✨ Standard Clean vs. Deep Clean — What’s the Difference and Why You Need Both ✨
At Honest House Cleaning Services, we want our clients to understand exactly what type of cleaning best fits their home’s needs. Here’s a simple breakdown to help you choose the right service:
🧽 Standard Cleaning
A standard clean is your routine maintenance cleaning — perfect for keeping your home tidy, fresh, and manageable on a regular basis.
What it typically includes:
• Dusting surfaces
• Vacuuming & mopping floors
• Cleaning bathrooms (toilets, sinks, counters, mirrors)
• Wiping kitchen counters & exterior appliances
• Taking out trash
• Light spot cleaning
How often to schedule:
✔ Weekly
✔ Bi-weekly
✔ Monthly
Why it’s important:
A standard clean prevents buildup, keeps your home consistently fresh, and makes deeper cleanings faster and easier. It’s ideal for busy families and anyone who wants to maintain a clean and healthy home year-round.
🧼 Deep Cleaning
A deep clean goes beyond the basics and targets hidden dirt, grime, and areas that don’t get attention during regular cleaning.
What it typically includes:
• Cleaning baseboards, trim, and doors
• Scrubbing shower walls, tubs, and tile
• Wiping interior of appliances (microwave, stove, fridge exterior)
• Cleaning behind/under movable furniture where possible
• Detailed dusting of vents, blinds, & window sills
• Removing buildup in hard-to-reach areas
How often to schedule:
✔ Every 3–6 months
✔ Before hosting events or holidays
✔ When starting regular cleanings for the first time
✔ After a long gap between cleanings
Why it’s important:
Deep cleanings reset your home by removing layers of dirt and buildup that standard cleanings don’t address. They improve air quality, extend the life of your fixtures and appliances, and create a truly refreshed environment.
🌟 How They Work Together
Think of standard cleaning as maintenance and deep cleaning as a reset.
A home that gets periodic deep cleanings and regular standard cleanings stays cleaner, healthier, and easier to maintain — saving you time and stress.
