Difference Between Standard and Deep Cleaning

Keeping your home clean is essential for a healthy and comfortable living environment. However, not all cleaning sessions are created equal. At Rinse It Cleaning we often get asked about the difference between standard cleaning and deep cleaning. To help you understand what each service entails and when you might need them, we’ve put together this comprehensive guide.

What is Standard Cleaning?

Standard cleaning is your routine cleaning service designed to maintain a basic level of cleanliness in your home. This type of cleaning is typically performed on a regular basis, such as weekly or bi-weekly, and focuses on keeping surfaces tidy and sanitized.

Standard Cleaning Includes:

Dusting

Removing dust from surfaces like furniture, shelves, and décor

Vacuuming & Mopping

Cleaning floors, including carpets, rugs, and hard surfaces.

Surface Cleaning

Wiping down countertops, tables, and other flat surfaces.

Bathroom Cleaning

Cleaning sinks, toilets, showers, and mirrors.

Kitchen Cleaning

Wiping down appliances, cabinets, and cleaning the sink.

Trash Removal 

Emptying trash bins and replacing liners.

What is Deep Cleaning?

Deep cleaning goes beyond the surface to target hidden dirt, grime, and build-up that accumulate over time. This thorough cleaning is more intensive and typically performed less frequently, such as quarterly or bi-annually.

Deep Cleaning Includes:

All Standard Cleaning Tasks:

Dusting, vacuuming, mopping, and surface cleaning.

Detailed Cleaning:

Cleaning baseboards, window sills, door frames, and light fixtures

Behind and Under Furniture:

Moving furniture to clean behind and underneath.
