Regular cleaning keeps a space tidy. A deep clean goes further, reaching the areas that routine visits do not — behind appliances, high-level surfaces, built-up limescale and grime in corners. It is a reset that makes ongoing cleaning easier to maintain.
Deep clean vs regular clean
A regular clean focuses on visible surfaces: wiping, vacuuming, mopping and emptying bins. A deep clean covers the same areas in far more detail and adds tasks that are only needed occasionally.
What a deep clean typically includes
- Kitchens: degreasing surfaces, cupboard fronts, tiles, extractor hoods and the outside of appliances
- Bathrooms and washrooms: descaling taps, showers, tiles and grout, and detailed sanitising
- High and low dusting: light fittings, vents, skirting boards, door frames and sills
- Floors: detailed cleaning of edges and corners, and under movable furniture
- Touch points: switches, handles, sockets and banisters
- Internal glass, mirrors and window frames
When to book a deep clean
- Moving into or out of a property
- Before starting a new regular cleaning arrangement
- After refurbishment or a long period of closure
- Seasonally, such as in spring or before busy trading periods
