Key Takeaways:
- Regularly cleaning your home or commercial space is great for maintenance purposes, but an occasional deep clean is necessary for a true reset.
- Deep cleaning professional spaces shows your tenants that you care about their well-being, which makes them more likely to stick around.
- There are many things individuals can do to keep their homes and workspaces neat, but only a professional cleaning service can do a thorough deep clean.
“Clean” is sometimes a relative term. What one person considers an acceptable level of cleanliness may not meet another person’s higher standards. But when it comes to “regular cleaning” vs. “deep cleaning” services, there’s a fairly set standard.
Your home and workspace deserve both regular cleanings and deep cleanings. Like New Cleaning Service explains the difference.
Regular Cleaning Vs. Deep Cleaning
At home and at work, a clean space looks better, feels fresher, and minimizes health issues caused by dust and germs.
But what does “clean” really mean?
For Homes
You and your family deserve to live, play, eat, sleep, and maybe even work in a clean home. Many people regularly clean their homes, either every day or every few days, as a form of basic housekeeping.
Regular cleaning in a home typically means:
- Dusting surfaces, including window frames
- Sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping all floors, carpets, and rugs
- Cleaning interior windows and mirrors
- Wiping down all faucets
- Sanitizing kitchen and bathroom countertops
- Removing debris
- Cleaning all bathtubs, showers, toilets, and sink basins
- Vacuuming upholstery
- Tidying pillows and blankets
Regular cleaning is, essentially, maintenance and upkeep. The goal is to keep things free of visible dust, mildew, and other build-up.
Deep cleaning your home, on the other hand, typically includes:
- Scouring inside and outside appliances such as ovens, refrigerators, and microwaves
- Cleaning the areas under and around appliances
- Deep scrub of all tile grout
- Window blinds and ceiling fans are dusted and cleaned
- Cleaning cabinet fronts
- Baseboards, especially behind furniture or appliances
- Any marks on walls or other hard surfaces
If regular cleaning is maintenance, then deep cleaning is an intensive reset for your home.
For Commercial Properties
Whether you manage an apartment building or a commercial office complex, people pay you to help keep their workspace tidy. A great way to keep your tenants happy is with both regular and deep cleaning.
Regular cleaning in a commercial space typically includes:
- Sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping floors
- Dusting and disinfecting surfaces, including tables, desks, and window sills
- Cleaning and disinfecting bathrooms, including toilets and shared sinks
- Cleaning shared kitchen or other community spaces
- Disinfecting high-touch surfaces, such as doorknobs
As with homes, this level of cleaning helps maintain basic cleanliness. It prevents the buildup of dust, germs, and mildew in public areas, and helps present a professional first impression.
Deep cleaning in a commercial space typically involves:
- Shampooing carpets
- Polishing or waxing hardwood floors
- Steam cleaning fabric surfaces
- Window washing
- Washing walls
- Cleaning the inside and outside of appliances, as well as the walls and floors around them
- Descaling sinks and toilets
Deep cleaning commercial spaces is most often done:
- During seasonal changes
- After an accident or weather event
- For compliance or inspection reasons
- When an old tenant moves out or before a new one moves in
- A few times a year, as a major reset
- If the space hasn’t been maintained for several months or longer
Deep cleaning your professional space a few times a year shows your tenants that you are deeply committed to their well-being and satisfaction. Happy tenants are more likely to continue renting with you.
Professional Deep Cleaning
With so many benefits to deep cleaning your home or office, here’s why hiring a professional cleaning service matters.
- Saves time. Let the pros handle the mopping and dusting. You focus on spending time with your loved ones or running your business.
- Protects your family and employees. To get a real deep clean, you would have to climb ladders or stools, as well as move heavy furniture or appliances. Professional cleaners work in teams and are trained to handle these situations safely.
- Protects your property. All property, from your couch to your office desk, is subject to regular wear and tear. Professional cleaning helps defend your home and the items inside it from harmful buildup that can exacerbate the normal wear and tear.
- Fewer pests. Removing old, caked-in, or forgotten food particles helps deter pests.
- A healthy environment. Regular cleaning helps eliminate dust, mold, and germs from surfaces as well as the air.
FAQs:
Q: Can’t I just do my own deep cleaning at home?
A: Technically, yes. However, a professional cleaning service has the right tools, products, and training to get into even the most hidden crevices and corners of your house that you might miss.
Q: Are professional cleaning services expensive?
A: The cost of services depends on what you need done, the size of the space, and how often you request service. Always get a quote before you hire a company, and make sure you know exactly what’s covered.
Q: How often should I deep clean my commercial property?
A: On top of regularly scheduled cleanings, we strongly recommend a deep clean three or four times a year. For properties with exceptional cleaning needs, such as medical facilities or pet stores, we recommend a deep clean every other month or more.
Q: How often should I deep clean my home?
A: Besides a regular housekeeping service every week or two, we recommend investing in a deep clean two or three times a year. If you live in a home with pets or small children, it’s probably a good idea to deep clean your home every two to three months.
