The primary difference between standard cleaning and deep cleaning lies in the extent and level of effort.

Here are some key distinctions:

1 – Standard Cleaning: Focuses on daily, weekly, or, at most, bi-weekly maintenance cleaning. Monthly maintenance cleaning is only recommended for homes with low foot traffic and no pets.

• Superficial, involving basic tasks like vacuuming, sweeping, dusting, and cleaning visible surfaces.
• Typically takes less time to complete.
• Suitable for the regular upkeep of a relatively clean home.

2 – Deep Cleaning: Conducted at less frequent intervals.

• Can be more time-consuming and require more effort.
• Necessary for eliminating accumulated dirt and dust.

In summary, standard cleaning is for maintaining regular household hygiene and preventing build-ups, while deep cleaning is for tackling the accumulated dirt. The choice between them depends on your home’s needs and your cleaning schedule.

You might also require a deep clean. A deep clean is usually booked when a home has gone without regular cleaning for some time, necessitating cleaning from top to bottom, including less visible areas. Attention to detail is crucial, addressing items such as cobwebs, internal windows, air vents, light fixtures, baseboards, fans, and more. This brings the home up to par for regular maintenance cleaning.
