Quick answer: what does deep cleaning include?
A deep clean usually goes beyond routine dusting, vacuuming and surface wiping. It focuses more time on built-up dirt, edges, detailed kitchen and bathroom work, skirting, reachable fittings and areas that are often missed during maintenance cleaning.
Kitchen deep cleaning
Kitchen work can include detailed cleaning of worktops, splashbacks, sinks and taps, cupboard fronts, accessible surfaces, appliance exteriors and floor edges. Grease build-up often needs more attention than a routine wipe-down.
Inside ovens, fridges, cupboards or other appliances should be specifically confirmed because these items may require extra time and may be treated as add-ons.
Bathrooms and wet areas
Bathrooms generally need detailed attention around showers, baths, basins, taps, toilets, mirrors, tiles and accessible grout. Soap residue, mineral marks and built-up dirt may require more time than a standard bathroom clean.
If there is mould, heavy staining or damage, describe it when requesting a quote because specialist treatment may fall outside normal cleaning scope.
Bedrooms and living areas
A deeper clean may include detailed dusting, reachable ledges, skirting, doors and frames, furniture exteriors, vacuuming and mopping, plus attention to corners and edges. Ask in advance about moving heavy furniture or cleaning inside wardrobes.
