Keeping a clean home is essential for comfort, health, and peace of mind. But when it comes to choosing between regular cleaning and deep cleaning, many homeowners wonder which service best suits their needs. While both are important, they serve different purposes. Let’s break down the key differences and help you decide when to schedule each.
What Is Regular Cleaning?
Regular cleaning focuses on maintaining the cleanliness of your home by tackling everyday messes and surface-level dust and dirt. It’s designed to keep your home consistently fresh and tidy.
What’s Included in Regular Cleaning?
- Dusting of furniture, shelves, and surfaces
- Vacuuming and mopping floors
- Wiping down kitchen counters and appliance exteriors
- Cleaning bathrooms (sink, toilet, mirror, shower/tub)
- Emptying trash and replacing liners
- General tidying and straightening up
How Often Should You Schedule Regular Cleaning?
Regular cleaning is ideal for weekly or bi-weekly maintenance. It prevents dirt buildup and keeps your home looking its best. It’s perfect for busy households that want to stay on top of cleaning without the hassle of doing it themselves.
What Is Deep Cleaning?
Deep cleaning goes beyond surface-level tidying and targets dirt, grime, and bacteria in hard-to-reach places. It’s a more detailed and thorough service designed to completely refresh your home.
What’s Included in Deep Cleaning?
- Everything in a regular cleaning, PLUS:
- Detailed dusting of baseboards, vents, and light fixtures
- Deep scrubbing of kitchen appliances (inside the oven, microwave, and fridge)
- Washing cabinets and drawers (inside and out)
- Scrubbing grout and removing buildup in bathrooms
- Cleaning under and behind furniture
- Spot-cleaning walls and doors
- Cleaning blinds, window sills, and ceiling fans
When Should You Schedule a Deep Cleaning?
Deep cleaning is recommended:
✔ Every 3 to 6 months for a fresh start and to maintain a hygienic home
✔ Before or after hosting guests to ensure a spotless space
✔ When moving in or out to leave or enter a home in top condition
✔ After a renovation or construction project to remove dust and debris
✔ If it’s been a while since your last professional cleaning
Which Cleaning Service Is Right for You?
Regular cleaning is the best option for routine upkeep. However, deep cleaning is best if your home needs refreshments or has built-up dust and grime. Many homeowners opt for deep cleaning a few times a year while maintaining their homes with regular cleanings in between.
