A unit that looks five-star at every check-in.
Short-term rental success depends on one thing above all else: cleanliness. Every guest turnover needs to be fast, thorough, and consistent, because one bad review costs bookings.
Four service lines, one contract.
LPJ Services provides reliable turnover cleaning and ongoing maintenance for Airbnb hosts and short-term rental managers across Chicago, with the speed and quality your reviews depend on.
What hosts and property managers care about.
The turnover window
Checkout to check-in is a short window. The turnover is scheduled inside it, unit by unit.
What the next guest notices
Hair in the bathroom, crumbs in the kitchen and a bed not made right are what reviews mention. Those are on every turnover.
Knowing it was done
Photo documentation between turnovers, so you can see the unit is ready without driving over.
Several properties at once
Every property and every visit sits in one client portal, with its invoices.
Deeper cleaning between seasons
Floors, windows and exterior washing can be scheduled between bookings to keep the unit from wearing down.
How a short-term rental program runs.
| Cadence | Every turnover, plus deeper cleaning on a schedule you set. |

What short-term rental owners ask.
How quickly can you start service on a new property?
For most properties, we can begin within 5-7 business days of signing an agreement. We use that time to conduct building-specific training and coordinate access credentials with your management office.
How often should VCT floors be stripped and waxed?
It depends on traffic volume. High-traffic areas like main lobbies and corridors typically need a full strip-and-wax 3-4 times per year. Lower-traffic areas may only need it 1-2 times. We recommend interim buff-and-recoat service between full strip cycles to maintain appearance.
How often should commercial windows be cleaned?
Most office and commercial properties clean windows quarterly. Retail storefronts and hospitality properties often require monthly service. Buildings in high-pollution or construction-adjacent areas may need more frequent cleaning. We recommend a frequency based on your building's exposure and tenant expectations.
How often should commercial properties be power washed?
Most properties benefit from quarterly sidewalk and entryway washing. Parking garages typically need semi-annual or annual deep washing. High-traffic retail and restaurant properties often need monthly service. We'll recommend a schedule based on your property type and traffic patterns.
