Turnover Cleaning Services for Post Construction Buildings

What Is Turnover Cleaning?

Turnover cleaning is the janitorial cleaning performed when a commercial building or tenant space is ready to be handed off from the contractor to the owner or tenant. It is the final cleaning step before keys change hands — and it must be completed on schedule, to specification, with documented scope and sign-off.
