Rental Property Turnover Cleaning in Indianapolis

Rent-Ready Turns for Investors and Property Managers

An empty unit earns nothing. Every day between one tenant moving out and the next one moving in is a day of lost rent, and the cleaning is almost always the step holding up the showing.

Indy Cleaning Solutions has completed several hundred turn cleanings across single-family rentals and apartment communities in the Indianapolis area. We know what a unit needs to show well, what a property manager’s walkthrough checks, and the difference between a house that looks clean and one that is rent-ready.

We work with individual investors who own a handful of properties and with property management companies running portfolios across Central Indiana. Same standard either way.

What a Turn Cleaning Includes

A turn is not a routine cleaning done more thoroughly. It is a full reset of an empty unit, and the standard is whether the next tenant could walk in today.

Kitchen

  • Countertops, backsplash, and all surfaces cleaned
  • Inside and outside of every appliance: refrigerator, oven and range, microwave, dishwasher, and range hood

  • Inside and outside of all cabinets and drawers, including shelves and pantry
  • Sink, faucet, and fixtures scrubbed and polished

Bathrooms

  • Tubs, showers, and surrounds scrubbed

  • Toilets cleaned and sanitized, including the base and the wall behind

  • Sinks, counters, and fixtures cleaned and polished
  • Mirrors, medicine cabinets, and vanity interiors
  • Exhaust vents cleaned

Throughout the Unit

  • All floors vacuumed or mopped, including closets and corners
  • All trim and baseboards wiped down
  • Walls spot-cleaned as needed: scuffs, handprints, and marks
  • Interior windows, sills, and tracks
  • Blinds dusted and wiped
  • Light fixtures, switch plates, and outlet covers
  • Doors, door frames, and hardware
  • Closet shelves, rods, and floors
  • Air vents and returns

Every unit is different. A house that was kept well needs a different level of work than one that was not, so we scope each turn on what is in front of us, not off a fixed checklist.

Beyond the Clean

Most turns need more than cleaning, and coordinating three vendors between tenants is how a one-week vacancy becomes three. We handle the rest of the list.

Carpet Cleaning

Hot water extraction and low-moisture encapsulation, available as an add-on to any turn. Carpet is usually the single biggest factor in whether a unit shows well, and extraction pulls out what a vacuum cannot reach. Details are on our floor maintenance page.

Debris and Belongings Removal

Tenants leave things behind. We remove simple debris and leftover belongings as an add-on to the turn. When a unit needs a full trash-out (furniture, appliances, or a volume of belongings beyond what a cleaning crew handles), that is a separate service we also provide, and we will price it after seeing the unit.

Paint and Drywall Repair

Nail holes, wall damage, scuffed paint, and the ordinary wear a tenant leaves behind. We handle paint and drywall repair as an additional service, which means one vendor, one schedule, and one point of contact between tenants instead of three.

Full Renovations

For work beyond repairs (flooring replacement, kitchen and bath updates, or a full remodel between tenants), our sister company ICS Remodeling handles complete turnover renovations.

One vendor for the whole turn. Call (463) 202-3476 or request a quote.

Who We Work With

Property Management Companies

We currently work with multiple property management companies across the Indianapolis area. Managers running a portfolio need the same thing every time: a vendor who shows up, does the full scope without being chased, and does not create a second problem on turn day. We fit into your existing process instead of asking you to work around ours.

Individual Investors and Landlords

Whether you own one rental house or a dozen, you are weighing the cost of the clean against the cost of the vacancy. A turn that gets done properly the first time, with photos of the finished unit, means you can list it without driving across town to check.

Apartment Communities

Multi-unit turns work differently — different volume, different timelines, different expectations around turn season. Our apartment turnover cleaning page covers that side.

How It Works

Tell us the address, the size of the unit, and roughly what condition it is in. For most turns that is enough to price the job; for units in rough shape, or where debris removal or paint is involved, we will want to see it first.

We schedule around your timeline. Turn work happens between tenants, which means it is driven by your move-out and move-in dates, not our calendar, and we build the schedule to fit yours. If you have a showing booked, tell us when and we will work backward from it.

Why Indy Cleaning Solutions

Several Hundred Turns

This is not a service we added on. We have completed several hundred turn cleanings across single-family rentals and apartment communities. After that many, a crew stops just cleaning a unit and starts anticipating it: where the previous tenant’s damage hides, which appliances take the longest, what a walkthrough is going to catch.

Owner Oversight

Indy Cleaning Solutions is family owned and locally operated, and has been since 2016. The owners stay close enough to the work to catch problems before you do, and you will always have their direct numbers.

Fully Insured

We carry $2,000,000 in aggregate general liability coverage and provide certificates of insurance to owners and property managers on request.

Areas We Serve

We handle turnover cleaning for rental properties throughout Indianapolis and the surrounding Central Indiana communities. Our core service area includes Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, Greenwood, Avon, Plainfield, Noblesville, Westfield, and Zionsville, and we also serve Speedway, Brownsburg, Danville, Mooresville, Bargersville, Greenfield, New Palestine, and Shelbyville.

That footprint covers Marion County, Hamilton County, Hendricks County, Johnson County, Boone County, Hancock County, and Shelby County.

Turn work routes differently than recurring service. A one-time turn twenty minutes outside our usual run is a very different calculation than a nightly cleaning contract, so if your property sits just beyond that footprint, call us anyway. We can often make it work. You can see the full list on our service areas page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Turnover cleaning, often just called a turn, is the full reset of a rental unit between tenants. It covers everything a routine cleaning does plus the work that only makes sense in an empty unit: inside appliances, inside cabinets and drawers, trim and baseboards, walls, blinds, light fixtures, closets, and interior windows. The standard is not “tidy.” It is whether the next tenant could move in today.

It depends on the size of the unit and the condition it is left in, which vary more in turn work than in almost any other kind of cleaning. A well-kept two-bedroom and a neglected two-bedroom are different jobs. Tell us the address, the size, and roughly what shape it is in, and we will give you a number. For units in rough condition or where debris removal or paint is involved, we will want to walk it first.

Yes. We remove simple debris and leftover belongings as an add-on to the turn. When a unit needs a full trash-out (furniture, appliances, or a volume of belongings beyond what a cleaning crew handles), that is a separate service we also provide. Tell us what is in the unit and we will tell you which one it is.

Yes. We handle paint and drywall repair as an additional service, so nail holes, wall damage, and scuffed paint get taken care of in the same visit window, with no second vendor and no second scheduling conversation. For larger work (flooring replacement, kitchen or bath updates, full remodels), our sister company ICS Remodeling handles complete turnover renovations.

Carpet cleaning is an add-on, not part of the standard turn, because not every unit needs it. When it does, we handle hot water extraction and low-moisture encapsulation in-house with our own equipment. Carpet is often the single biggest factor in how a unit shows, so it is worth asking about during the quote.

Yes, we currently work with multiple property management companies across the Indianapolis area. If you manage a portfolio and want one vendor handling turns consistently, that is the arrangement we prefer too. Our crews learn your standards and your properties instead of treating each unit as a one-off.
