When considering cleaning services, it’s common to wonder about the right choice. Both standard and deep cleaning contribute to maintaining cleanliness indoors. However, deep cleaning stands out with its meticulous attention to detail. It includes time-consuming tasks often overlooked in daily or weekly chores. Ideally, a deep clean should be done every three months, or during specific situations like spring cleaning or after important events. If you’re new to professional cleaning, an initial deep cleaning is recommended to establish a solid foundation for future maintenance.

What tasks are included in a deep cleaning?
Sometimes it’s hard to draw the line between regular cleaning tasks and those included in deep cleaning. Every home has different needs—that’s why professional cleaning services are highly customizable. Cleaning companies attend to this matter by disclosing cleaning checklists with each service’s specific cleaning tasks. However, we will tell you roughly what a professional deep cleaning should include in your home’s main rooms. Read on!
Living room and bedroom
A typical living room cleaning session always includes vacuuming and a quick general dusting. If you have hard floors, mopping is also part of the cleaning. However, your living room has many knickknacks and furnishings that need special attention. Other cleaning tasks are:
