How much do Airbnb cleaners charge per turnover?

Airbnb cleaning is charged per turnover: one flat rate for each checkout, known before the guest leaves. JAS publishes its rate — $225 per checkout at every listed size, studio through 3 BR · 2 bath, and $225+ at 4 BR+ · 3 bath — for a visit that runs one to three hours depending on the unit.

But “how much do they charge” hides an earlier question: how do they charge. An hourly figure and a per-turnover figure cannot be compared without knowing what each one includes — which is where a national average, blending every model and every scope into one number, leaves a host worse off than no number at all.

Per turnover, per hour, or a fresh quote every time

An hourly bill moves with each checkout: the same apartment costs a different amount depending on how that guest left it, and the host learns the total after it is already owed. A quote-per-job model can be accurate, but it spends the one thing a turnover has least of — the window between checkout and the next check-in — waiting for an answer. A per-turnover rate reverses the order: the number exists before the guest does, so it can go into the listing math and into the cleaning-fee decision you make as a host.

Flat does not mean unconditional. The page that publishes the rate also publishes its limit, in its own words: turnover pricing assumes normal guest use. It is a flat rate inside a defined scope — which is why the scope is the other half of this question.

The published rates, by property size

The canonical source is the table on our Airbnb turnover cleaning in Miami page — “Starting at $225”, per checkout · 20 items. We restate it here so the answer sits next to the question:

• Studio · 1 hr · from $225
• 1 BR · 1 bath · 1–1.5 hr · from $225
• 2 BR · 2 bath · 1.5–2 hr · from $225
• 3 BR · 2 bath · 2–2.5 hr · from $225
• 4 BR+ · 3 bath · 2.5–3 hr · from $225+

Read the table right to left and the model shows itself: what changes row to row is the published duration — 1 hour for a studio up to 2.5–3 hours on the largest row — while the rate holds at $225 until it opens up to $225+ at 4 BR+ · 3 bath. Most visits run 1–2 hours with a 2-person team, and no row is a final price: you see your exact quote in the booking flow before you confirm.

“A per-turnover rate isn’t a number — it’s a number with a scope attached. Without the scope, two turnover quotes aren’t quoting the same job.”

What the rate must include before quotes compare

The published JAS rate buys the complete 20-item turnover: beds stripped and remade with fresh sets, towels reset, toiletries and coffee restocked, a quick-vacuum, counters wiped, and guest-ready photos posted to your host dashboard within 60 minutes of finishing. The team arrives with all cleaning supplies and equipment — eco-friendly by default — and linens and consumables work from the stock you keep at the unit, with a flag when stock runs low. Eligible completed visits also come with a CleanCheck report.

That list also tells you what to ask of any other quote. The booking form itself asks for the variables that actually move a turnover: beds to reset, sofa beds to reset, who supplies linens (Host · JAS Cleaning · No linen service), on-site laundry loads, and whether it is a same-day guest turnover. A “per-turnover rate” that never asked about beds or laundry is not quoting the same product — it is quoting a light clean under a different name.

Per turnover means the cost follows your calendar

The useful consequence of the model: cleaning stops being a fixed cost. A month with no bookings generates no turnovers, and every turnover that does happen sits against one specific reservation — the same reservation where you charge (or absorb) your guest cleaning fee. How to put that number in front of the guest is its own decision, with its own guide: cleaning fee, or build it into the nightly rate?

And what moves the number here in Miami — sand in beach units, salt air, condo-tower access rules, storm season — is the local half of this question, with its own article: how much Airbnb turnover cleaning costs in Miami.

When one turnover is not priced as one turnover

The per-turnover rate assumes normal use. When a checkout goes well beyond that — heavy kitchen mess, stains, party aftermath — the turnover page publishes exactly what happens: the condition is documented in photos, you are told what was found, and the visit is flagged as needing extra time or a deep clean instead; that photo record is yours if you need to raise it with your booking platform. And a unit that has sat closed between seasons may need a deep clean — starting at $375, its own published price — before it goes back on a turnover rhythm.

Quick answers

The short version

It is charged per turnover, and the rate is known before the guest is: a published $225 per checkout at every listed size, $225+ at 4 BR+ · 3 bath, on published durations of one to three hours. The rate is flat inside a published 20-item scope covering beds, baths, restock, and photos to your dashboard — and that scope, not the number alone, is what makes a quote comparable. No payment at booking; billed after each completed visit.

This guide is part of the JAS operating playbook — written so a host can compare turnover rates by what they include, not by the bare number.
