One of the most common questions we get: “Do I need a standard clean or a deep clean?” The answer depends on your home’s current state and how long it’s been since a thorough cleaning.
Standard Cleaning: Maintenance Mode
A standard clean is designed for homes that are already at a reasonable baseline. It covers the essentials: kitchens, bathrooms, floors, dusting surfaces, vacuuming, and mopping. Think of it as keeping a clean home clean.
Best for: Homes cleaned within the past 2–4 weeks. Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly recurring visits.
Deep Cleaning: The Reset
A deep clean covers everything in a standard clean, plus the details that accumulate over time: baseboards, blinds, inside the microwave, doors and trim, ceiling fans, light fixtures, and vent covers.
Best for: First-time cleans, homes not cleaned in over a month, seasonal resets, or pre-event preparation.
How to Decide
Run your finger along a baseboard or the top of a door frame. If there’s visible dust or grime, you need a deep clean. If surfaces look mostly fine but floors and bathrooms need attention, a standard clean will do.
The Smart Approach
Start with a deep clean to establish a baseline, then maintain with standard cleanings every one to two weeks. This is the most cost-effective approach and keeps your home consistently fresh.
