What gets cleaned in between tenants at your STR?

[JD Martin]

For those of you who are running (or have a PM and know what they do) an STR, what exactly do you clean between tenants - especially when you have the single day check out/check in turnovers? Do you clean all of the bedding including comforters and bedspreads, or sheets only? What about general clean up in the unit?

We have an STR and while we're pros at LTRs we are neophytes at the STR setup. I have a PM but I want to be doing my own due diligence at the same time so I understand what's normal in the industry and what standards I should expect. It seems to me that it would be difficult to clean everything in a 6 hour window, if you have one set of guests checking out at 10 AM and the next group checking in at 4 PM. Our PM has their own cleaners so I want to know what's reasonable to expect cleaned and what isn't.

One other thing: if the previous guests don't put the trash out and trash day is missed, what happens then? Do the new guests just have to deal with a full trash can until next trash day?

Thanks!
