A regular house clean and a short-term rental turnover look similar from the outside and are not the same job. A house clean makes a lived-in space nicer. A turnover has to erase the previous guest completely, in a fixed window, and hand over a space that matches the photographs someone booked from.
Start with the things guests notice first, because they are also the things that end up in reviews. Hair — in the shower, on the bathroom floor, on the bedding. Fingerprints on glass and stainless steel. The inside of the microwave and the fridge. Under the bed. Anything sticky. None of these are difficult; all of them are easy to miss when you are working to a check-out clock.
Then the reset. Every item goes back where the listing photos put it: remotes, hangers, chairs, the coffee things, the spare blanket. A guest comparing the room to the photos they booked from is doing it unconsciously, and a chair in the wrong place reads as neglect even when the room is spotless. Beds get made properly — not thrown together — with whatever linens the host provides.
Finally, the walk-through nobody does. Stand in the doorway of each room and look at it the way someone arriving with a suitcase would. That thirty seconds catches more than the previous hour did.
