A standard cleaning (often called maintenance or regular cleaning) is a regular, recurring cleaning service designed to maintain tidiness and order in a home. It’s a basic surface-level cleaning for a home that has already been thoroughly cleaned within 30 days that includes vacuuming, dusting, mopping, and wiping down all reachable surfaces. It keeps dirt from building up.
A deep cleaning for a home simply put is a detailed top-to-bottom cleaning that cleans extra build up of grime, dust and dirt, pet hair beyond the surface-level maintenance of a standard clean. It includes tasks like scrubbing grout, wiping baseboards, interior appliance cleaning, and cleaning higher to reach areas and is usually performed once or twice a year.
Moving can be stressful, time consuming, and a whole lot of work. To top it off, you often have to clean your old home before leaving, or your new home before moving in.
