The short version
A standard clean maintains a home that’s already in good shape: kitchen, bathrooms, dusting, floors. A deep clean restores a home that needs more: everything in a standard clean plus baseboards, built-up grime, grout, tracks, vents and the details.

Which one do you need?
- Book a deep clean if it’s your first professional cleaning, it’s been a few months, you’re hosting, or you’re opening a seasonal home.
- Book a standard clean if the home is cleaned regularly and just needs upkeep.
Most clients start with one deep clean, then move to recurring standard cleaning. Compare prices for your home in the cost calculator.
