changeover actually works
Bedsheets and towels: we change them when clean replacements are already at the property - we don’t supply the items ourselves. So the rhythm that keeps turnovers smooth is simple: make sure a clean set is at the property before each changeover. If we arrive and the replacements aren’t there, we photograph the bare bed and message you before doing anything — no guesswork, no charge for a change we couldn’t make. Plenty of hosts we work with keep a spare set in a locked cupboard or with a key-box; that one habit removes almost every changeover headache.
Multiple properties and recurring runs
If you’re running three or four listings — say a Larnaca flat for airport-adjacent guests, a Limassol seafront place for city breakers, and a Protaras villa for summer families — the timing and the routing matter more than any single clean. Send us the calendar and we’ll hold recurring slots in advance, especially for peak season on the coast from June through September when the window gets tight. Quieter winter weeks in Nicosia we can usually fit on a day’s notice. We quote each run clearly: small apartments usually start from about €45, and the price moves with size, condition, access, and any extra work the turn needs. Same-day cover when a booking shifts is on request when the diary allows — we’ll say yes or no in minutes, not days.
