What's Included in a Residential Deep Cleaning?
A residential deep clean covers everything a standard recurring clean skips: inside the oven and refrigerator, baseboards, window tracks and sills, grout and tile, ceiling fans and light fixtures, and behind or under furniture. It's meant to reset a home to a true baseline, not just tidy visible surfaces.
Deep Cleaning vs. Standard Cleaning
A standard or recurring visit maintains a home that's already clean — wiping counters, vacuuming, bathrooms, and kitchen surfaces. A deep clean is the reset point, usually recommended in three situations:
- Before starting a recurring plan, so the plan maintains an already-reset baseline
- Seasonally, roughly every 3-6 months
- Around a major life event — a new baby, illness recovery, or hosting guests
In Seattle, deep cleaning runs about $119.99/hour, with most homes needing a half-day to full day depending on size and current condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a deep clean take?
Typically 3-8 hours depending on home size and condition.
Do I need a deep clean before recurring service starts?
Most companies recommend it so the recurring plan maintains an already-reset baseline rather than trying to catch up on buildup.
