They tracked debris in everywhere, carpet cleaning had to be done twiceDidn't take showers before going to bed, so all the sheets were ruinedRuined the towels when they did take showers as they werefull of construction crapLeft garbage piled up inside instead of putting it in the exterior trashbinsOverall, we still made some money, but have turned down all construction crews since.IF you were going to pursue your strategy, suggest you rent out by bed (not room) and supply some hygiene basics.

You're the one left explaining to someone paying $1000 night why your cleaners didn't show up, or interviewing bachelors who want to have the final blowout in your $1mil house, or trying to figure out if the new college grads wanting to rent your place will have a 1000 person rave in it...and you're left cleaning up the beer cans left over. 

Turning over the unit 10 times a year is going to GREATLY increase your cleaning expenses.

Are you running out in the middle of the day/night to clean it up so someone doesn't slip? 

If you are just cleaning it up and moving in, selling, or renting you could use a Vacant dwelling form.
