Turnover

Definition

The clean between two stays. In Lemon a turnover is a checkout cleaning job created for every guest checkout, scheduled at the property's checkout time (default 11:00) and expected to finish before the next check-in (default 15:00). A same-day turnover is when both fall on the same date.

Also called: turnover clean, checkout clean, changeover

Turnovers are the unit of work Lemon exists to schedule. Each one carries the property, the scheduled date and time, the job type (checkout, mid-stay or manual), an urgency, the assigned cleaner, the checklist and photo areas, and a timeline: offered, confirmed, started (optionally with a GPS check), photos submitted, completed. 506 of the 533 jobs Lemon has created since February 2026 are checkout turnovers; the median takes 93 minutes.

A turnover is also what Lemon's calendar handling protects. When Booking.com or Airbnb changes or drops a booking in its calendar, Lemon's rules make sure a real turnover keeps its cleaner, and a turnover that is not real does not send one. The average stay on Lemon's estate is 4.8 nights, so a property sees roughly six turnovers a month in season.

Technical details

The job types are checkout, mid_stay and manual. The sync guards that protect a turnover are re-key adoption, the forward-trim pin, the merged-block rules and the imminent window.
