Frequently Asked Questions
What does a deep cleaning include?
A deep cleaning includes everything in a standard clean, then a whole lot more. We scrub grout by hand, wipe down baseboards and trim, dust the vents and fixtures up high, and clean inside the oven and the fridge. We pull out appliances and get the gunk behind them too. Basically, we chase the grime that hides, not just the surfaces staring you in the face.
How often should you deep clean your house?
Every three to six months works for most homes. Got pets, kids, allergies, or a busy front door? Lean toward the shorter end. A tidy one- or two-person place that gets a weekly once-over can stretch things out a good deal longer. Plenty of folks here just book one each spring, after our snowy, sooty winters finally let up.
How long does a deep clean take?
Anywhere from three hours to most of a day, honestly. It comes down to how big the home is and what shape it's in. A one-bedroom apartment? We're usually in and out before lunch. A roomy family house with three or four bathrooms takes real time. Sending a crew keeps it thorough without turning into an all-nighter.
What's the difference between a deep clean and a regular clean?
The regular clean is your week-to-week upkeep: dusting, vacuuming, a wipe of the bathrooms. A deep clean digs into the stuff that gets skipped, like grout, the space behind the stove, the inside of the oven, every last baseboard. One sets the baseline. The other keeps that baseline from slipping.
Should I get a deep clean before starting recurring service?
Yes, and we'd nudge you toward exactly that. A deep clean wipes the slate in one shot, so your home starts from a genuine clean. From there, a lighter recurring maid service holds the line with far less fuss. It's how most of our regulars got started.
Is a professional deep clean worth it?
When the grime has outrun a normal cleaning, yes, it earns its keep. A trained crew moves faster, reaches what you simply can't, and knows how to handle older trim and stubborn hard-water scale without wrecking anything. You hand off a full day of scrubbing and get back a home that's tough to match on your own.
