Deep cleaning is a thorough cleaning process that goes beyond the surface, tackling dust, grime, and bacteria that accumulate in hard-to-reach areas and over time. It’s ideal for areas that don’t get regular attention or haven’t been cleaned comprehensively in a while.
Here’s what you can expect from a deep cleaning:
Focus on detail: Deep cleaning tackles all surfaces, including crevices, corners, baseboards, behind appliances, and even inside vents. No dusty nook or cranny is spared!
Specialized tools and techniques: Deep cleaning may involve specialized tools like steam cleaners, carpet shampooers, or pressure washers depending on the surface and grime level.
Removal of built-up dirt and allergens: Regular cleaning might remove surface dirt, but deep cleaning tackles tougher stains, removes allergens like dust mites and pet dander, and disinfects surfaces from bacteria and viruses.
Fresh and revitalized space: A deep clean can make your home or office feel like new again, eliminating any lingering odors and leaving everything sparkling clean.
Here are some specific areas where deep cleaning is beneficial:
- Kitchen: Ovens, stovetops, refrigerators, deep sinks, exhaust fans, cabinets, backsplashes.
- Bathroom: Showers, bathtubs, toilets, sinks, tile walls, floors, drains.
- Bedrooms: Mattresses (vacuuming and flipping), carpets or rugs, under furniture, inside closets.
- Living room: Upholstery, drapes, blinds, windowsills, baseboards, behind furniture.
- Floors: Deep cleaning carpets, hard floors like tile or wood, scrubbing grout, removing stains.
If you’re considering a deep clean, here are some things to keep in mind:
