Maintenance Clean vs. Deep Clean: Which is Right for You?
Simone Forde


Choosing between a maintenance clean and a deep clean depends on your home's needs and your preferences. Here’s a comparison to help you decide:


Maintenance Clean

A maintenance clean is ideal for regular upkeep. It focuses on keeping your home consistently tidy and includes tasks like dusting, vacuuming, cleaning countertops, and sanitizing bathrooms. It’s perfect for maintaining a clean and orderly home on a regular basis.


Best for:

- Regular, ongoing cleaning

- Busy individuals or families who need consistent maintenance


Deep Clean

A deep clean goes beyond the surface to tackle grime and dirt buildup. It includes everything in a maintenance clean, plus detailed tasks like cleaning behind appliances, scrubbing grout, and washing windows. This thorough clean is great for a seasonal refresh or preparing for special occasions.


Best for:

- Homes that haven't been professionally cleaned in a while

- Seasonal or annual deep cleaning


How to Decide

- Frequency: If you need regular cleaning, opt for maintenance clean. For occasional, thorough cleaning, choose a deep clean.

- Condition: For homes needing a significant refresh or those with high-traffic areas, a deep clean is better.

- Special Occasions: A deep clean is ideal before hosting events or after renovations.
