Deep cleaning vs regular cleaning: which one do you need?

Both keep your home clean, but they do different jobs. Regular cleaning maintains your home. Deep cleaning resets it.

What a regular clean covers

• Kitchen counters, sink, stovetop and appliance fronts
• Bathrooms: toilet, tub, shower, sink and mirrors
• Dusting reachable surfaces
• Vacuuming and mopping floors
• Emptying garbage and recycling

What a deep clean adds

• Inside the oven, fridge and microwave
• Grout, tiles and shower glass descaled
• Baseboards, door frames and vents hand-wiped
• Behind and under furniture and appliances
• Light fixtures, blinds and window sills

When to book a deep clean

• Before starting regular cleaning service
• For spring or fall cleaning
• Before guests, holidays or an event
• After a renovation or a long stay away
• When moving in or out

The best of both

Many households book a deep clean a few times a year and weekly or bi-weekly regular cleaning in between. The deep clean removes build-up, and the regular visits stop it coming back.
