Map out each Colonia changeover while the calendar still has room. DM checks checkout, the next arrival, the rooms guests used and how the crew gets in, then confirms the reset, any $20-per-bedroom linen change and extras; washing, drying and folding guest laundry is left to the host.

Helpful guide: 7-Day Cleaning Plan Before Holiday Guests
Before we confirm your appointment
Cleaning products and vacuum
On the first visit we bring all the cleaning products and our own vacuum. On later visits we still bring our vacuum, and we use your products: you can buy the ones you like, or we can buy them for you and give you the receipt.
Payment
We accept Zelle, Venmo and checks.
Weekday appointments
Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Time for the visit
It depends on the size and condition of the home. We don’t rush: Daniela checks every room before the crew moves on to the next, so larger homes and first visits take longer.
Tipping
Tips are never expected, but always appreciated.
Changing an appointment
Please give us 48 hours’ notice so we can offer the time to another family.
Optional keys and access
You do not need to be home if authorized entry is arranged. Providing a key or access code is optional and your choice. If you give us a key for recurring visits, we keep it on file, labeled, for your scheduled visits and return it whenever you ask or when service ends. We only accept one if you choose to give it to us. Share door, lockbox or alarm codes privately when arranging access, not in the quote form.
Missed agreed tasks
Report a missed agreed task within 24 hours of the visit; we will re-clean that task at no charge.
A return visit requires authorized access. The guarantee provides a re-clean, not a refund.

Questions about Airbnb Cleaning in Colonia
What will a Colonia short-term rental turnover cost?
Our Airbnb range is $120–$220+ for each turnover, with $120 as the floor. The final quote reflects the rental's size, bathrooms, condition and the tasks we settle on; any first deep reset is priced apart. Ask for a bed-linen change and it is $20 per bedroom, using the fresh set you leave. We leave every load of laundry to you. Appliance, cabinet and storage insides are extras set before booking.
What happens at a Colonia rental turnover?
The room-by-room list further down: kitchen surfaces and appliance fronts, bathrooms, dusting in reach, floors, high-touch spots and trash removal. The crew takes pictures solely when you have asked in advance. Dishes and guest laundry are not part of it, and a laundry corner or mudroom gets a quick tidy, nothing more.
Whose crew resets a Colonia listing after each checkout?
Daniela Marque and the same small crew she employs, never subcontractors. DM House Cleaning is NJ MBE certified. Report a reset item we missed within 24 hours and it is cleaned again at no charge, as the guarantee terms describe.
How far out should a Colonia host reserve a turnover?
As soon as the stay is set. Send the checkout time, the next check-in and entry details; the turnover is confirmed when our weekday schedule and the reset both fit.
Which details does a Colonia host send before the first reset?
The rooms guests may use, the checkout and next check-in times, who lets us in and where we park, whether that is near Inman Avenue or elsewhere in Colonia. If the reset cannot fit that gap, we say so before booking; linens you supply and any interiors are added to the price only when you ask.
Who stocks linens, toiletries and supplies at a Colonia rental?
You do: clean linens, towels, toiletries and any restock items. On request we change the bed linen for $20 per bedroom; washing, drying and folding are not offered. Say where supplies are kept and confirm any towel setup or restocking before booking.
Can you reset a Colonia rental between same-day guests?
Yes, when it is booked ahead and the window between checkout and check-in can be confirmed. Give us checkout and check-in times, where to park or use the driveway, and how big the home is. Availability is confirmed before booking.
Could my Colonia rental need two resets between Monday and Friday?
Yes, when each stay leaves its own weekday gap between guests. We quote each Colonia reset by itself and confirm it on its own.
What if a guest damaged something at my Colonia rental?
Our crew reports any damage it spots and points out the spot. Fixing it, and taking it up with the guest, remain the host's side of things.
A Colonia guest wants to stay past checkout. How does that change the reset?
Let us know as soon as you agree to it. If the reset no longer fits before the next arrival, we set another window or date with you.
Will the crew restock soap and coffee at my Colonia listing?
No. Refilling supplies is the host's job; the crew cleans the rooms on the list and leaves your supplies in place.
