What is a Deep Cleaning

In comparison to a routine clean, a deep clean is more thorough and in-depth. It means removing all types of filth and grime that have built up over a long time on the house’s deepest surfaces or corners. It includes more areas than a simple cleaning, such as thoroughly cleaning stovetops and tubs, cleaning inside microwaves and ovens, vigorously brushing floors and bathtubs, etc.

When to Get a Deep Cleaning:

A deep clean is not always necessary. You normally only use it sometimes and for a specific reason. When moving into a new property, for instance, you can plan a deep cleaning. This will allow you to start over in your new house without being concerned about the muck and grime left over from the previous occupants.

When you leave your old house, that is a further occasion when you might require a deep clean. The new owners will then have a fresh start.

Some people deep clean their homes before hiring a cleaning service. This implies that when you begin using the service, your entire home will be clean. 

Additional Deep House Cleaning Checklist:

For any areas not covered in the above rooms, these are areas that you should ensure are cleaned during your deep house cleaning process.

• carpet cleaning with specialist machine to remove stains
• unclog drains and pipes if needed

• porch cleaning from top to bottom
• sanitise any other internal bins, and external dustbins.
• descaling all chrome and fitting to remove limescale
• dishwasher cleaning
• pot and pan washing and drying
• declutter
• clean tile grout to remove mould

It is worth mentioning that each cleaning service company can include its own package or its own checklist for a deep cleaning, we recommend asking the company that you hire if they already have their own checklist or what their service includes.

Don’t let your house be a mess then be stressed!

When was the last time you cleaned your home? If your response is from several weeks to months ago, you should think about having your home thoroughly cleaned. Deep cleaning takes care of all the areas that are typically more difficult to maintain. It takes care of all the crud that has accumulated over time on surfaces, walls, and floors. 

Besides, at least every three months, spend a day deep cleaning your short-term rental. Clean the baseboards, dust the light fixtures, and wash the walls. Don’t forget to make any repairs that are needed.
