Standard vs. Deep Cleaning: What’s the Difference and Which Do You Need?

When booking a professional cleaning, one of the first decisions you’ll make is choosing between a Standard Clean and a Deep Clean. But what exactly is the difference—and which one is right for your home or office?

At Bright City Cleaning, we offer both services, and we’re breaking down the details to help you make the best choice based on your space, lifestyle, and cleaning needs.


What Is a Standard Cleaning?

A Standard Clean is ideal for regular maintenance. It focuses on keeping your home looking neat, tidy, and hygienic with essential cleaning tasks.

What’s included:

      • Dusting surfaces and furniture

      • Sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping floors

      • Wiping countertops and visible surfaces

      • Cleaning sinks and fixtures

      • Taking out the trash

      • Light tidying

    Perfect for:

        • Weekly or bi-weekly upkeep

        • Busy professionals who need help staying on top of things

        • Households that don’t require heavy-duty cleaning


      What Is a Deep Cleaning?

       

      A Deep Clean goes far beyond the surface. It targets grime, buildup, and overlooked areas that accumulate over time. It’s more detailed and labor-intensive.

      What’s included (in addition to Standard Cleaning tasks):

          • Scrubbing baseboards, door frames, and trim

          • Cleaning behind appliances (if accessible)

          • Washing tile grout and soap scum removal

          • Inside of the oven and refrigerator (upon request)

          • Dusting ceiling fans, vents, and light fixtures

          • Cleaning interior windows and window sills

        Perfect for:

            • First-time cleanings

            • Seasonal “reset” (spring or fall)

            • Move-in/move-out situations

            • Post-renovation cleanups


          So… Which Do You Need?

          Ask yourself these questions:

          ✅ Has your space gone more than a month without a thorough cleaning? → Go with a Deep Clean
          ✅ Do you keep things relatively clean and just need maintenance? → A Standard Clean should do the trick
          ✅ Moving into or out of a space? → Always choose a Deep Clean for a fresh start
          ✅ New client with Bright City Cleaning? → We often recommend starting with a Deep Clean, then switching to Standard for recurring visits
