What Does A Deep Clean Include? (Comparison And Checklists!)
We all have those moments when a fresh start feels essential. Whether you�ve just had a busy season, the start of a new chapter, or just crave a clean slate, a deep clean can feel just what the doctor ordered.
But what does a deep clean involve? It�s more than just tidying up. Let�s dive into the details and discover how a thorough cleaning can transform your space into a true sanctuary!
Regular Cleaning vs. Deep Cleaning
To start, let�s differentiate between regular cleaning and deep cleaning. Regular cleaning includes routine tasks like dusting, vacuuming, wiping surfaces, and more�basically, keeping your home clean and tidy on a day-to-day basis.
Deep cleaning, on the other hand, involves a more thorough approach, targeting those hidden, often-overlooked areas where dirt and grime accumulate.

How often should a house have a deep clean?
We recommend a deep clean two or three times a year, depending on your household. Once you catch up to your home's needs by eliminating built-up dust, dirt, and allergens, you may go on with regular cleanings in between.
