A vacation rental is only as good as how clean it is when the next guest walks in. A second home is the same story on a slower schedule: you want to arrive to a clean house, not spend the first afternoon of your weekend scrubbing.
Swiftwater Houseworks cleans vacation rentals and second homes around Cle Elum, Roslyn and Suncadia. We’re local and bonded, and we’re glad to work while you’re miles away.
Turnover cleaning between guests
Every turnover covers the rooms guests notice first:
- Kitchen cleaned and reset for the next stay
- Bathrooms cleaned top to bottom
- Living spaces tidied, with light dusting
- Floors vacuumed, swept and mopped
- Restocking the supplies your guests expect to find
The goal is simple. The next guest should walk in and feel like they’re the first one to stay there.
A few things on the owner’s side make every turnover go better: a locked closet with backup supplies, a second set of linens so beds can be made while the first set is in the wash, and clear notes on how you want the place left. The more we know about your house, the more it looks the same every time a guest opens the door.
Brandon & his team are fantastic. The crew is cheerful & personable. Many homes in our neighborhood use Swiftwater Earthworks for jobs large & small.
Photo-proof checklists
When you’re not there, you need to know the work was done. Our cleans follow a checklist with photos, so you can see the kitchen, the bathrooms and the living spaces before your guests do. If the photos show something off, like a broken lamp or a new stain, you know about it before the next guest does.
Add-ons
- Laundry
- Hot tub service
- Extra garbage after a big group or a long stay
- Deep cleans for the corners a regular turnover doesn’t reach
- Same-day turnovers when check-out and check-in land on the same day
Opening and closing a second home
A house that sits empty still collects dust and cobwebs. An opening clean in spring or early summer means you walk into a house that’s ready, not one that smells shut up. A closing clean in the fall means you don’t come back to last season’s crumbs, and getting the garbage out keeps it from drawing in wildlife while the place sits empty.
A deep clean once a year, or after a busy rental season, catches the corners and high spots that a regular turnover passes over.
For real estate agents and builders
We also clean for real estate agents getting a home ready to list and for builders finishing a project. Our handyman services can take care of the punch list in the same trip.
Part of vacation home care
Cleaning is one piece of vacation home care, which also covers repairs, the yard and keeping an eye on the place while you’re away. One local call handles all of it.
