Deep Clean vs. Standard Clean: What's the Difference?

Which one you actually need — and when.

Standard cleaning

Routine upkeep — surfaces, floors, bathrooms, and kitchen — for a home that's already maintained.

Deep cleaning

A top-to-bottom detail including buildup: baseboards, inside appliances, grout, and neglected areas. Best for first-time or seasonal cleans.

Move-in/out

Empty-home deep clean for move day — often required to get a deposit back.
