A deep clean and seasonal reset covers what a routine turnover skips — grout lines, appliance interiors, window tracks, baseboards, ceiling fans — brought back to a fresh baseline. Fort Lauderdale STR Cleaning schedules these ahead of peak season or after a property sits vacant, pricing each job against the property rather than off a published rate list.
Grout goes gray, ceiling fan blades collect a layer of dust an air-conditioned unit never quite clears on its own, and a stovetop wiped clean after every turnover still needs its burner rings pulled and scrubbed eventually. A deep clean and seasonal reset is where those slower-building jobs get handled — not after every guest, but on a schedule tied to the season or to a gap in bookings.
Most of these get scheduled around the run-up to winter booking season, or right after a property has sat vacant or come off a long-term tenant, which is when the buildup is worst.
What gets touched in a deep clean that a turnover skips?
The base reset moves past what's visible on a quick pass. Appliances get opened up rather than fronted — oven interior, fridge shelves, microwave. Grout lines and tile get scrubbed rather than mopped over. Window tracks, screens, baseboards and ceiling fan blades all get attention that a between-guest turnover has no time for.

What's billed separately from the base reset?
Carpet cleaning, exterior window cleaning and pressure washing sit outside the base deep-clean reset and get quoted as add-ons, priced against the property rather than off a flat rate. Locally, other Fort Lauderdale-area providers publish carpet cleaning around $25–$125, window cleaning around $75–$300, and pressure washing around $100–$350 — Fort Lauderdale STR Cleaning gives an actual number for the property after seeing what's needed, not by reading off that published range.
A private pool follows the same pattern: other local pool services publish $25–$100 per visit, and it gets scoped as its own line rather than folded into the interior reset.
When does a property need this instead of a regular turnover?
Before the winter booking season ramps up, after a long vacancy, or right after a long-term tenant moves out — those are the three points where the gap between a turnover and an actual reset shows up most.
How often should a rental get a deep clean?
Most owners schedule one before the winter high season starts and again after any stretch where the property sat empty or housed a long-term tenant. There's no fixed interval built into every booking cycle.
Is carpet or window cleaning included in the deep clean price?
No — those are quoted separately from the base reset. Other Fort Lauderdale-area providers publish carpet cleaning around $25–$125 and window cleaning around $75–$300, but the actual number here comes from seeing the property, not a flat list.
Do you pressure wash the exterior as part of a seasonal reset?
It's available as an add-on, scoped and quoted separately from the interior work. Other local pressure-washing providers publish rates from $100 to $350, which gives a sense of range, though this operator prices the actual job after seeing it.
