What's Included in a Professional Deep Clean?

A professional deep clean is one of the most comprehensive home maintenance investments you can make. Unlike a regular maintenance clean — which focuses on keeping things tidy — a deep clean tackles every corner, crevice, and built-up layer of grime that accumulates over time.

But what exactly do we mean when we say "deep clean"? Here's a complete breakdown.

What's Included in a Professional Deep Clean?

Kitchen — The Most Labour-Intensive Area

The kitchen accumulates the most grime and is usually where the most time is spent in a deep clean.

  • Oven: Cleaned inside and out, including racks, door glass, and cavity walls
  • Rangehood: Filters degreased or replaced, exterior wiped down
  • Fridge: Interior shelves, drawers, and door seals cleaned
  • Cupboards: All doors, hinges, and interiors wiped down
  • Stovetop and burners: Grease removed, burner grates soaked and scrubbed
  • Benchtops: Scrubbed and sanitised including edges and backsplash
  • Sink: Descaled, polished, drain cleaned

Bathrooms — Hygiene Priority

  • Tiles and grout: Scrubbed and treated (grout brightening included)
  • Shower screen: Calcium and soap scum removed
  • Toilet: Inside bowl, under rim, behind toilet, seat and hinges
  • Exhaust fan: Cover removed and cleaned
  • Vanity and storage: All surfaces wiped, including shelves inside cabinets
  • Mirrors: Polished streak-free

Living Areas

  • Walls: Washed down for marks, fingerprints, and scuffs
  • Skirting boards: Scrubbed — not just dusted
  • Light fittings: Removed and cleaned (ceiling fans included)
  • Window sills and tracks: Scrubbed and vacuumed
  • Blinds: Each slat wiped or vacuumed
  • Under and behind furniture: Moved (where safe to do so) and cleaned beneath
  • Air vents and return air grilles: Dusted and wiped

Bedrooms

  • Wardrobe interiors: Shelves, rails, and floor vacuumed
  • Ceiling fan blades: Wiped down
  • Under-bed area: Vacuumed thoroughly
  • Door handles and light switches: Sanitised
  • Carpets: Deep vacuum (steam cleaning available as add-on)

When Should You Book a Deep Clean?

Deep cleans are ideal for:

  • Moving into a new home — even new builds can have construction dust and residue
  • Spring cleaning — resetting the home before the warmer months
  • Post-renovation — dust and debris from building work gets everywhere
  • Before/after hosting a major event
  • When a property needs a complete reset — if regular cleaning has slipped

How Long Does a Deep Clean Take?

Expect:

  • 1–2 bedroom home: 4–5 hours
  • 3–4 bedroom home: 6–7 hours
  • 5+ bedroom home: 8+ hours

Timing varies based on property condition. A home that hasn't had a thorough clean in some time will naturally take longer.
