Keeping your home clean and well-maintained is more than just sweeping floors and wiping surfaces. The type of cleaning service your home needs can vary based on your lifestyle, schedule, home size, and overall cleanliness. Knowing the differences between these services can help you choose the right one and get the most value for your investment.

Best for: Weekly or bi-weekly maintenance
Standard cleaning is the routine service most homeowners are familiar with. It includes basic tasks like:
Dusting surfaces
Vacuuming and mopping floors
Cleaning bathrooms and kitchens
Emptying trash bins
If your home is already in good condition and you just want to keep it that way, a standard clean is perfect for ongoing maintenance.
Best for: Seasonal refresh or first-time service
Deep cleaning goes beyond the surface. It includes everything in a standard clean plus more intensive tasks such as:
Scrubbing baseboards
Cleaning inside appliances (microwave, oven, fridge)
Removing built-up grime from bathroom tiles
Hand-wiping all reachable surfaces
If your home hasn’t been professionally cleaned in a while or if you're starting a recurring service, we recommend a deep clean first.
Best for: Preparing a home for sale or a new tenant
These are detailed and thorough cleans designed to make a home spotless and “like new.” Services typically include:
Cleaning inside cabinets, drawers, and closets
Wiping down all walls and doors
Full appliance cleaning
Window cleaning (interior)
Spot-cleaning walls and baseboards
It’s ideal for landlords, tenants, and homeowners moving in or out of a property.
Best for: Newly built or recently renovated homes
After a renovation or construction project, there's dust and debris everywhere—even in places you wouldn’t expect. This cleaning includes:
Removing sawdust and fine dust from surfaces
Wiping down walls, vents, and fixtures
Detailed vacuuming and mopping
Window and frame cleaning
It’s important to use professionals who understand the sensitivity of new surfaces and construction materials.
5. Customized or Specialty Cleaning
Best for: Homes with specific needs or preferences
Sometimes, you might need something more tailored, such as:
Green/Eco-friendly cleaning
Pet hair removal
Garage or patio cleaning
Organization and decluttering services
These services can be customized based on your preferences, lifestyle, or the unique needs
of your home.
Final Thoughts
Understanding the type of cleaning your home needs helps you choose the right service, budget wisely, and maintain a healthy, beautiful space. Whether you need a simple maintenance clean or a top-to-bottom refresh, working with a professional cleaning service ensures your home gets the care it deserves.
