✨ Let’s Talk About “Deep Cleans” ✨
Lately, I’ve been seeing more and more advertisements offering “full deep cleans” for $200… and I feel it’s important to educate clients on what a true deep clean actually involves.
A professional deep clean is not a quick surface wipe-down. It is a detailed, time-intensive service that focuses on areas often overlooked during routine cleanings. When done properly, it takes hours of hands-on, meticulous work and the cost should reflect that level of care and effort.
If the price seems too good to be true, it usually is… and unfortunately, that often means corners are being cut.
💡 So what SHOULD be included in a true deep clean?
✔️ Hand-wiping baseboards, doors, and door frames
✔️ Detailed cleaning of light switches, outlets, and fixtures
✔️ Thorough dusting (including vents, blinds, and hard-to-reach areas)
✔️ Cabinet fronts (and sometimes interiors upon request)
✔️ Deep bathroom sanitation (grout lines, soap scum removal, full shower/tub detail)
✔️ Kitchen detailing (backsplash, appliances exterior, stovetop, grease removal)
✔️ Interior window cleaning (accessible areas)
✔️ Detailed floor cleaning, including edges and corners
✔️ Removal of buildup, not just surface-level cleaning
A proper deep clean is about restoring your home, getting into the details, the buildup, and the areas that truly make a difference in how your space looks, feels, and functions.
At the end of the day, you deserve more than a rushed job labeled as “deep.” You deserve a service that delivers real results, real cleanliness, and real peace of mind.
I didn’t write this post to shame anyone or make anyone feel bad, but to educate potential clients and people new to the industry. Also, I am aware that there are special circumstances where companies complete true deep cleans for much less than usual due to hardships, ect…
To all of my professional cleaners, know your worth and don’t let anyone pressure you into lowering your prices, there is a perfect client for every cleaner and vise versa!!
