When to Choose Between a Deep Cleaning and a Standard Cleaning

Are you prepared to hire a deep cleaning professional? You’re not alone. Many homeowners choose professional cleaning services for the advantages they provide. However, understanding the difference between deep cleaning and standard cleaning is crucial when booking a cleaning service. Here’s a breakdown of both types of cleaning services to help you decide which one best suits your needs.

Standard Cleaning

When you hire a professional cleaning service for standard cleaning, it typically includes the regular tasks you would do on a weekly basis to maintain your home. A standard cleaner is designed to help keep your home clean and tidy without tackling deeply ingrained dirt or hidden areas. The following tasks are usually included in a standard cleaning:

• Vacuuming floors throughout the home
• Organizing the house to maintain a tidy appearance
• Disinfecting and cleaning the bathroom (including sinks, toilets, bathtubs, mirrors, etc.)
• Kitchen cleaning, which includes surface cleaning, appliance cleaning, and trash removal

Standard cleaning tasks are ideal for residential cleaning services and are customizable based on your preferences. It’s up to you how frequently you want this type of cleaning done for your home. Most homeowners opt for standard cleaning on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis to maintain cleanliness.

Deep Cleaning Services

Now that you’re familiar with standard cleaning, let’s talk about deep cleaning. If you're hiring a cleaning service for the first time or haven't done a thorough clean in a while, a deep cleaning is typically the way to go. While it costs more than a standard cleaning, the investment is worth it for a more thorough, detailed clean.

A deep cleaning service addresses areas that are often overlooked during routine cleaning and targets deep dirt and grime. It includes everything from regular cleaning tasks to more intensive jobs. Some of the additional services offered with deep cleaning include:

• Soap scum and scale removal from shower heads, taps, and kitchen tiles
• Cleaning behind appliances like refrigerators, ovens, or washing machines
• Dusting baseboards and doors throughout the home
• Cleaning interior windows for a streak-free finish
• Cleaning window frames and patio doors
• Cleaning the interior doors of your oven

As you can see, a deep cleaning service is far more thorough than a standard cleaning. It’s ideal for homes that require more than just routine upkeep—whether because of neglect, a special occasion, or after a move-in or move-out.

Which Service Should You Choose?

Now, you might be wondering: when is it appropriate to choose deep cleaning versus standard cleaning? Here are some tips:

• Deep cleaning is typically a great starting point for new clients or if you’ve never had a professional cleaner before. This service will get your home to a fresh, spotless state.
• Once your home has been deep cleaned, you may choose to maintain its cleanliness with standard cleaning services on a recurring basis (e.g., weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly).
• Deep cleaning is also a good idea when moving into a new home, preparing for a special event, or after home renovations, as it ensures a comprehensive, detailed clean.
