Deep Cleaning San Jose: What to Expect and When You Need It

What Is a Deep Cleaning — and Do You Really Need One?

If you've never had a professional cleaning, or it's been more than a few months since your last one, a deep cleaning is the right place to start. Here's everything you need to know.

Deep Cleaning vs. Regular Cleaning: What's the Difference?

A regular cleaning maintains a home that's already in good shape — vacuuming, mopping, wiping surfaces, cleaning bathrooms and the kitchen. A deep cleaning goes further, tackling the buildup that regular maintenance misses.

Think of it this way: regular cleaning is like brushing your teeth, and deep cleaning is like going to the dentist. Both are necessary, but they serve very different purposes.

What's Included in a Deep Clean?

• ✦Inside the oven, stovetop, and microwave — degreased and sanitized
• ✦Inside the refrigerator — shelves removed and wiped
• ✦Baseboards, door frames, and window sills — hand-wiped
• ✦Interior windows — glass cleaned, frames wiped
• ✦Inside cabinet fronts and light switch covers
• ✦Shower tile grout and lime scale removal
• ✦Ceiling fans and light fixtures — dusted and wiped
• ✦Everything in a regular cleaning, done at a deeper level
