    Deep Cleaning vs. Regular Cleaning: What's the Difference?

    What is Regular Cleaning?

    Regular cleaning (or standard cleaning) is designed to maintain a good level of cleanliness around the house. It covers the basic chores that need to be done on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.

    • Dusting surfaces, furniture, and window sills
    • Vacuuming and mopping floors
    • Wiping down kitchen counters and appliances (exterior)
    • Cleaning bathrooms (toilets, sinks, showers)
    • Emptying trash bins

    What is Deep Cleaning?

    Deep cleaning goes much further than your standard weekly clean. It involves intensive cleaning that reaches the deep grime and dirt in your home. We recommend a deep clean at least twice a year, or before starting a recurring service.

    • Cleaning behind and under heavy appliances and furniture
    • Wiping down baseboards, doors, and door frames
    • Cleaning inside the oven and refrigerator
    • Detailed dusting of ceiling fans, light fixtures, and blinds
    • Scrubbing grout lines in the kitchen and bathroom

    Which One Do You Need?

    If you've consistently maintained your home or recently had a deep clean, a regular recurring service is perfect. However, if it's been a few months since your home had a thorough scrub, or if you're preparing for an event or the holidays, a deep clean is the way to go.
