What is a Deep Cleaning?
A Deep Cleaning is perfect for our first visit, for our clients who do not stay on a regular maintenance cleaning schedule. A Deep Cleaning is more like a spring cleaning or perhaps a “catch up” cleaning. Before we can begin the regular/maintenance cleaning of your home/office, there are a variety of first time tasks that require extra time and effort.
There is a big difference between “old” dirt and “new” dirt. If we don’t get rid of the old dirt, removing new dirt isn’t going to make your space sparkling clean. It’s not uncommon for us to spend three or four times longer on a first cleaning than it takes us on a regular maintenance cleaning.
Perhaps no one has vacuumed behind or beneath your couch for a while (we move what we can.) Windowsills, stove tops and hoods, baseboards and doors are prime candidates for dust and dirt after long periods of neglect. Kitchen cabinets, countertops and appliances usually require extra attention on our first visit as well.
And if we don’t spend the time and effort to get the shower doors, tracks, stall, walls, bathtub, fixtures and floors thoroughly cleaned, they just won’t look really clean no matter how often we visit.
We make every effort to do the best job possible for you. If you have things picked up and put away we are better able to do the “dirty work.” Getting things up off the floor really helps – often putting clutter in a container (laundry baskets) is the perfect solution. If you just can’t get things organized before we come, no problem, we can either declutter and organize and clean, or clean what we can get to.
