Deep cleaning in Columbus, Ohio

A standard clean keeps a maintained home maintained. A deep clean is for everything that accumulates between them: the grease film above the stove, grout that's gone grey, window tracks full of grit.

Our deep clean starts where the standard clean stops. Baseboards get wiped by hand, not dusted. Vent covers come off the wall. The fridge gets pulled out and we clean behind it — that spot alone usually justifies the visit.

These two rooms are where the difference between a standard and a deep clean is most visible, so they get the most time.

• Cabinet fronts, degreased rather than wiped
• Inside the microwave
• The range hood filter
• The oven, if you add it
• Grout lines scrubbed, not mopped over
• The shower door descaled
• The exhaust fan cover washed
• Window tracks cleared of grit

A standard clean covers kitchens, bathrooms, floors and the surfaces you touch daily. It's the right choice for a home already on a rotation.

A deep clean goes after what builds up between those visits. If it's been a while, or nobody has cleaned behind the appliances since you moved in, that's a deep clean. Many homes have one deep clean first and then move onto a recurring standard visit, which keeps the deep work from being needed again.

If a room doesn't need the full treatment, say so when you request the clean. The owner reads every request and will quote the visit to match what your home actually needs rather than selling you the largest version of the job.
