Basic Cleaning vs. Deep Cleaning

Many Clients often ask, what's the difference between a Basic cleaning and a Deep Cleaning. Here is the answer:

It is highly recommended that you start with our Deep Cleaning so you get optimal results. If your ceiling fans, light fixtures, door and window trim has not been dusted on a regular basis, our basic cleaning will probably not give you the results you want.
The Deep (or Spring Clean) starts you off fresh and the basic cleanings can be thought of as “maintenance” to your home. To sum up the difference between the two cleans: we hand wipe all items listed in the Deep Clean and feather dust most items in the Basic Clean. However, we never feather dust countertops, dining tables, coffee tables, appliances, etc.
Every "Basic Cleaning" includes the following:

  • Ceiling fans & light fixtures dusted      
  • Cobwebs removed
  • Blinds, window sills dusted
  • Molding & woodwork dusted
  • Baseboards dusted
  • Lamps & lampshades dusted
  • Beds made/sheets changed
  • Stairs vacuumed
  • Floors (vacuumed &/or mopped)
  • Outside of appliances, including top of refrigerator
  • Counter tops & backsplashes
  • Beds made/sheets changed
  • All sinks, mirrors, tub/showers, toilets cleaned
  • Stovetop & drip pans
  • Wastebaskets (emptied & relined)
  • Furniture dusted and polished
  • Pictures & knick-knacks dusted

Our Deep Cleaning addresses heavy dirt and dust build-up and includes all of the "Basic Cleaning" plus:

  • Ceiling fan blades hand wiped
  • Light fixtures (washed in place)
  • Vacuum under moveable furniture
  • Blinds and curtain tops vacuumed
  • Light plate switches washed
  • Door and door frames washed
  • Picture frames wiped off
