Cleaning companies offer many services; each one is meant to accomplish a unique goal. However, two services are the most common: regular cleaning and deep cleaning. In this blog post, we focus on the latter. Continue reading to learn all you need to know about deep cleaning services and how you might benefit from booking one for your home. 

What is deep cleaning?

A regular house cleaning service is the equivalent of your daily or weekly housework routine. Standard cleaning services are essential for maintaining a level of cleanliness in your home. Besides their regular service, cleaning companies always include a thorough cleaning service, usually called Deep Cleaning. Deep cleaning is a top-to-bottom service that covers time-consuming tasks commonly put aside during everyday household chores. Homeowners hire for this service from time to time, and it works as a complement to your cleaning routine. 

What’s the difference between regular cleaning and deep cleaning?

Both services include all the essential cleaning chores. However, regular cleanings don’t take much time because they cover basic tasks that will keep your home’s most frequented areas in good condition. However, you are supposed to hire a deep cleaning service when your place is messier than average. The main difference compared to regular cleaning is that it includes more cleaning chores, and also, the professional cleaner pays more attention to detail when cleaning.  For this reason, deep cleaning your home might take longer. 

What’s included in a home deep cleaning?

A professional cleaner should accomplish the most basic cleaning tasks (vacuuming and mopping floors, dusting furnishings, and wiping appliances and surfaces) in less than two hours. However, there are spots in your home that need to be cleaned from time to time. When you hire a deep cleaning, your service provider sends you a maid to take care of the hidden and time-consuming cleaning tasks. Deep cleaning services may vary depending on how often you hire professional cleaners. Most cleaning companies recommend deep cleaning to first-timers. After that, household chores can be managed in less time.

A deep cleaning checklist includes roughly the following tasks (sometimes a chore is upon request):

• Cleaning the baseboards 
• Dusting ceiling fans and light fixtures
• Wiping doors and door frames
• Dusting blinds
• Spot cleaning the walls
• Wiping down light switches
• Cleaning kitchen kickboards
• Cleaning behind and inside the refrigerator and oven
• Dusting behind major furniture
• Cleaning cobwebs from reachable spots
• Detailed bathroom cleaning

Cleaning services are highly customizable because every home is different. Residential cleaning businesses often opt for giving their clients a list with additional services they could add upon request. Right after you book your service, tell the cleaning company which tasks you want to include in your deep cleaning service. Your service provider should strive to cover all your cleaning needs!

Consider that clutter-free homes are easier to clean. Cleaning companies ask their clients to clear the clutter or dirty laundry before the service. Organization-related tasks like storing the pantry or putting clothes in drawers are usually never included in deep cleaning services.
