A turnover clean resets a short-term rental between guests: fresh linens, sanitized bathrooms, restocked consumables, a full clean, and a damage check — all photo-ready for the next arrival. It combines a standard clean with hotel-style restocking and inspection, on a tight same-day window. In the Jacksonville area, turnovers typically start around $90 and scale with bedrooms, bathrooms and linen loads.
