It is the most common question we get when someone books for the first time. The short answer: if it has been more than a month or two since a real top-to-bottom clean, start with a deep clean.

What a standard clean covers

A standard clean is the routine reset: kitchen counters and surfaces, bathrooms, dusting, floors vacuumed and mopped, trash out. It keeps a home that is already in good shape looking that way.

What a deep clean adds

When to book a deep clean

The smart way to do it

Start with one deep clean to get everything caught up, then switch to weekly or every-other-week standard cleans. The house stays at that level and each visit costs less.
