Pre-Arrival Cleaning

A guest's opinion of a rental sets in before the key ever turns — in the driveway, on the porch, at the grill. Turnover windows rarely leave more than a few hours between one party's checkout and the next arrival, and nobody is on site to notice what changed outside since the last booking ended. Pre-arrival cleaning closes that gap: a standing exterior reset run to the calendar, not a one-off call.

The list covers what a guest actually touches first. Grills get scrubbed and the propane tank checked, so nobody arrives to a dead burner mid-cookout. Driveways, walkways and porches get blown clear of pollen, sand and leaf litter — oak pollen alone can film a dark driveway yellow within days during a Lowcountry spring, long before a guest ever parks on it.

Accessible windows are rinsed as needed to cut the salt haze that coastal air leaves behind, along with the hard-water spotting irrigation systems add over a season. Outdoor showers get blown out and rinsed down, clearing the sand and mildew that build up fast once a shower sits unused for the stretch between guests.

Overflowing trash is pulled and recycled before it sits full in the heat and draws pests, a quick problem when bins go unchecked for days between bookings. On pet-friendly properties, the yard is cleared of dog waste too — a liability point for any rental host, and not what the next family wants their kids to find first.

This runs as a standing service for owners and managers in Mount Pleasant, Charleston and the surrounding rental markets, scheduled around the turnover calendar rather than called in after a bad review. Pre-arrival cleaning means the exterior already looks right before anyone walks the property to check.
