Deep cleaning is a different job from regular housekeeping. It reaches the surfaces routine cleaning never touches, and it is worth booking around the points where it actually matters — moving in, moving out, or after building work.
Deep Cleaning
Full property clean reaching everything routine cleaning misses.
Behind and beneath appliances, inside cupboards, along skirting and door frames, light fittings, switch plates, window tracks and grouting. The places that accumulate steadily and never get addressed in a weekly clean.
Most properties benefit from this once or twice a year, and it makes a visible difference to how a home feels rather than just how it looks.
What the job includes
All rooms cleaned top to bottom
Kitchen including inside and behind appliances
Bathroom descaling and sanitising
Skirting, doors, frames and switch plates
Interior windows and tracks
Floors washed and finished
Typical time on site: Apartment: 4–6 hours. Villa: a full day.
Handover-standard cleaning for the start or end of a tenancy.
Move-out cleaning is usually about the security deposit, and it needs to reach the standard the landlord or agent will actually inspect against — which is generally stricter than a normal clean.
Move-in cleaning is about not inheriting someone else’s residue. Either way the property is empty, which means everything is accessible and the job can be done properly.
What the job includes
Complete property deep clean
Inside all cupboards, wardrobes and drawers
Full appliance cleaning inside and out
Bathroom and kitchen descaling
Interior windows, tracks and sills
Balcony and terrace areas
Typical time on site: Apartment: 5–8 hours. Villa: 1–2 days.
Deep extraction cleaning for upholstery, carpets, rugs and mattresses.
Upholstery holds dust, skin cells and odour well beyond what vacuuming removes. Hot water extraction lifts embedded soiling out of the fibres rather than redistributing it across the surface.
Worth doing annually in most homes, and more often where there are pets, allergies or young children.
What the job includes
Hot water extraction cleaning
Pre-treatment of visible stains
Sofas, armchairs, carpets, rugs and mattresses
Deodorising treatment
Fabric-appropriate methods
Typical time on site: 2–4 hours. Drying takes several hours more.
Removing fine dust and residue after building or renovation work.
Construction dust is fine enough to settle into every surface in a property and reappear for weeks afterwards. It also finds its way into the air conditioning system, which then redistributes it.
This is a staged clean rather than a single pass — coarse debris first, then fine dust, then a final detailed clean once the dust in the air has settled.
What the job includes
Debris and material removal
Fine dust removal from all surfaces
Paint, adhesive and cement residue removal
Window, frame and track cleaning
AC filter and grille cleaning
Final detailed clean
Typical time on site: Quoted by property size and the state of the site.
