About Deep Cleaning
Deep cleaning is a comprehensive, intensive cleaning service that goes far beyond regular maintenance cleaning to address every surface, fixture, and hidden area in your property. This service targets built-up dirt, grime, and bacteria in places that regular cleaning misses or simply doesn't have time to address properly. Professional deep cleaners methodically work through each room, cleaning inside appliances, behind furniture, on top of cupboards, inside light fixtures, and all the overlooked spaces where dirt accumulates. Deep cleaning is ideal for spring cleaning, pre-move preparation, post-renovation cleanup, or simply resetting a property that's been neglected. The service typically includes descaling bathrooms, degreasing kitchens, baseboard and door frame cleaning, and thorough dusting of all surfaces. Many people book deep cleaning once or twice a year alongside regular maintenance cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about deep cleaning
What's the difference between deep cleaning and regular cleaning?
Regular cleaning maintains cleanliness with surface-level tasks. Deep cleaning addresses everything including inside appliances, behind furniture, and neglected areas.
How often should I book deep cleaning?
Most homes benefit from deep cleaning twice yearly (spring and autumn), supplemented by regular maintenance cleaning.
Do I need to be present?
Not necessarily, but initial deep clean is often better with you present to discuss specific priorities and access to all areas.
Can deep cleaning be done in occupied properties?
Yes, though it's easier in empty or cleared properties. Cleaners work around furniture and belongings in occupied homes.
What's not included in deep cleaning?
Usually excludes exterior windows, carpets (unless specified), and specialized tasks like oven cleaning (often available as add-ons).
