If you’re trying to decide between a standard cleaning and a deep cleaning service, you’re not alone. Many homeowners aren’t quite sure what sets these services apart, or which one is right for their home. At Fussy Cleaning, we know that choosing the right type of clean is just as important as choosing the right company. And when you choose correctly, the result is more than just a tidy space—it’s a feeling of calm, clarity, and comfort in your home.
A standard house cleaning is your routine clean. It’s designed to keep your home looking presentable and feeling fresh on a regular basis. Most of our clients schedule standard cleanings on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis depending on their needs and lifestyle.
Dusting and wiping down surfaces
Cleaning bathrooms (toilet, sink, mirror, and tub)
Vacuuming carpets and rugs
Sweeping and mopping floors
Light tidying and organization
Cleaning the kitchen surfaces, sink, and outside of appliances
Standard cleaning is perfect for homes that are already fairly well-maintained. It’s the service that helps you stay on top of your space so things never feel out of control.
A deep cleaning goes further than the basics. It’s more detailed, more thorough, and ideal for homes that need extra attention—like after a busy season, before a big event, or when it’s been a while since your last professional clean.
Scrubbing baseboards and trim
Cleaning inside the oven and fridge (by request)
Washing windows and frames (interior only)
Dusting ceiling fans, vents, and blinds
Cleaning tile grout and harder-to-reach areas
Wiping inside cabinets and drawers
Moving small furniture to clean behind and beneath
Deep cleaning services are also a popular choice for first-time Fussy clients. It sets a strong foundation for future standard cleans and gives your home that “like-new” feeling you’ve been craving.
Here are a few signs your home might be ready for a deep clean:
You haven’t had a professional cleaning in several months (or ever)
You’re preparing for or recovering from guests or an event
You notice stubborn buildup in kitchens or bathrooms
Your space feels dusty or cluttered even after you tidy
If your home is regularly cleaned or well-kept, a standard cleaning may be all you need. But if you want that top-to-bottom clean that makes the whole house feel lighter and more welcoming, a deep clean might be the better fit.
At Fussy Cleaning, we’re happy to recommend the right service based on your home and goals. And if you’re not sure? We’ll talk it through with you. It’s part of our job to help you feel confident and cared for.
The difference between standard and deep cleaning is more than just a checklist. It’s about how your home feels afterward—and how you feel in it. A light, regular clean might keep things manageable, but a deep clean can completely reset your space. Many of our clients say they feel more focused, relaxed, and proud of their home after a thorough clean. That feeling of walking into a space that truly sparkles? That’s what we’re here for.
Whether you’re looking for a consistent helping hand or a one-time refresh, we’re here to help you love where you live. Our team is trained, insured, and local to Edmonton. We care about your home because we care about our community.
Still not sure which service your home needs? Let’s talk about it. Request a quote or give us a call, and we’ll help you get the clean that feels just right.
