Introduction
Keeping a clean home is about more than just appearance — it’s about health, comfort, and peace of mind. Many people wonder: Which cleaning service do I really need — deep cleaning or regular cleaning?
At It Smells Clean LLC, we understand the difference and know exactly when each type of cleaning is necessary. In this article, we’ll explain what each service includes and how to decide which one fits your needs best.
What Is a Regular Cleaning?
A regular cleaning (also called maintenance cleaning) is performed frequently — for example, once a week or every two weeks — and its goal is to keep your space clean, fresh, and organized.
Includes:
- Vacuuming and mopping floors
- Cleaning countertops and surfaces
- Dusting furniture and decor
- Bathroom cleaning (sink, toilet, shower)
- Cleaning kitchen sink and appliances’ exterior
- Changing bed linens (optional)
- Emptying trash
Best for:
- Homes that are cleaned regularly
- Families who want to maintain a fresh environment
- Busy professionals or apartments in constant use
What Is a Deep Cleaning?
A deep cleaning is a much more detailed and thorough service, designed to remove built-up dirt and grime in hard-to-reach areas.
Includes:
- Cleaning behind and underneath furniture and appliances
- Disinfecting bathrooms and kitchens in depth
- Wiping baseboards, doors, and light switches
- Cleaning interior windows and frames
- Dusting fans, blinds, and light fixtures
- Removing stains and buildup from surfaces
Best for:
- Move-in or move-out cleanings
- Vacant or newly remodeled properties
- Seasonal cleanings (like spring cleaning)
- Before or after hosting guests or Airbnb stays
How Often Should You Schedule a Deep Cleaning?
We recommend scheduling a deep cleaning every 3 to 6 months, depending on how often your home is used and how many people live there.
- Families with kids or pets → every 3 months
- Couples or single residents → every 6 months
- Rental or Airbnb properties → after each guest
How to Know Which One You Need
If your home looks clean but doesn’t feel as fresh as it used to — or if you notice areas that haven’t been cleaned in a while (like behind the fridge or baseboards) — it’s time for a deep cleaning.
On the other hand, if your home already stays neat and you just want to keep it that way, a regular cleaning schedule is perfect for you.
