A deep cleaning service in Highlands Ranch is a detailed, top-to-bottom clean that removes the buildup regular cleaning leaves behind. At Reina's Cleaning, it is done by a team of 3 to 4 people and includes the stove, oven and refrigerator, along with baseboards, detailed bathroom scrubbing and the hard-to-reach spots that tend to get skipped. Below is what that means in practice, how it compares to a standard clean, and how to plan for one.
Deep cleaning versus standard cleaning
The easiest way to understand a deep clean is to compare it with a regular visit.
A standard cleaning
- Dusting reachable surfaces
- Vacuuming and mopping floors
- Wiping kitchen counters and appliance exteriors
- Cleaning toilets, tubs, showers and sinks
- Emptying trash
A deep cleaning adds
- The stove and oven cleaned inside and out
- The refrigerator cleaned inside and out
- Baseboards, door frames and trim wiped by hand
- Grease removed from the backsplash, range hood and cabinet fronts
- Tile, grout, soap scum and hard water spots worked on in the bathrooms
- Vents, blinds, sills and other dust traps cleaned
- Anything else you want a full reset on that has been neglected
A standard clean keeps a home in good shape. A deep clean brings it back to that point when it has slipped.
Why we send a bigger team
Deep cleans take more work than regular visits, so we staff them differently. A team of 3 to 4 people can split up the kitchen, bathrooms and living spaces and give each one proper attention in a single visit. For you, that means the house is reset in one appointment instead of being spread out over several.
The areas that make the biggest difference
Kitchen
Kitchens collect grease in places you do not notice day to day: the top of the range hood, the backsplash behind the stove, the edges of cabinet doors. The oven and refrigerator interiors are usually the biggest visible change after a deep clean.
Bathrooms
Mineral spots on fixtures and glass, soap film on tile and buildup around the base of the toilet are the details that make a bathroom look older than it is. These get focused time during a deep clean.
Living areas and bedrooms
Dust on baseboards, blinds, vents and the tops of door frames adds up across a whole house. In larger homes with multiple floors, this is often where the most time goes.
When to schedule a deep clean
- Your first professional cleaning, or the first in a long time
- Right before starting recurring service
- Moving in or moving out
- A spring or fall reset
- After a renovation, a new baby, a long illness or a busy season at work
- Before hosting family or a big event
How to prepare
- Clear counters, tables and floors of clutter so surfaces can be cleaned.
- Toss old food in the refrigerator if you want the shelves and drawers cleaned.
- Set aside valuables and anything fragile you would rather move yourself.
- Tell us about natural stone, specialty floors or anything that needs particular care.
- Plan for pets so the team can work through every room.
- Write down your priorities. If the oven and the primary bathroom are what bother you most, we will make sure they get the time they need.
How often should a Highlands Ranch home be deep cleaned
It depends on how the home is used and how often it gets regular cleaning in between. A home on a weekly or biweekly schedule may only need a deep clean once or twice a year. A busy household without regular help may want one every few months. We are happy to give you an honest recommendation after we learn about your home.
What to expect on the day
The team will walk through the home with you or review your notes, confirm your priorities, then split up the rooms. Kitchens and bathrooms usually take the longest. You do not need to be home the whole time, but it helps to be reachable by phone in case a question comes up about a surface or an item you want left alone.
After the deep clean
Most people find that once the buildup is gone, keeping the house clean is much easier. Recurring cleaning on a weekly, biweekly or monthly schedule keeps it there, so the next deep clean is lighter work.
