Maintenance vs. Deep Cleaning
Deep Cleaning
You’ve heard these words being spoken around your mom friends, or maybe your auntie has just “had one,” but you’re wondering what the heck they’re talking about. “Do I need one?” Don’t panic. This is a common question asked by new clients when they come on board with Sterile Corps. Often people don’t think they need deep cleaning, or they’re unsure when it comes to deciding whether your home needs a deep clean. So to simplify this process, we wrote this article to explain the difference and how often you should do this practice.
What is the difference?
A standard clean is something that a homeowner does (or should do) regularly to upkeep the cleanliness of their homes. Regular chores, such as vacuuming and mopping the floors, general bathroom cleaning, kitchen cleaning, and dusting.
When you initiate a residential cleaning service with us, your home will get a thorough cleaning, to bring the home to our standards. This cleaning will be longer than future recurring cleanings. At the initial cleaning, we include, for instance, wiping the doors, dusting exposed baseboards, chairs, dressers, and other small furniture, dusting window sills, sink basins, and cabinets. We pay attention to places in your home that tend to go unnoticed.
A deep clean, to us, is when on top of the “special attention,” more effort is needed, scrubbing, dusting, and wiping. Take a look at these bathtubs and guess which one would be considered to need a deep cleaning:
In most cases, be the case when the same level of cleaning is required in the kitchen, bedrooms, and living areas. In general, deep house cleaning takes more time, and also require more effort, compared to a regular maintenance cleaning. That’s why it is slightly more expensive.

Why is a Deep Cleaning Important?
We’re not going to beat around the bush here; deep cleaning takes time and effort. Still, the benefits you will see and feel are underestimated. If you neglect to treat your home to regular cleanings, it can become hazardous for your family’s health. This is especially true if you have allergy suffers or young children in the house. The build-up of dust, mold, mildew, and bacteria can make the symptoms of an allergy sufferer worse.
Your naturally curious baby is going to put everything in their mouths, and nothing in your home is immune to that. The American Cleaning Institute state that a sanitized, clean home has an essential role in fighting off harmful diseases and improving general health and can have the following benefits:
Better Indoor Air Quality
Freeing your home from dust and allergens by cleaning carpets, furniture, curtains, and walls will benefit not only allergy suffers but also the whole family who will be able to breathe in fresher air.
Eliminates Bacteria And Viruses
Dirty environments can become home for many microorganisms to breed. The more dust and dirt that is in your house – the more bacteria. Deep cleaning can also be seen as disinfecting your home from top to bottom and inside out. Something that can’t be achieved with regular cleaning.
Reduces Mold
Deep cleaning requires you to move stuff around – your furniture and household appliances. This is an excellent way of detecting mold growth that you may not have spotted with a regular clean. Mold build-up can be hazardous for allergy sufferers and can cause other respiratory illnesses.
Reduces Stress
A clean, clutter-free house makes for a clean, clutter-free mind. According to psychology studies, when your space is clean and tidy, you are more productive and focused; you have less stress and anxiety and feel more energized and positive.
Encourages Organization
As you know by now, moving things around during a deep clean is unavoidable. This can become an excellent opportunity for you to go through your possessions and throw away anything that doesn’t serve a purpose anymore. You may find yourself loading boxes of things that you can sell and organize for a garage sale.
