Normally, a complete turn can be completed by two personnel in just under 4-hours.

If pet hair is found on the furniture or bedding, considerable time is required to wash/dry/rewash/dry to achieve the required results. If the floors or baths are excessively dirty and require more than one pass, you will be charged appropriately, with a $100 minimum. If bedding, towels, furniture, floors or walls are stained beyond normal cleaning, you will be charged for additional cleaning, replacement or repairs.
