A regular turnover cleans what a guest sees; a deep clean and seasonal reset goes after what Scottsdale's desert air does to a property between turnovers — hard water film on fixtures, dust in vents and window tracks, sun-faded fabric. Scottsdale STR Cleaning books these between longer vacancies, not inside a routine turnover.
Hard water leaves a chalky film on shower glass and faucets faster in the Valley than in most markets, and dust pulled in through open windows or HVAC returns settles into track grooves and vent covers over weeks, not days. Neither shows up in a guest's day-one photo, but both build until a listing starts reading as tired in reviews. A deep clean and seasonal reset targets that buildup specifically: inside cabinets, baseboards, window tracks, vents, and anywhere a standard bed-bath-kitchen-floors turnover doesn't reach.
Pressure washing and carpet cleaning are the two add-ons that come up most often alongside a deep clean. Local Scottsdale-area providers typically quote pressure washing around $150–$425 and carpet cleaning around $75–$350 as standalone jobs; neither is included in Scottsdale STR Cleaning's base rate, and both get quoted after a walk-through of the specific property.
What actually builds up between routine turnovers?
The scope reaches past what a turnover wipe-down covers, into spots that only show up on close inspection.
- Oven interior and stovetop grease a turnover wipe doesn't reach
- Inside cabinets and drawers, especially in the kitchen
- Baseboards and corners where routine mopping skips
- Light fixtures and ceiling fan blades
When does a property actually need one, instead of a routine turnover?
A deep clean doesn't replace a turnover — it's booked into the gap when a property sits empty longer than usual between guests, or on a seasonal cadence a host sets independent of the booking calendar. Folding that scope into a same-day turnover is how a crew runs late on the next guest's check-in.
Do you pressure wash the patio or pool deck?
Pressure washing is available but priced as a standalone job — local Scottsdale-area providers typically quote $150–$425 for it, and Scottsdale STR Cleaning quotes it after seeing the specific surface and square footage. It isn't included in a standard turnover or deep clean by default.
How often should a vacation rental get a deep clean?
There's no fixed interval — it depends on occupancy and how much dust or hard water buildup the property is showing. Hosts with high turnover typically book one between longer vacancies rather than on a set calendar.
Is carpet cleaning included in a deep clean?
No — carpet cleaning is quoted separately. Local Scottsdale-area providers typically charge $75–$350 for it, and it's added to a deep clean booking only when the property has carpet that needs it.
