What is a deep clean service?

A deep clean service is an extensive and meticulous cleaning process that aims to tackle the accumulated dirt, grime, and allergens that regular cleaning might miss. Unlike routine cleaning, which typically involves surface-level tasks such as sweeping, mopping, and dusting, deep cleaning focuses on the hard-to-reach and often-neglected areas in a space. For example, in a residential setting, a deep clean service would entail thoroughly cleaning the floors, not just with sweeping and mopping but with scrubbing to remove embedded dirt and stains. Additionally, carpets and upholstery are subjected to steam cleaning or shampooing to eradicate odours, stains, and allergens that have settled over time. Another critical aspect of deep cleaning involves appliances. This includes not only cleaning the appliances themselves but also the spaces behind and under them, where dust and debris tend to accumulate. In bathrooms, deep cleaning goes beyond basic sanitization; tiles are scrubbed, grout is cleaned, and showerheads and faucets are descaled. The service also encompasses thorough cleaning of cabinets, drawers, and closets, including their interiors and exteriors. Deep cleaning can also be customized to include specific tasks like cleaning windows, baseboards, walls, and light fixtures. In essence, a deep clean service is designed to restore space to a near-new condition by focusing on minute details, utilizing specialized equipment and cleaning products, and dedicating a significant amount of time to ensure that no nook or cranny is overlooked.

The frequency of deep cleaning depends on various factors such as the size of the space, the number of occupants, the presence of pets, and the general level of activity. Here’s a general guideline on how often deep cleaning should be done:

  1. Homes: For most homes, it’s advisable to schedule a deep cleaning service about two to four times a year, or once every season. However, if you have a larger family, pets, or allergies among family members, you might want to consider doing it more frequently.
  2. Offices and Commercial Spaces: In commercial environments, the traffic is usually higher, and as such, a deep cleaning may need to be done more often. Monthly or quarterly deep cleaning is common, but it’s important to also consider the nature of the business. For instance, medical facilities require a more frequent deep cleaning due to health and safety considerations.
  3. Kitchens and Bathrooms: In both homes and commercial spaces, kitchens and bathrooms are high-traffic areas that are more prone to germs and grime. These areas might need deep cleaning every month or bi-monthly.
  4. Carpets and Upholstery: Carpets and upholstered furniture should ideally be deep cleaned at least once a year to remove accumulated dirt, allergens, and stains. However, in homes with pets or children, or in high-traffic commercial areas, this might need to be done more frequently.
  5. Seasonal Considerations: Sometimes, the season can determine the frequency of deep cleaning. For example, in regions with harsh winters, a deep clean might be essential during spring to clear out the accumulated dust and dirt.

Ultimately, the frequency of deep cleaning should be based on individual needs and preferences. Regular maintenance and cleaning can also help in reducing the frequency of deep cleaning without compromising the cleanliness and hygiene of the space.
