A launch clean happens once move-in furniture and staging are finished but before the first guest checks in — the property's very first professional clean, done in the same week listing photos are usually taken. Book it once the unit is furniture-complete; Las Vegas STR Cleaning scopes pricing at that visit since there's no turnover history yet to go by.
Book a launch clean once the furniture is in and the staging is done, not on a fixed number of days before opening night. Most hosts schedule it the same week as listing photos, since a property that's never been professionally cleaned still carries move-in dust, packaging residue, and construction grime that photos will pick up just as clearly as a guest would.
There's no turnover history to work from on a launch visit — no prior clean to compare against, no established baseline for what 'normal' looks like in that unit — so the crew treats every surface as unchecked rather than working off what a guest likely touched.
Does a property already hosting under a different cleaner still need one?
Switching cleaning providers isn't the same as opening a brand-new listing, but the first visit under a new account works the same way — Las Vegas STR Cleaning has no turnover history on that unit yet, so the first clean still gets treated as a full pass rather than a routine touch-up, even if the property has hosted guests for years.
That matters most for co-hosts consolidating several properties onto one cleaning account after using a mix of individual cleaners — the launch visit is where Las Vegas STR Cleaning sets its own before-and-after record for the unit, separate from whatever the previous provider left behind.
How far ahead does a launch clean need to be booked?
Current hours: Mon–Tue 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM, Wed 8:00 AM – 6:00 AM, Thu–Fri 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM, Sat 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, Sun 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM.
Call ahead of the target move-in date rather than the night before; a launch clean isn't something the schedule can always absorb same-day the way a routine turnover sometimes can.
Can the launch clean happen the same day as the listing photos?
It can, and often does — booking the clean for the morning of a photo shoot means the crew finishes before the photographer arrives. Confirm the photo appointment time first so the clean is scheduled to end well ahead of it, not overlapping it.
What if the property is furnished but hasn't hosted a paying guest yet?
It still needs the launch visit. Furnished and move-in ready isn't the same as guest-ready — appliance interiors, window tracks, and fixtures that installers and movers touched haven't been cleaned to a turnover standard yet.
Is a launch clean priced differently than a regular turnover?
Yes — bedroom-count pricing works for a routine turnover because there's a known baseline; a launch clean doesn't have one, so Las Vegas STR Cleaning scopes it at the visit based on what move-in actually left behind, then confirms the number before booking.
Does the quality of a launch clean actually affect a new listing's reviews?
It's usually the first cleaning guests experience on that property, and first-stay reviews carry disproportionate weight on a brand-new listing. Las Vegas STR Cleaning holds a 5 rating across 26 Google reviews, and a launch visit gets the same inspection pass as a regular turnover — nothing about being 'the first one' lowers the bar.
