People often ask whether they need a general cleaning or a deep cleaning. The short answer: general cleaning maintains a space, and deep cleaning resets it.
General cleaning covers the regular upkeep — dusting, vacuuming, mopping, wiping down counters and surfaces, and sanitizing kitchens and bathrooms. It's what keeps a clean home or office clean, and it works best on a regular schedule, such as weekly or every other week.
Deep cleaning tackles what regular cleaning leaves behind. Think baseboards, door frames, window sills, grout lines, the inside of the oven and refrigerator, and the spots behind and under furniture. It takes longer because the work is more detailed.
A deep clean makes sense when you're moving in or out, when it's been a while since the last thorough clean, after a renovation, or when the seasons change and you want a fresh start. Many people book a deep clean first and then keep things fresh with regular general cleaning.
If your space is already tidy and you just want it to stay that way, general cleaning is the right fit. If you can see buildup in corners, around fixtures, or on tile and grout, start with a deep clean.
