What is the difference between regular cleaning and deep cleaning a house?

If you’re about to embark on using the services of a cleaning company for your home, you may get easily confused by all the choices and types of cleaning they have to offer. There’s cleaning that needs to take place at the end of a lease agreement when moving out of a property, there’s spring or deep cleaning and there’s regular cleaning, too. But what are the main differences between regular and deep cleaning? Let’s take a closer look.

The difference between regular and deep cleaning for every room

In terms of rooms in your home, deep house cleaning services and regular services will differ in several respects. We look at some of the most common rooms in more detail below.

  • Kitchen: the kitchen is a place that gets a lot of foot traffic and it’s often characterised by the presence of food and the cooking of food. With cooking come dishes to be cleaned and surfaces to be wiped. A regular house cleaning service will do this for you including sweeping and vacuuming floors, mopping and even watering your plants (if you have any). On the other hand, residential deep cleaning services will clean skirting boards and hard to reach nooks and crannies such as lampshades and ceiling fan blades, clean up cobwebs in the corners, and so much more.
  • Living room: a regular house cleaning service will also address your living room. The cleaners will polish furniture, wipe down all surfaces, gather dust and vacuum your carpets. However, professional deep cleaning services will go into much more detail. Essentially, they will address all of the above and more including window sills, baseboards and even vacuum furniture (where food can easily get stuck and be the cause of an ant infestation or something far worse further down the road).
  • Bedrooms: taking care of bedrooms requires making the beds, polishing furniture and vacuuming or mopping the floors. With a deep housekeeping service, you’ll get this and more. The cleaners will pay attention to baseboards, headboards, nightstands, windowsills, dressing tables and mirrors and more.
  • Bathrooms: a regular bathroom clean will usually involve cleaning the floors, surfaces, sinks and mirrors. However, a deep cleaning service will also look at vents, clean the actual door to the bathroom, deal with limescale and water stains on shower doors and trays, deep clean toilet seats, bowls and handles and so much more.

The costs involved in the service

The cost of either of the two services will also be a consideration you need to take into account. Whereas regular cleaning tends to be more affordable, deep house cleaning tends to be a bit more expensive. The reason for this is the amount of details the cleaners go into and the amount of time it takes to clean the entire home.

Frequency of cleaning

Regular cleaning usually takes place on a daily, weekly or bi-weekly basis, whereas deep house cleaning can be done anywhere from every six months to a year.

The benefits that both services offer

Each of the services mentioned above have their benefits. For starters, with regular cleaning, you’ll ensure that your home is kept in good condition with comfortable living conditions for all the members of your family. This means regularly dealing with bacteria and allergens and even preventing the build up of limescale and mould. 

Deep house cleaning, although it takes place less frequently, is considered something of a spring clean. It goes into a lot of depth, addressing places and items that are usually overlooked during a regular cleaning service. Because of this deep clean, your home will stay well-maintained for longer periods of time and such cleaning is not required too frequently although it is certainly advisable to have it done at least once or twice a year.
