Booking house cleaning services in Colorado but not sure whether to choose “standard” or “deep clean”?

You’re not alone. In fact, over 60% of first-time clients underestimate what a deep clean includes — and end up calling us back a week later for the upgrade.

This quick guide breaks it all down: What’s included, what’s not, and how to decide based on your home’s condition.

🧼 What’s a Standard House Cleaning?

A regular “maintenance clean” is perfect for clients who keep a relatively tidy home but want help with routine chores. It includes:

• ✔️ Kitchen wipe-down (counters, cabinet fronts, microwave exterior)
• ✔️ Bathroom surfaces & toilets cleaned
• ✔️ Floors vacuumed & mopped
• ✔️ Dusting of reachable areas
• ✔️ Trash emptied

It's ideal for repeat weekly or biweekly clients who want to keep things looking fresh.

🧽 What’s a Deep Cleaning?

A deep cleaning is designed for homes that haven’t been professionally cleaned in 30+ days — or ever.

We go room by room with more detail, more scrubbing, and more elbow grease. Here’s what gets added:

• 🧹 Baseboards hand-wiped
• 🪟 Windowsills, blinds, and trim detailed
• 🐾 Pet hair removal from corners and furniture
• 🚿 Soap scum & hard water spot removal from glass and tile
• 🧼 Inside of appliances (fridge, oven — on request)

Real-world example: A client in Centennial booked a regular clean after 6 months without one. We recommended upgrading to a deep clean, and after seeing the difference, they signed up for monthly maintenance — and referred 3 friends.

🔍 Which One Do You Actually Need?

Here’s how to tell:

• ✅ If it’s your first clean in 4+ weeks → Deep Clean
• ✅ If you’re moving in or out → Deep Clean (or Move-Out Clean)
• ✅ If you have pets, kids, or allergies → Deep Clean to start
• ✅ If you’re already on a cleaning schedule → Standard is fine
