TLA Turnover Cleaning for Property Owners
Turnover cleaning gets a TLA apartment guest-ready between one family checking out and the next checking in, often on the same day. We serve TLA and short-term rental owners around Ramstein, Landstuhl and Kaiserslautern with a fixed per-unit rate, photo confirmation after every turnover, and capacity that holds through PCS season.
We confirm every request within 2 business hours.
What a TLA turnover actually requires
A turnover is not a light tidy-up. Between two families you need a full reset: kitchen and appliances cleaned, bathrooms descaled, floors done, beds stripped and remade, linens and towels handled, consumables restocked, and the unit checked for damage before the next guest walks in. All of it inside a window that is often four to six hours.
The difference between a good and a bad turnover service is not cleaning skill, it is reliability under time pressure. A unit that is not ready at 3 p.m. means a family with children and luggage sitting in a lobby, a bad review, and a phone call you did not want.
What is included in every turnover
Fixed scope per unit, so nothing depends on who shows up that day:
- Kitchen reset: appliances inside and out, dishes, surfaces, floor
- Bathrooms descaled, mirrors, fixtures, floor, fresh towels placed
- Beds stripped and remade with fresh linens
- Linen and towel handling, laundry on site or exchanged, as agreed
- Floors vacuumed and mopped throughout
- Dusting, mirrors, glass, window sills, balcony swept
- Trash removed, bins relined, recycling sorted to German rules
- Consumables restocked: coffee, paper goods, soap, per your list
- Damage and missing-item check with photos before we leave

What owners ask us before switching
„Can you handle same-day turnovers in PCS season?“
That is the point of a contract rather than ad-hoc bookings. Contracted units get reserved capacity from May through August, which is exactly when freelance cleaners disappear and every owner in the area is looking for someone. Your slots are planned before the season starts.
„How do I know the unit is actually ready?“
You get photo confirmation after every turnover, sent the same day. If something is damaged or missing, you hear it from us with a picture attached, before the next guest finds it and writes about it in a review.
„What happens if your cleaner is sick?“
We are a company with employed staff, not a single person with a phone. A trained replacement covers the same scope from the same checklist. That continuity is the reason owners move from individual cleaners to a contract in the first place.
Why we are a good fit for this niche specifically
We already work on both sides of this market: German property standards on our FatiGlanz side, and American expectations through K-Town Cleaning. TLA sits exactly in between, since the property is German and the guests are American, and the person who has to satisfy both is you.
Practically, that means we understand the Rolladen and the recycling rules as well as we understand that a guest arriving off a transatlantic flight will judge the apartment in the first thirty seconds. Both matter, and only one of them is in a German cleaning textbook.
How pricing works for owners
Per-unit fixed rate, agreed once, invoiced monthly across all your units.
| Model | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Per-turnover flat rate | Fixed price per unit size, agreed after a first walkthrough | Owners with variable occupancy |
| Monthly contract | Reserved capacity, priority scheduling, monthly invoice | Owners with several units or steady bookings |
| Deep clean cycle | Scheduled deep clean every few months on top of turnovers | Keeping units from slowly degrading over a season |
Rates are set per unit after we see the apartments once. Multiple units in the same building reduce the per-unit price, because travel and setup are shared.
Frequently asked questions
How fast can you turn a unit around?
A standard one- or two-bedroom TLA apartment takes two to four hours depending on size and laundry handling. With a same-day checkout in the morning and check-in in the afternoon, that fits comfortably, provided we have the schedule in advance rather than a call at noon.
Do you handle laundry and linens?
Yes, either on site if the unit has a washer and dryer, or as an exchange where we bring fresh sets and take used ones away. The exchange model is faster for same-day turnovers, since drying time is what usually blows the window.
Can you manage keys and access for multiple units?
Yes. Keys are logged in a written handover protocol, numbered, stored without address tags, and covered by our business liability insurance. Key boxes and code locks work fine too, and we keep access details in the property file so a replacement cleaner has them.
Question not answered here? Ask us directly, we reply within 2 business hours.
Do you work with property managers as well as individual owners?
Both. Property managers usually want one invoice across all units and a single contact, which is how we set it up by default. Individual owners with one or two apartments get the same scope and photo confirmation, just at a smaller scale.
What if a guest leaves the unit in unusually bad condition?
We document it with photos, clean what the standard turnover covers, and quote the extra work separately before doing it. You decide whether to charge it to the guest. What we do not do is silently absorb three extra hours and then argue about the invoice later.
