Regular Cleaning vs. Deep Cleaning: What's the Difference?

Regular Cleaning; Deep Cleaning
At Clever Clean, we offer both regular cleaning and deep cleaning services to make sure your house stays fresh, whether you need weekly cleaning or a more thorough deep clean. Here’s what you need to know.

What is Regular Cleaning?

Regular cleaning covers your routine tasks, like daily or weekly cleaning, to keep your home neat. It's great for maintaining a tidy space.
Common Regular Cleaning Tasks:
  • Dusting furniture and light fixtures
  • Sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping floors
  • Cleaning bathrooms (toilets, sinks, mirrors)
  • Wiping down kitchen surfaces and appliances
  • Taking out the trash
  • Tidying up rooms and making beds
This type of cleaning helps keep your home looking clean but doesn’t reach the deep dirt that builds up over time.

What is Deep Cleaning?

Deep cleaning goes beyond regular cleaning. It’s all about getting into the areas you might not clean weekly—like behind appliances or inside cabinets.
Common Deep Cleaning Tasks:
  • Scrubbing grout and tiles
  • Cleaning under and behind appliances (like the fridge or stove)
  • Washing baseboards, doors, and window sills
  • Cleaning the inside of the oven and fridge
  • Dusting high areas like ceiling fans and vents
  • Washing windows and blinds
  • Removing mold or mildew in bathrooms

Key Differences Between Regular and Deep Cleaning

  • Scope: Regular cleaning focuses on the surfaces you see daily, while deep cleaning targets hidden and hard-to-reach areas.
  • Frequency: Regular cleaning happens weekly or bi-weekly, but deep cleaning is done a few times a year.
  • Effort: Regular cleaning is quicker, while deep cleaning requires more effort and time.
  • Cost: Deep cleaning is more thorough, so it typically costs more than regular house cleaning services.

When Should You Get a Deep Cleaning?

  • After moving in or out of a house
  • After a big event or party
  • For seasonal cleaning (spring or fall)
  • When regular cleaning just isn’t enough
  • Before starting regular cleaning services: It’s a good idea to do a deep clean first to prepare your home for ongoing maintenance.
