Deep Cleaning Service

Deep Cleaning Service

Overview

Deep cleaning service is a type of house cleaning service that your housekeeper performs to tackle all the jobs that are not completed during regular cleaning service on a less frequent basis.

Just like your regular housekeeping service, deep cleaning service involves vacuuming, dusting, sweeping, and mopping floors, taking out the trash, wiping down surfaces like sinks and countertops with disinfectant wipes or spray cleaners, washing windows, removing cobwebs, and more.

But unlike your regular cleaning service, deep cleaning service is far more intensive.

In the kitchen during regular cleaning service, your housekeeper will clean the outside of your oven, microwave, and other appliances but with deep cleaning service, they will likely do the insides as well. Similarly, your housekeeper will wash the outside of kitchen cabinets during their regular cleaning service but may clean the insides as well with deep cleaning service.

In the bathrooms, deep cleaning service will involve deep scrubbing of the sink, toilet, shower, and tile with a pumice stone as well as wiping down cupboards.

In the living room or bedrooms, your housekeeper will vacuum carpets in those rooms but may also do furniture polishing (e.g., armchairs), dusting-off shelves, ceiling fans, and other high areas.

Among the other items that are sometimes included in a deep cleaning are:

  • Washing windows inside and out
  • Vacuuming curtains, drapes, and blinds
  • Vacuuming door and window tracks
  • Shampooing carpets, rugs, drapes
  • Cleaning fixtures
  • Cleaning ceiling fans
  • Polishing door and window frames
  • Maintaining the exterior of your home with pressure washing or power washing 
  • Cleaning and disinfecting all hard-surface floors
  • Cleaning vent covers
  • Polishing faucets
  • Scrubbing and sanitizing garbage cans
  • Vacuuming under couch and chair cushions, in their creases, and underneath
  • Cabinets and drawers
  • Oven and stovetop
  • Refrigerator and freezer
  • Dishwasher
  • Tiles and grout
  • Shower curtains

In a nutshell, deep cleaning is the perfect way to have your housekeeper attack all surfaces.

First Class customizes your deep cleaning plan according to your preferences. Some customers like to have their whole home deep cleaned several times a year while others also like more frequent deep cleanings of their bathrooms, their kitchen, or other specific areas.

There are a lot of different options and we discuss them with you during your initial consultation where you will choose the specific services that you want with each deep cleaning and the frequency of your deep cleaning service.

Deep Cleaning Service

Recommended Frequency

Deep cleaning service is one of the best ways to keep your home looking great. If you want to get rid of the dirt and grime that builds up in your house, then deep cleaning is a must.

Your First Class housekeeper performs regular cleaning services during each visit, but we recommend getting deep cleaning service every 3 months at the very least. Many people have us deep clean their home more often than that, sometimes as often as every two weeks, while others choose to have us deep clean their kitchen and bathrooms frequently while scheduling whole-home deep cleaning service less frequently.

Among the things that you should consider when trying to decide the frequency of your deep cleaning is how many people you have in your home if you have a pet, if you wear your outdoor shoes around the house and if you frequently leave your windows open. In New York City, if you leave your windows open frequently, you will want to schedule frequent deep cleaning service.

The frequency of your deep cleaning will depend on the specifics you choose during our initial consultation when we meet to talk about how often you want it to happen and the specific things you would like us to focus on each time. Contact us today to arrange for your no-obligation consultation.

Deep Cleaning Service

Frequently Asked Questions

These are the most frequently asked questions about our Deep Cleaning Service:

How do deep cleaning and regular cleaning differ?

Regular housekeeping, or a standard cleaning, is about keeping your home clean on a day-to-day basis by doing smaller things like taking out the trash or cleaning and sanitizing countertops while deep cleaning is when you do more intensive work that requires more time and effort, such as scrubbing floors, walls, windowsills, tight corners, and grout lines.

So a regular cleaning includes such things as:

Low dusting, also known as Light Dusting (the highly visible and easy to reach areas)

Vacuuming floors

– Emptying garbage cans and recycling bins

Wiping down kitchen counters and sinks, stovetops, refrigerator fronts, and handles

Sanitizing bathroom surfaces (sinks, toilets, tubs)

By contrast, deep cleaning can include such things as:

High dusting, also known as Deep Dusting (the less visible and hard to reach areas)

– Scrubbing floors

– Scrubbing garbage cans and recycling bins

Deep Kitchen cleaning that includes scrubbing the insides and behind ovens, refrigerators, and other appliances

– Cleaning tight corners and grout lines

Deep Bathroom cleaning that includes cleaning soap scum and scale from tiles and taps

Your First Class housekeeper does a standard cleaning every time that they visit and can do a partial or complete deep cleaning at any frequency that you request. We can discuss your preferences and establish a deep cleaning schedule to include in your personal cleaning plan during your initial consultation. Contact us First Class Cleaning to arrange for your no-obligation consultation.

How long does a deep cleaning take?

The process of deep cleaning a home can be quite involved, but the results are well worth it.

From dusting to polishing and vacuuming, there is no shortage of tasks you can do. But how long does it take?

This depends on what kind of deep clean you want to be done and how often you want your home deep cleaned.

If we were talking about a weekly or monthly deep clean, then this can be accomplished in an hour or less depending on the size of your home.

However, if we’re talking about a one-time deep clean for when guests come over, after renovations, or before family arrives for Christmas, then it could take much more time.

Your First Class housekeeper does a comprehensive basic cleaning on every visit, which is a great start, but we recommend a deep cleaning on a monthly or quarterly basis to our customers in order to upkeep the home.

The deep clean will be done by the same First Class housekeeper who already does your regular cleaning and they will do the deep cleaning at whatever frequency you desire. They will also focus on the specific areas that you want them to focus on each time or add an extra deep cleaning for a specific room if you choose.

For example, if you cook three meals a day and the whole family eats every meal together, then you may choose to have your housekeeper deep clean your kitchen monthly or even every two weeks. If you have pets and children, you are probably going to want a whole-home deep cleaning more frequently as well. We will discuss your specific deep cleaning service wants and needs at our initial consultation as we work with you to develop your personal cleaning plan. Contact us First Class Cleaning to arrange for your no-obligation consultation.

How often should I have my home deep cleaned?

Deep cleaning service is the best way to remove dirt and grime buildup in your home. Deep cleaning service may be necessary every 3 months or so to keep your house looking amazing, but some people might find that a monthly deep cleaning is more appropriate for their needs.

Your First Class housekeeper performs a basic cleaning every time that they visit, but to keep your home looking its best and maintain your kitchen floors with a proper shine, we recommend deep cleaning once every three months at the very least.

For some homeowners, this would be enough.

Others want us deep clean their kitchens or bathrooms more often – so they may schedule those services more frequently. Still others like a deep cleaning before, and sometimes after, holidays and family get-togethers so they schedule additional deep cleanings as needed. All of these schedules are available to First Class customers.

One of the many considerations you should take into account when deciding how often to deep clean is how many people are in your home, whether or not you have pets or if you leave your windows open often because in New York City, leaving windows open means that the dirt and grime come in and, along with pet hair, your pets and children will track lots of dirt in off the streets.

The frequency of your deep cleaning will depend on the specific things you would like us to focus and we will discuss all of your options during our initial consultation as we work together to develop your personal cleaning plan.
