Savannah guests expect more than just a clean room; they expect Southern hospitality and a flawless "Hostess City" experience.
In a market where a single 4-star review for cleanliness can impact your search ranking, consistency is your most valuable asset. Our Savannah turnover program is built as a repeatable operating system that protects your property’s historic integrity while ensuring every guest arrives to a five-star environment.
Managing Savannah’s "Yellow Season"
Savannah’s famous oaks create a unique challenge for local hosts: heavy seasonal pollen. During the peak spring months, pollen can infiltrate even the most secure properties, coating porches, window sills, and entryways.
Pollen Protocol for Hosts
During peak "Yellow Season," we implement outdoor-to-inward transitions. Our teams prioritize wiping down porch furniture and window tracks before starting internal resets, ensuring guests don't track pollen onto cleaned historic floors.

Savannah Turnover FAQs
How do you protect original heart-pine floors?
We use microfiber mops and pH-neutral cleaners specifically formulated for historic wood. We avoid steam mopping and harsh chemicals that can strip original waxes or finishes common in District properties.
Can you handle Tybee Island sand issues?
Yes. For island properties, we use dual-stage vacuuming and detailed track cleaning to ensure sand doesn't migrate from entryways into bedroom carpets or bathroom tiles.
Do you coordinate with maintenance for historic properties?
We flag common historic property issues—such as slow drains or loose fixtures—immediately during the arrival scan, allowing you to dispatch maintenance before the check-in window closes.
