How often a house needs a deep clean depends on the cleaning it gets in between. For the New Jersey homes we look after, a deep clean suits three moments: as a first visit before a regular schedule, in spring and fall, and before the holidays. A home with regular visits needs one far less often than a home without.
What a deep clean does that a regular visit does not
A deep clean covers the buildup a regular visit is not booked to remove. On a regular visit the team dusts the baseboards. On a deep clean the team wipes and washes the baseboards, the doors and the door frames. The same step up happens in every room:
- Kitchen: the range hood scrubbed, with grease and buildup removed from the surfaces we can reach
- Bathrooms: hard water buildup, tiles and grout
- Every room: windowsills, window tracks and blinds
- Floors: vacuumed and mopped under furniture that can be moved
As the first visit
Start with a deep clean if your home has gone a while without a professional clean. It resets the home, and regular cleaning keeps it there. Most of our clients choose a visit every two weeks. Weekly and monthly visits are available too.
In spring, in fall and before the holidays
These are the times of year a deep clean suits a home best. If your home has no regular schedule, they are a simple calendar to follow: once when the windows open, once when the house closes up for the cold, and once before guests arrive.
Signs your home is due
Look at the places only a deep clean reaches. If you see any of these, it is time:
- Grease on the range hood or the backsplash
- Hard water marks around the faucets and in the shower
- Dust on the blinds and in the window tracks
- Marks on the baseboards, the doors and the door frames
Homes with pets
With pets in the house, fur and odors come back fast. We are pet friendly and clean up after your animals at every visit, so tell us about them when you ask for your quote.
What it costs
A deep clean is priced by the estimated time, based on the size and condition of your home. You get the estimate before we start, and the team checks with you before going over it.
