Cleanings after Airbnb stays?

Hello everyone! We have a pretty successful vacation rental here in North Park, San Diego. It’s almost at full capacity on a monthly basis. With this, I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations on great cleaners in the area, especially when it’s a same-day turn around. It’s been challenging to find good people, who are reliable and understand the vacation rental business.  Also, how often do you deep clean with short term rentals? After every stay? And by a deep clean, I mean cleaning baseboards, under and behind coaches, areas you wouldn’t typically see cleaned in a standard cleaning. Appreciate any advice!

@Brett Ramos it's trial and error in pretty much every vacation market across the country when it comes to cleaners. In both of my live properties in Tahoe and Miami, we had to cycle through multiple cleaners before landing on ones that were reliable and at a decent price (hopefully it won't be the same for our upcoming Smoky Mountains and Disney World properties). Just keep searching on google and don't accept anything below your standards.

In terms of deep cleaning, it really just depends on the property. A good cleaning crew will spot that out for you, and typically you can accomplish it on days you don't have a same-day turnover. However, a bigger issue than cleaning in San Diego is the change in laws to a lottery system. What do you plan on doing if you don't get a permit?
