Keep your vacation property guest-ready with professional cleaning
Check-out is at 11. The next guests arrive at 4. In between, the house has to go from used to untouched. That window is where Agape Cleaning Services works.
We provide vacation rental cleaning in Palm Desert, CA for Airbnb, VRBO and other short-term rental hosts. We reset the bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and living areas between stays so every guest walks into a clean, fresh home, and you don't spend your changeover day scrubbing showers.
Agape is a locally owned company based on Country Club Drive in Palm Desert, not a franchise or a national chain. We work with individual hosts, owners who rent out a second home for part of the year, and property managers. Call (949) 566-4664 or request a free estimate, and we'll price the clean for your actual property.
Vacation rental cleaning is the full reset between one stay and the next. It's different from a regular house clean because it runs on a deadline, and guests judge the result the moment they open the door. Cleanliness is one of the things guests rate after every stay, so a dusty ceiling fan or a smeared shower door shows up in your reviews, not only in the room.
In Palm Desert, that pressure comes in waves. The high season runs roughly from fall through spring, and back-to-back bookings are common. Then some homes sit quiet through the summer and need a proper refresh before the first guests of the season. Our vacation rental cleaning in Palm Desert, CA covers both: quick turnovers when the calendar is full, and a deeper reset when a property has been empty for a while.
If you're still setting up your rental, the City of Palm Desert's short-term rental page explains the permit and tax requirements. We handle the cleaning once you're ready to host.
We work room by room, so nothing depends on memory. A standard turnover covers the following.
Beds are stripped and remade with fresh linens. Surfaces are dusted, floors are vacuumed, and common areas are cleaned and put back in order so the space looks the way your listing photos do.
Toilets, showers, tubs, sinks and mirrors are cleaned and sanitized, and bathroom essentials are restocked.
Counters, sinks and faucets are sanitized. Stovetops and backsplashes are degreased, cabinet fronts and appliance exteriors are wiped down, and floors are swept and mopped. For a closer look at how we handle kitchens, see our kitchen cleaning service.
Interior windows and glass doors are wiped, trash is removed, and hard floors are mopped.
If there's something your guests always notice, tell us and we'll add it to the checklist for your property.
A rental in the desert collects messes that a home elsewhere doesn't. These are the ones we keep an eye on.
Desert dust drifts in through sliding doors and settles on furniture, blinds and window tracks. It's easy to miss until afternoon sunlight hits it. We dust and wipe surfaces at every turnover so it doesn't pile up between guests, and a periodic deep clean handles the higher spots like ceiling fans.
Mineral spotting on shower glass, faucets and mirrors is common in desert homes. It gets harder to remove the longer it sits, so we pay attention to the places where it shows first.
Large glass doors and picture windows sell a Palm Desert rental, and they show every fingerprint. Interior glass is wiped at each turnover. If the outside of the windows needs attention, our window cleaning service covers that separately.
Guests spend a lot of time outside, and patio furniture collects dust quickly. If your rental has a patio, outdoor dining area or pool deck, mention it when you ask for an estimate so we can scope it into the clean.
A house left vacant for weeks needs more than a turnover. Before the season opens, or after a long gap between bookings, a deep clean brings the property back to guest-ready.

Vacation rental hosts need a cleaner who shows up on time and leaves the home guest-ready. Here's what sets our service apart.
We're based in Palm Desert and serve the wider Coachella Valley. Learn more about our team.
We already clean for HOA communities and property-managed buildings, so gate procedures and building rules aren't new to us.
We set up the plan for each property instead of running one script through every house.
You'll know what's included before we start, and you can reach us by phone if plans change.
We use professional-grade equipment and eco-conscious products whenever possible.
We quote vacation rental cleaning by property, not with one flat rate for every home. These are the factors that move the price:
Most hosts pass some or all of the cost on through the guest-facing cleaning fee, so it helps to have a firm quote before you set your listing price. Share the details above with us and we'll give you a number for your property.
Our base is in Palm Desert, and we also serve nearby Coachella Valley cities including Indian Wells, La Quinta, Rancho Mirage, Cathedral City, Indio, Coachella and Palm Springs. If you're not sure whether your property is in range, call us, and we'll confirm. You can see the full list on our areas we serve page.
A turnover clean resets the home after each stay. A deep clean goes further, into the buildup a between-guests clean doesn't have time for. Most rentals need both.
Consider booking a deep clean when:
There isn't one schedule that fits every property. A home that turns over three times a week wears differently from one rented a few weekends a month, so we suggest looking at how the place actually looks after turnovers and adjusting from there.
A few things help us do the job well:
It includes a full reset of the home between guests: bedrooms and common areas cleaned, bathrooms and kitchen sanitized, beds changed to fresh linens, essentials restocked, trash removed and floors cleaned. We build the exact checklist around your property, so tell us if you need extras like patios or inside appliances.
A turnover runs on a booking calendar, so it's built for speed and consistency, and it includes guest-specific work such as changing linens and restocking. A regular house clean is routine upkeep with no arrival deadline.
It depends on the size of the home, how many people stayed and the condition they left it in. A one-bedroom condo is a different job from a five-bedroom house with a patio. We'll give you a realistic time window when we quote.
The price depends on the home's size, how often you turn over, how linens and restocking are handled, and any extras such as outdoor areas or exterior windows. Rather than quoting a generic rate, we give free estimates based on your property.
Same-day turns are common in short-term rentals. Send us your usual checkout and check-in times and we'll confirm whether the window works for your property.
