What is a deep clean?
A deep clean is a thorough, top-to-bottom clean of your whole home. It reaches the places a weekly clean skips: behind and under appliances, inside cupboards, along skirting boards, the tops of door frames, light fittings, grout lines and the build-up of limescale and grease that slowly dulls kitchens and bathrooms.
Think of it as a reset. After a deep clean, regular cleaning becomes quicker and easier because the hidden dirt has gone.
When to book a deep clean
People in Richmond upon Thames book a deep clean for many reasons. The most common are:
- A seasonal clean in spring or before winter.
- Before guests arrive, or before a family celebration.
- After an illness in the home, to disinfect touch points and bathrooms.
- Before starting a regular cleaning plan, so weekly visits begin from a clean base.
- When moving into a home that has not been cleaned properly.
- After a busy period when cleaning has fallen behind.

- Every room: skirting boards, doors, frames and handles wiped; light switches and sockets disinfected; high and low dusting including light fittings and the tops of wardrobes.
- Behind and under: movable furniture and appliances pulled out where safe, with the floor and walls behind cleaned.
- Floors: vacuumed throughout and hard floors mopped edge to edge.
