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.
Regular Clean vs Deep Clean: What's the Difference?
| Feature | Regular Clean | Deep Clean |
|---|---|---|
| Frequency | Weekly / fortnightly | Seasonal / once-off |
| Oven interior | ✗ | ✓ |
| Fridge interior | ✗ | ✓ |
| Inside cupboards | ✗ | ✓ |
| Window tracks | Sometimes | ✓ |
| Grout scrubbing | ✗ | ✓ |
| Behind appliances | ✗ | ✓ |
| Walls | Spot only | Full wash |
| Duration | 2–3 hours | 4–8 hours |
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.
