How long does a deep cleaning take?

Professional deep cleaning takes 4-8 hours depending on home size and condition. A 2,000 sq ft home typically takes 5-6 hours for a team of two cleaners.

Is deep cleaning worth the cost?

Yes, deep cleaning extends the life of your home's surfaces, improves indoor air quality, and reduces allergens. It also makes regular maintenance cleaning faster and easier.

What's the difference between deep cleaning and spring cleaning?

They're essentially the same - a thorough, detailed cleaning of your entire home. Spring cleaning traditionally happens once a year, but experts recommend deep cleaning every 3-6 months.

Should I deep clean before or after regular cleaning?

Deep cleaning replaces your regular cleaning for that visit. After a deep clean, you can maintain the results with regular weekly or bi-weekly cleaning.
