Deep House Cleaning and Everything You Need to Know About It

What Is Deep Cleaning?

You may be looking around your house and thinking to yourself “this place could use a deep cleaning.” But do you know the difference between deep cleaning a house and regular cleaning, or are you just saying the word “deep” because you’ve heard it before and it sounds like someone would do an “extra good job”? Well, when it comes to professional cleaning, “deep cleaning” actually is pretty well-defined.

While regular cleaning involves the things you’d normally be doing on a weekly basis - like vacuuming or mopping floors, tidying up the house, cleaning the bathrooms, wiping down surfaces, cleaning up the kitchen, taking out the trash, and other somewhat “normal” cleaning tasks - deep cleaning takes things quite a bit further.

So what does deep cleaning a house entail? Deep cleaning is truly where professional cleaners can excel. While more expensive than a regular clean, you’ll see some massive results.

Basically, anything you wouldn’t be doing regularly and may have some built-up grime falls under the category of a deep clean. These are the more time-consuming tasks that really can transform a house from looking a bit dingy to looking like a nearly brand-new home.

How Long Does a Deep Cleaning Take?

The time it takes to really perform deep cleaning services for a home depends on how many details are involved, and how many rooms you have in your home. However, on average, you can expect about 30 to 45 minutes per room.

You could certainly expect longer than that if you can’t even remember the last time you descaled your faucets or cleaned behind your appliances. That could involve some nasty work!

Before you discuss service with a professional cleaning team, it’s important to be very specific about the deep cleaning tasks you’ll want them to perform and get an estimate of the time frame. Otherwise, you could be in for quite the surprise!
