House cleaners for tenants?

BPers - curious if anyone has experience (positive or negative) including mandatory cleaning services in the rent for single family homes?  Seems like this is not a common practice, but I am not sure why.  We are finishing renovation on our first rental property and want to do what we can to keep it clean.  We are in an expensive area (Santa Barbara, CA) where the cost for cleaning services is minimal relative to the rent prices, so I can't imagine many tenants would quarrel over this, especially if it is included in the rent. My feeling is this would be nice peace of mind when handing off the keys.  On the other hand, I can also see the argument that a one-time hit for a serious deep clean at turnover saves more in the long run.  Thanks for any advice.
