People ask me all the time what actually happens during a deep cleaning, and I love this question because I could talk about it for hours. A deep clean isn’t just your regular clean with extra elbow grease. It’s a room by room, corner by corner reset that gets to all the spots that build up over weeks and months. I want you to know exactly what you’re getting when you book one with me, so let’s walk through it together, room by room.
The Kitchen
The kitchen is where I spend the most love and time, honestly. I clean inside your oven, wiping away the grease and baked on bits that a quick wipe never touches. I pull out the fridge shelves and drawers and wipe down the interior, including those mystery sticky spots we all pretend not to see. The microwave gets scrubbed inside and out, and I don’t just wipe the front of your cabinets, I clean the fronts thoroughly and get into the handles and grooves where grime hides. The hood vent above your stove gets degreased, since that thing collects more grease than most people realize. I also get under the sink, wiping down the cabinet floor and pipes area, and I clean around and behind small appliances that usually just sit there collecting crumbs.
The Bathrooms
Bathrooms get the deep treatment too. I scrub the grout lines in the shower and on the floor, not just a quick pass but an actual scrub to lift the grime out of those little grooves. The toilet gets cleaned at the base and around the bolts, not just the bowl and seat. I wipe down the exhaust fan cover, since that collects dust bunnies faster than you’d think, and I clean the inside of cabinets and drawers, including under the sink. Mirrors, fixtures, and any glass shower doors get a real shine, not just a swipe.
Living Areas
In the living room and other common spaces, I get down to the baseboards and wipe them clean of the dust that piles up along the floor edges. Ceiling fans get wiped blade by blade, and light fixtures get dusted so they actually shine instead of casting a dusty glow. I move furniture where I safely can and clean behind and under it, because that’s where dust bunnies throw their biggest parties. Vents get wiped down too, so the air moving through your home isn’t kicking dust around the room.
Bedrooms
Bedrooms get the same thorough approach. I dust every surface including headboards, dressers, and nightstands, wipe down baseboards, clean light fixtures and ceiling fans, and get into closet shelving if you’d like. I also move furniture to clean underneath when possible, since that’s another spot that quietly collects dust between regular cleanings.
Windows, Tracks, and Sills
Windows get real attention in a deep clean. I wipe down the sills and clean out the tracks, where dirt and dead bugs like to collect and nobody wants to deal with. Interior glass gets cleaned so the light coming through your windows actually feels bright and clear again.
By the time I’m done, your home doesn’t just look clean, it feels reset. I take a lot of pride in getting the spots that are easy to skip, because those are usually the ones that make the biggest difference once they’re actually done. If your home hasn’t had this kind of attention in a while, or if you just want that fresh start feeling, I’d love to come take care of it for you.
