Fort Lauderdale STR Cleaning turns over vacation-rental houses booked through VRBO — stripping and remaking every bed, resetting each bathroom and the kitchen — and books pool, carpet, or window service on top when the property has them. Market pricing for a Fort Lauderdale turnover typically runs $100–$375 for a one-bedroom house and $100–$275 for a two-bedroom.
A VRBO listing is almost always a full house, which means more of the add-on work than a studio or one-bedroom rental — a private pool, wall-to-wall carpet or area rugs, a full run of windows, sometimes a driveway or pool deck that needs pressure washing between long bookings. Fort Lauderdale STR Cleaning prices those as line items on top of the standard turnover rather than folding a guess into one flat number.
Pool cleaning in this market typically runs $25–$100, carpet or rug cleaning $25–$125, window cleaning $75–$300, and pressure washing $100–$350 — ranges pulled from what other Fort Lauderdale-area operators publish, not a quote from this business. What a property actually needs, and how often, gets decided on the walkthrough before the first turnover, not guessed from square footage.
What add-ons come up most on a VRBO house that a condo turnover skips?
A three- or four-bedroom vacation home usually comes with a private pool, tile or wood flooring instead of a single studio's carpet footprint, and an exterior guests actually use — patio furniture, a grill, a pool deck. Those get scheduled around the booking calendar, not squeezed into a same-day turnover window.

Why does a rug get billed differently than a wipe-down?
A quick vacuum pass happens at every turnover as part of the base clean. An area rug tracked with sand or stained over a multi-week booking needs the same deeper treatment as wall-to-wall carpet — a separate visit, not five extra minutes tacked onto a changeover. That's booked as the carpet-cleaning add-on, typically $25–$125 in this market, the same range whether it's a rug or fitted carpet.
Does the base turnover price change with the size of the house?
Market turnover pricing in this metro splits by bedroom count more than anything else: a one-bedroom vacation home typically runs $100–$375, a two-bedroom $100–$275, and pricing climbs from there with square footage and add-ons layered on top. Those ranges come from what other Fort Lauderdale-area operators publish, not a fixed rate — the actual quote depends on the walkthrough.
Does the standard VRBO turnover include pool cleaning?
No — the standard turnover covers the interior reset: beds, bathrooms, kitchen. Pool cleaning is a separate add-on, typically $25–$100 in this market, worth booking on the same visit since a cloudy pool is one of the first things a guest photographs.
Is window cleaning included for a whole-home rental?
Not in the base turnover. It's priced as an add-on, typically $75–$300 depending on how much glass the house has, and it's best scheduled between longer bookings rather than a same-day changeover.
Do you clean rugs the same as carpet?
Yes — an area rug that needs more than a vacuum pass gets the same deeper treatment as wall-to-wall carpet, billed as the same carpet-cleaning add-on, typically $25–$125 in this market.
Can pressure washing be scheduled between two long bookings instead of a same-day turnover?
Yes — pressure washing a driveway or pool deck, typically $100–$350 in this market, gets scheduled in the gap between bookings rather than squeezed into a turnover window. Call (754) 354-3887 with the booking calendar and it gets set up around it.
