🧽The Cleaning Breakdown: Standard vs. Deep Cleaning Explained

Deep & Standard Cleaning Services, What’s the Difference?

When booking professional cleaning services, it’s easy to wonder: what’s the difference between a standard clean and a deep clean?

At Maid Different, we believe an informed client is a happy client. Knowing what each service includes helps you choose the right level of clean for your home, vacation rental, or commercial business.

What Is a Standard Cleaning?

A standard cleaning focuses on maintaining a clean, tidy environment. Think of it as your regular upkeep. It is the kind of cleaning that keeps your home, commercial business, or vacation rental fresh and inviting between deep cleans. 

What’s included in a standard cleaning?

• Dusting furniture, décor, and surfaces

• Wiping countertops and tables

• Cleaning bathrooms and kitchen areas

• Vacuuming and mopping floors

• Emptying trash and general tidying

  
  

When to Book a Standard Cleaning

A standard cleaning service is ideal for:

• Recurring cleaning schedules (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly)

• Homes, rentals, or offices that are already in good condition

• Quick turnover cleans for short-term rental hosts

This service maintains your space and keeps it guest-ready and/or presentable to guests and clients every day.

What Is a Deep Cleaning?

Our deep cleaning service goes far beyond surface shine. It’s a detailed, top-to-bottom service that targets areas often forgotten about. It is perfect for removing buildup, getting rid of hidden dust and debris, and overall improving the air quality and freshness of your space. 

Think of this as a home detail. Everything possible is scrubbed and cleaned by hand and any spots, marks, and stains are removed. 

What’s included in a deep cleaning?

• Washing baseboards by hand

• Removing limescale and soap scum from showers and bathtubs

• Degreasing cabinet exteriors and tops

• Hand detailing light fixtures, vents, and fans

• Moving furniture (when possible) to get behind everything

• Scrubbing interior of kitchen and bathroom garbage cans

  
  

When to book a deep cleaning

A deep cleaning is recommended for:

• First-time cleaning appointments

• Seasonal refreshes or post-event cleanups

• Move-in or move-out cleanings

• Homes or offices that have never been professionally cleaned or haven’t been cleaned in at least 3 months.

Starting with a deep clean allows our luxury cleaning company to bring your property up to the highest standard, making every following maintenance clean more efficient and effective.

Standard Clean vs. Deep Clean: Which Do You Need?

If it’s been more than a month since your last professional cleaning, or if your space hasn’t had a detailed clean in a while, a deep clean is the best place to start. Once that’s done, you can move to a recurring standard cleaning schedule to maintain that spotless, refreshed look.

For vacation rental owners and Airbnb hosts, we often recommend seasonal deep cleans, especially before peak booking periods, to ensure every guest enjoys a flawless experience.
