What's the Difference Between Cleaning & Deep Cleaning?

Do you regularly clean your home? The tasks you are doing probably qualify as routine or regular cleaning. For most people, this is enough to keep their homes clean. However, there are times when your home may need a deeper cleaning. When you hire a MaidPro cleaner, you can talk to them about the level of cleaning included in each of these types of cleaning services. The primary difference between regular and deep cleaning is the attention to detail.

What's Included in Regular Cleaning?

As the name suggests, regular cleaning includes the tasks to maintain your home. These are the cleaning efforts you typically do on a daily or weekly basis. Cleaning efforts focus on the most used areas of the home or the surfaces that get the dirtiest fastest.

  • Tidying up
  • Changing the linens
  • Mopping and vacuuming
  • Dusting
  • Cleaning and disinfecting surfaces

What's Included in Deep Cleaning?

A deep cleaning will include everything that happens during a routine cleaning and then take it a step further. For example, instead of doing a quick sweep of your home, you must spend more time getting to the harder-to-reach areas of your home.

  • Wipe down baseboards
  • Clean window frames and sills
  • Vacuum large furniture
  • Scrub bathroom tile grout
  • Clean inside kitchen appliances

When Do You Need a Deep Cleaning?

You do not need to do a deep cleaning of your home every week or month. Because this level of cleaning is more in-depth and intensive, it only needs to be done a few times throughout the year or before a specific event.

  • Spring/fall cleaning
  • Hosting an event
  • Moving
  • Selling

If you have one of these situations on the horizon, then a deep cleaning will adequately prepare your home. Spring and fall cleaning is the perfect time for deep cleaning of your home because it coincides with the changing of the seasons. Furthermore, deep cleaning before an event is important because you are about to have guests in your home. You want them to feel comfortable in your clean home. In addition, your home will get messy and dirty during the event, so a deep clean beforehand will make the after-event clean-up easier.

Finally, deep cleaning is a must if you plan to sell your home or move out of a rental. This prepares the home and gets it ready for a buyer or landlord inspection. A deep clean of your rental will help ensure you get your security deposit back.
