kris7678

Cleaning your home is essential, but not all cleaning is the same. Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a standard cleaning and a deep cleaning? While both keep your space fresh, deep cleaning tackles the hidden grime that builds up over time.


If you’re unsure whether you need a basic cleaning or it’s time for a deep clean, this guide breaks it all down—including what’s included in each and when to book one.


What is Standard Cleaning?


✅ Best for: Regular maintenance and keeping your home tidy.

✅ How often? Weekly, biweekly, or monthly.


What’s Included in a Standard Cleaning?

    •    Dusting (surfaces, furniture, and shelves)

    •    Wiping down countertops and tables

    •    Sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping floors

    •    Cleaning and disinfecting sinks, faucets, and bathroom surfaces

    •    Emptying trash bins

    •    Light tidying up


Who Needs It?

A standard cleaning is perfect if:

✔ Your home is already in decent shape but needs upkeep.

✔ You want to maintain a fresh, dust-free space.

✔ You don’t have time for regular cleaning but want a consistent schedule.


What is Deep Cleaning?


✅ Best for: Removing built-up grime, allergens, and bacteria.

✅ How often? Every 3-6 months or before special occasions.


What’s Included in a Deep Cleaning?

    •    Everything in a standard cleaning, plus:

    •    Scrubbing baseboards, doors, and trim

    •    Cleaning inside cabinets, drawers, and closets

    •    Deep-cleaning appliances (inside oven, fridge, and microwave)

    •    Washing walls, light switches, and door handles

    •    Heavy-duty bathroom scrubbing (grout, shower doors, hard water stains)

    •    Moving furniture to clean behind and underneath


Who Needs It?

A deep cleaning is ideal if:

✔ It’s been months since your last thorough cleaning.

✔ You’re moving into a new home or preparing for guests.

✔ You notice dust buildup, grime, or stains in hard-to-reach areas.
