Deep Cleaning vs Regular Cleaning: Which should you book?

August 1, 2024

Many of us find the task of cleaning our homes difficult and a chore that we always want to put off until tomorrow. However, if we’re honest about it, we’re all aware of the importance of a clean and sanitized home and we’re able to see it as a necessary evil. If families and households aren’t able to carry out cleaning on their homes themselves, it’s best to bring in a professional cleaning service. At that point they will be faced with the question whether they would be best suited to a one off deep clean or cleaning on a more regular basis. It’s important to look at these two methods of cleaning in a little more detail before booking in your service.

The Deep Clean – A one off booking to meet your requirements

The deep clean is a one-off booking which completely sanitizes your home in one day. It doesn’t matter if you’ve really let cleaning fall by the wayside in your home, a deep clean will have it looking spotless, smelling fresh and feeling like new in no time. Whether that means moving furniture, scrubbing of an oven or the inside of a fridge, or reaching out-of-

sight shelves, a deep clean is a total reset for your home.

A number of situations might give rise to a customer booking in a deep clean on a one-off basis. It may be that they require a seasonal deep clean or that they have family visiting so want their home to be in the best shape. Many customers also book deep cleans after hosting parties. Regardless of the customer’s situation and reason for booking, the deep clean brings back that sparkle to the home so that it can be enjoyed again. This isn’t just cleaning; a deep clean completely revitalizes the home, doesn’t cut corners and improves the owner or tenant’s enjoyment of the home as a whole. It can be truly transformational.

Crucially, it is always carried out by experienced and well trained staff (this font – experienced and well trained staff – should be an internal link to the Serene Clean Homepage).


A Deep Clean: a transformational experience


A deep clean deals with any hard to reach areas and goes above and beyond to really bring the life back into a home that is perhaps in real need of an uplift and freshen up. This might

mean sanitising and scrubbing rooms that have recently been renovated, hoovering all

dusting, sweeping up debris, whatever is required to meet the customer’s requirements and

bring the home back to its former glory.

A deep clean can have an economic impact for the customer if the home is going to be

appraised and put on the market for a sale. Having the property looking its best can make a

difference in the valuation figure. So a deep clean is not just about making things look good

Bespoke and Tailored

The beauty of a one off deep clean is that is can be tailored to meet your requirements. This

flexibility is crucial when carrying out a clean after a renovation, carrying out a clean after a

move, or after the hosting of a party. The focus for each of these cleans can be different

and a one off service allows the customer to best choose the type of clean they require to

ensure the property is brought back to its former glory. Homes of pet owners often require

a specific type of clean to ensure the environment is kept clean. This often involves an

extensive detailed clean to remove the home of hair left from shedding, muddy paws and

getting rid of any unwanted smells and odours. Smokers houses bring their own unique

challenges where the tar, smells and ash from cigarettes need to be fully sanitized from a

property as part of the deep clean service and this is clearly beyond the scope of you

standard regular cleaning service.

The Heartbeat to your home: the Regular Clean

A regular cleaning service is usually or weekly or bi weekly cleaning service that takes care of

the dust, dirt, and debris that builds up around the home on a consistent basis. This creates

a sanitized, safe and fresh environment for everyone long term. Many households have busy

schedules and the whole idea of the regular clean is to take the stress away from cleaning

for the homeowners or tenants, so that they can focus on other areas of their lives that

need attending to. Regular cleaning helps to ensure that the home remains a sanctuary for

rest, leaving the stress of working life at the office.

A consistent, long-term approach

Regular cleaning is about forward planning and consistency. With many of us living busy

working and social lives, we value the importance of having someone turn up on a regular

basis and do the hoovering, mopping and polishing that we perhaps don’t have the time or

energy to do.

This prevents overwhelm of cleaning tasks and can really help maintain a positive mindset

for inhabitants, taking away the stress from daily life.

Be proud of your home, at all times

No-one really wants to run around their home with a hoover and a mop last minute when

they have a friend or family member coming to stay. Having regular cleaning at a set time

each week simply means that you can be proud of your house at all times and it takes away

the stress of personally having to keep your home presentable at all times. It’s all about

creating a welcoming and easily maintained environments, so that when people come and

stay their more likely to enjoy their experience and you are too.

Looking after pets? Look after your home

Pets can make a house a home but sometimes they really know how leave a trail of mess in

their wake. From unwanted smells, stains and hair shedding, household pets really do have

a lot to answer for sometimes. Therefore, pet owners often value regular cleaning because

it allows them to stay on top of everything before the pets start to run the show a little too

much. Importantly, it’s not just about cleaning away the odd muddy paw mark or freshening

up any doggy smells, regular cleaning for households with pets helps to ensure a safer and

allergy free environment, improving well being for everyone. We all love pets, but this is

about creating a healthy environment for everybody.

So which is best, deep cleaning or regular cleaning?

Ultimately there is no right answer and it will depend up the needs of each households.

Some may want a transformational deep cleaning service every now and then, but decide to

maintain the home in between deep cleans. Others will want a regular cleaning slot on the

same day and time each week to maintain their home so that they can receive the stress

relieving benefit of a professional cleaning service. Whatever you decide, you can rely on a

professional, well trained cleaning service to get the job done for you so you can get on with

living your best life.
