Basic Vs. Deep Cleaning: What’s the Difference?

House cleaning in Santa Rosa is one of the most time-consuming and most disliked household chores. Afterall, who wants to spend hours cleaning every nook and cranny of their home?


If you dislike cleaning your home, consider hiring house cleaning company so that your home is cleaned in a stress-free manner.

Professional house cleaners offer two types of cleaning services: basic cleaning and deep cleaning. Before you reach out to a professional for help, make the effort to understand how these services differ from one another and what’s included in both basic and deep cleaning.


What is Basic Cleaning


When you hire a house cleaning professional for basic or regular cleaning, they perform regular cleaning tasks. During a basic cleaning session, the house cleaning company will clean the surfaces and items in your home you use on a daily basis. The aim of basic cleaning is to maintain a certain level of cleanliness.


What’s Included in Basic Cleaning?


During a basic cleaning session, your house cleaning company will:


  • Mop and vacuum floors
  • Dust ceiling fans and fixtures, baseboards, blinds, windowsills, moldings and woodwork
  • Clean the tub, shower, and bathroom tiles
  • Scrub and disinfect sinks
  • Clean the exterior of household appliances and cooktops
  • Dust or vacuum furniture
  • Empty trash cans
  • Vacuum stairs
  • Wipe down windows and mirrors
  • Clean doors

What is Deep Cleaning?

 

Deep cleaning is a more involved task than regular cleaning. The aim of deep cleaning is to thoroughly clean each and every corner of a house. It targets dirt, dust, and debris hiding in difficult-to-reach spots in homes. Many house cleaning companies have a standard rule that requires first-time customers to schedule a deep cleaning. Thereafter, they can set a schedule for regular cleaning.

  • You are moving out of a rented house
