What’s Included in Apartment Turn Cleaning

A good turn clean is more than a quick wipe-down. We focus on high-visibility areas and high-touch surfaces so units feel fresh for the next resident. Scopes can be customized based on unit condition and your turn timeline.

Common make-ready cleaning tasks:

  • Counters, sinks, and surface wipe-downs
  • Bathroom cleaning (tub/shower, toilet, vanity, mirrors)
  • Floor cleaning (vacuum/mop as appropriate)
  • Baseboards, doors, and trim wipe-down
  • Trash removal and final tidy-up (as requested)

Why Make-Ready Cleaning Matters

A clean unit shows better, leases faster, and reduces complaints after move-in. Turn-ready cleaning helps property teams hit deadlines, improve first impressions, and deliver a more consistent move-in experience across units.

Great for:

  • Units being prepared for showing
  • Move-out / move-in turnovers
  • Deep cleans after heavy use
  • Final walk-through readiness

Our Process

Step 1 — Scope & Timeline

We confirm the unit address, access details, and your turn deadline.

Step 2 — Pre-Clean Check

We identify priority areas and note anything that may require add-ons (heavy build-up, extra detailing).

Step 3 — Deep Clean Focus Areas

Bathrooms, kitchens, and high-touch surfaces get detailed attention.

Step 4 — Floors + Finishing Details

We clean floors and complete finishing touches like baseboards, doors, and final wipe-downs.

Step 5 — Walk-Ready Closeout

We wrap up with a final check so the unit is ready to show and ready for move-in.

FAQ

Common Questions

1) WHAT IS MAKE-READY CLEANING FOR APARTMENT TURNS?

Make-ready cleaning is a turn-focused clean for vacant units to get them ready for showings and move-in. We target high-visibility areas and high-touch surfaces—kitchens, bathrooms, floors, and common touchpoints—so the unit feels clean, bright, and “walk-ready.”

2) DO YOU OFFER MOVE-OUT AND MOVE-IN CLEANING IN HOUSTON?

Yes. We provide move-out and move-in cleaning for vacant units as part of the turn process. Property teams can request standard turn cleaning, and we can add heavier-detail work when a unit needs extra attention.

3) WHAT AREAS DO YOU FOCUS ON MOST DURING A TURN CLEAN?

We focus on the areas that impact first impressions and leasing the most:

  • Kitchens (counters, sink, exterior surfaces, floor)
  • Bathrooms (tub/shower, toilet, vanity, mirrors)
  • Floors (vacuum/mop as appropriate)

High-touch points (doors, trim, baseboards, switches as requested)
We finish with a final tidy-up so the unit presents well.

4) CAN YOU WORK WITH OUR UNIT TURN TIMELINE AND ACCESS REQUIREMENTS?

Yes. We coordinate around your turn schedule and access details (lockbox, key pickup, unit entry notes). If you have a deadline, we’ll confirm what’s needed and prioritize the areas that help the unit show best.

5) DO YOU OFFER HEAVY CLEAN ADD-ONS FOR HEAVY BUILD-UP OR EXTRA DETAILING?

Yes. For units with heavier build-up, we offer add-on deep cleaning/detailing based on condition. During a pre-clean check, we’ll flag what needs extra time or focus so expectations are clear before we start.

6) CAN YOU BUNDLE CLEANING WITH PAINTING, DRYWALL, OR RESURFACING SERVICES?

Yes. Bayou Painting, Inc. can bundle cleaning with other turn services (painting, drywall repair/texture prep, and resurfacing) so you can schedule fewer vendors and keep the turn moving. We’ll confirm scope and sequence so the unit is ready for final walk and leasing.
