Home · Routine & Deep Cleaning

Routine cleaning, or a deep clean?

One keeps a place at a standard. The other brings it back to one. Here is how to tell which you are actually asking for.

Two jobs that get confused with each other.

Routine cleaning is upkeep. Deep cleaning is recovery. They use different products, take different amounts of time, and are priced on different things — which is why we quote them separately.

Most clients need routine cleaning on a cycle, and a deep clean at a point: before a tenancy starts, after building work, at the turn of a season, or simply when the place has not had one in a while.
