Deep clean vs regular clean: what is the difference?
What each type of clean covers, how long it takes, and when to book one over the other.
Two jobs, two goals
A regular clean maintains a home that is already in good shape. A deep clean resets one that has fallen behind, reaching the places a regular visit skips.
| Area | Regular clean | Deep clean |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen | Counters, sink, appliance fronts | Plus cabinet fronts, range hood, backsplash grout |
| Bathrooms | Toilet, shower, sink, mirror | Plus grout, descaling, vents |
| Throughout | Dusting, floors, tidying | Plus baseboards, door frames, sills, under furniture |
| Best for | Weekly or every two weeks | First visit, seasonal reset, before guests |
When to book a deep clean
Book a deep clean before starting a regular plan, after a busy season, or before hosting. After that, regular visits keep things from building up again.
