What’s included

What We Clean in a Deep Clean That a Regular Visit Skips

A deep clean includes everything in a recurring visit, then adds the five hand-detailed tasks below.

Two cleaners wiping hallway baseboards while a third sweeps the floor

Wiping Baseboards

During a deep clean, our team hand-wipes the baseboards throughout your home instead of simply dusting them. Routine visits include dusting baseboards, which clears loose lint but leaves behind the stubborn grey film, pet hair, and shoe scuffs that settle along the floor line over time. Once every trim board is wiped clean, the edges of your rooms look crisp and brighten the entire floor.

One maid with tied-back hair is wiping the counter with a mint green cloth, while another maid with short hair is mopping the kitchen floor. The apartment has modern cabinets, stainless appliances, bar stools, and a large window with daylight.

Cleaning Cabinet Fronts

We wipe down kitchen and bathroom cabinet fronts, drawer fronts, and handles to remove everyday buildup. Because regular visits focus on countertops, sinks, and stovetops, vertical cabinet surfaces gradually collect a tacky layer of cooking grease, steam residue, and daily fingerprints around the hardware. Afterward, your cabinetry feels smooth to the touch and looks clean and uniform when light hits your kitchen and bathrooms.

Cleaning Windowsills

Our cleaners wipe down windowsills and ledges across every room to clear out gritty buildup. While a recurring visit includes dusting blinds within reach, the flat sills tucked behind those blinds trap outdoor pollen, dust, and condensation marks that a duster alone cannot lift. After a thorough wiping, you will notice clean ledges whenever you open your blinds to let in natural light.

Removing Fingerprints From Doorframes and Switch Plates

We carefully wipe doorframes and light switch plates in every room to erase smudges and handprints. Routine housekeeping concentrates on furniture, fixtures, and floors, leaving these hand-height spots to accumulate oils and marks that people eventually stop seeing in their own home. Once those smudges are gone, hallways and entryways immediately look fresher, and the painted trim and switches throughout your house look clean again.

Vacuuming Upholstered Furniture

We vacuum sofas, chairs, and the spaces under cushions to pull out trapped debris. Standard recurring visits focus on hard furniture surfaces and floors, so everyday crumbs, pet hair, and household dust gradually work their way into fabric seams and beneath seat cushions. After a thorough vacuuming, your living room and bedroom seating looks neat, feels more comfortable, and stays free of hidden grit.

Add-on

Most of our clients start with a thorough clean before regular visits begin, then move to weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly recurring cleaning visits to keep their space refreshed without the hassle of doing it themselves. The 20% new-customer offer applies to the first recurring cleaning, not to deep cleans.

A vacant home before moving in or after moving out requires a different approach, which we handle as its own dedicated move-in and move-out cleaning service. We also understand that plans change quickly, which is why we can accommodate short-notice requests through our same-day cleaning options when our schedule permits.

FAQ

Deep Cleaning Questions

A regular visit covers all the standard upkeep like dusting, vacuuming, and mopping to maintain your home. A deep clean includes all of those base tasks and adds the five hand-detailed tasks covered in the section above.

Yes, you can absolutely schedule a single visit for a thorough clean of your home. Many clients book us just once for a spring or fall deep clean, before a major event, or after a home project when our team can help clear post-renovation dust. There is never any obligation to sign up for an ongoing schedule.

Cleaning inside the oven and cleaning inside the refrigerator are optional add-ons. You can easily add either or both of these interior appliance tasks to a deep clean or any recurring visit to customize your service.

While it is not required, most clients start with one so their home is thoroughly clean before regular visits begin. That starting point makes it much easier for our team to maintain the same standard during your ongoing weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly visits.
