Deep Cleaning Checklist
Ideal for first-time clients, seasonal resets, or homes that haven't had a professional clean in a while. We go well beyond the surface.
A deep clean is our most thorough one-time service. It covers everything in our standard clean, plus all the areas that collect buildup over weeks and months — baseboards, inside appliances, grout lines, window tracks, ceiling fans, and more. Many clients start with a deep clean and then switch to a recurring standard clean to maintain the results.

Pro tip: Start with a deep clean
If you're switching to a recurring service, starting with a deep clean gives us a strong baseline to maintain going forward. Many clients find that the standard clean is all they need once the home has been properly reset.
Common questions
How long does a deep clean take?
It depends on the size of the home and how long since the last professional clean. A 2-bedroom home typically takes 3 to 5 hours. We'll give you a time estimate when you book.
What's the difference between a deep clean and a standard clean?
A standard clean covers the main surfaces every visit. A deep clean goes further — baseboards, inside the oven and microwave, grout lines, window tracks, and ceiling fan housings. Think of it as a full reset versus regular maintenance.
Is a deep clean required before starting recurring service?
We recommend it, but don't require it. If your home is already in good shape, we can assess during the first visit and adjust the scope accordingly.
Do you bring your own supplies?
Yes. We bring all cleaning products, microfiber cloths, and equipment. All products are eco-friendly and safe for kids and pets.
