What is the Difference Between Deep Cleaning and Regular Cleaning?

You've likely seen professional hygiene service providers that advertise deep cleaning services as well as regular cleaning solutions.


You have probably also heard that you need to deep clean your house (or office and other such spaces) every once in a while - say once a year - as opposed to regular cleaning, which you might do a little of every day.


But what exactly does it mean to do a deep cleaning? And what makes it different from regular cleaning, apart from that we only do it occasionally?


Deep cleaning vs. regular cleaning


There are several features that separate the two, including the difference in the time it takes to do each type of cleaning.


Regular cleaning


This consists of all the simple cleaning tasks that we need to do on a daily or weekly basis (depending on what they are) to maintain a neat and clean home, however it is more of a clean 'on the surface.' It involves things like:


Daily tasks

  • Making your bed

  • Tidying and organising rooms

  • Wiping down surfaces such as kitchen counters and bathroom sinks with cloths and disinfectant to clean up surface muck

  • Sweeping away dirt if necessary

  • Doing laundry if you have a big family

  • Doing the dishes

Weekly tasks

  • Vacuuming the carpets and floors

  • Sweeping with a broom

  • Changing bedsheets

  • Dusting

  • Disinfecting/cleaning the whole bathroom including the toilet, shower, etc.

These are the kinds of things you can expect if you order a professional for a regular clean.


Deep cleaning


As the name suggests, a deep clean goes deeper - it is more thorough and intensive than regular cleaning, goes into the crevices of rooms, and takes more time and effort as it deals with more stubborn grime.


It also focuses on areas and objects that are harder or time-consuming to clean, and that don't require regular cleaning for your environment to remain pleasant to be in.


Although deep cleaning may involve different duties depending on how often you do it, it typically involves:

  • Scrubbing the grout on bathroom tiles

  • Clearing the gutters

  • Cleaning air vents and light fixtures

  • Cleaning out the fridge

  • Properly cleaning upholstery, curtains, and even carpets using products as opposed to just vacuuming them

  • Cleaning the fireplace

  • Taking off soap scum and limestone where it lies

  • Wiping down things like the insides of cabinets and doorframes

  • Disinfecting dustbins

  • Cleaning the inside of the oven

  • Cleaning windows

Getting expert cleaners to perform a deep clean is always a good idea if you want to save a lot of time and ensure the proper techniques and products are used.


Some deep-cleaning tasks can also be a physical struggle for some people and put them at risk for injury. This is when a professional cleaning service like Vogue Hygiene becomes especially helpful and valuable.


If you decide to hire a professional to clean your spaces, it is best to go with a deep cleaning service to begin with. This gives your home or office a fresh start and ensures it is fully sanitised and spotless.


From there, you can do just regular cleaning for a while until it is time for another deep clean.


Depending what you use the space for and how many people frequent it, this could be monthly or yearly, or you might choose to do a deep clean for special occasions to make sure your space is extra inviting and looks as good as possible.


Whether you need a deep cleaning or just regular cleaning solution right now, Vogue Hygiene Services is an excellent option.
