Regular Cleaning vs Deep Cleaning

What's the difference?

Regular Cleaning Explained

When you hire house cleaners for “regular cleaning” this is going to include the things you would do on a weekly / fortnightly basis.

A regular clean is designed to help maintain a certain level of cleanliness around your house.

When you invest in a regular clean the home cleaner will do some of the following things:

• Hoover and mopping all floors.

• Dusting reachable surfaces and all skirting.

• Cleaning the bathrooms – toilet, bath, mirror, sink, etc.

• Cleaning the kitchen – wiping surfaces, outside of appliances, emptying bin, wiping cupboard doors, sockets and switches etc.

• Stripping and making beds (at extra cost).

• Clean any smears from windows and glass doors.

Deep Cleaning Explained

Now that you know what regular cleaning entails, it’s time to discuss a deep clean. Deep cleaning is something you are likely going to need to invest in when you first hire a cleaning service. While deep cleaning is more expensive than regular cleaning, a deep cleaning service will remove the deep dirt and grime in your home. It will cover the areas that aren’t typically covered in a regular cleaning service.

​

Some of the services provided when you hire a home cleaning service for a deep clean include:

​

• Remove scale and soap scum from shower heads, taps, kitchen tiles, bathroom tiles, etc.

• Clean behind appliances such as the microwave, toaster and cut through the grime that often builds up within the kitchen.

• Complete dusting including the baseboards and doors in all rooms.

• Floors all hoovered & washed (furniture moved where possible).

• Washing the home’s interior windows

• Cleaning patio doors and window frames

• Cleaning the Hob and Cooker top (Inside Oven charged extra).

• Washing machine cleaned inside drawer and drum.

• Tumble dryer filters changed.

• Radiators wiped.

• Bins cleaned & emptied.

• Top of kitchen units.

• Grout cleaning.

• Fridge / freezer (extra-charge).

​

As you can see, a deep clean is much more thorough than a regular cleaning service. This is the main reason that you pay more when you hire the professionals. It also takes longer to complete (No time frame for this).
