Regular Clean or Deep Clean: Which Do You Need?

Both keep a home clean, but they do different jobs. A regular clean maintains, and a deep clean resets.

A regular clean is for

  • Homes that are already in good shape
  • Keeping kitchens, bathrooms and floors fresh week to week
  • Households that want a fixed day and the same cleaner each time

A deep clean is for

  • A home that has not been cleaned thoroughly for a while
  • A fresh start before moving in, or before starting a regular clean
  • Appliances, grout, windows, frames and the places a regular clean skips
  • Preparing a home for a sale or a letting

A good combination

Many households book a deep clean first, and then a weekly or fortnightly regular clean. The deep clean does the heavy lifting once, and the regular clean keeps it that way.
