A regular clean keeps surfaces, floors, kitchens and bathrooms in good shape. A deep clean goes after everything that slowly builds up between those visits. Here’s the list our crews work through on every deep clean, so you can tackle it yourself or know exactly what to expect.
Kitchen
- Wipe cabinet fronts, handles and the tops of upper cabinets.
- Clean inside the microwave and degrease the range hood and filter.
- Scrub the backsplash and grout behind the stove.
- Pull out small appliances and wipe underneath and behind them.
Bathrooms
- Scrub tile and grout, and remove hard water spots from fixtures and glass.
- Clean behind and around the toilet base, including the bolts and floor edges.
- Wipe vanity fronts, drawer pulls and the exhaust fan cover.
- Wash the shower curtain liner or scrub glass door tracks.
Throughout the home
- Dust ceiling fan blades, light fixtures and air vents.
- Wipe baseboards, door frames, doors and switch plates.
- Clean window sills, tracks and blinds.
- Vacuum upholstery and under cushions.
Floors
- Move light furniture and clean underneath.
- Hand-clean floor edges and corners where mops miss.
- Vacuum carpet edges with a crevice tool, then mop hard floors.
How long does it take?
For a typical three-bedroom home, a deep clean takes one person a full day or more. Our crews of 2 usually finish in 3 to 5 hours. Plan for longer if it’s been several months since the last thorough clean, or if you have pets.
In the Triangle, spring is the most popular time. Once the yellow pine pollen settles, sills, screens and fans need more than a quick dusting.

A professional deep clean is also the best way to start a recurring plan, so every visit afterward stays quick.
