Standard Clean vs. Deep Clean: Which One Do You Really Need?

Standard Clean vs. Deep Clean: Which One Do You Really Need?

One of the most common questions clients ask before booking is: *'Do I need a standard clean or a deep clean?'* Choosing the right service ensures your home gets the exact level of care it needs without paying for unnecessary extras.

Standard Cleaning (Routine Maintenance)

Designed for homes that are already maintained on a regular basis. Standard cleans focus on surface-level maintenance:

• Countertop and sink sanitization.

• Exterior appliance wiping (fridge, oven, dishwasher).

• Vacuuming carpets and mopping hard floors.

• Dusting accessible furniture and changing bed linens.

Deep Cleaning (Top-to-Bottom Reset)

Designed for homes that haven't been professionally cleaned in over 45 days or need an intensive refresh. Deep cleans include everything in a standard clean plus extra detail hand-work:

• Hand-wiping baseboards, door casing, and door frames throughout.

• Detailed scrubbing of bathroom tile grout, shower doors, and chrome fixtures.

• Dusting ceiling fans, hanging light fixtures, and window sills.

• Hand-wiping exterior cabinet fronts in kitchen and bathrooms.

**Pro-Tip:** We always recommend starting with a initial **Deep Clean** for your first appointment, then transitioning into a recurring **Standard Clean** weekly or bi-weekly.
