Deep vs Standard cleaning: what’s the difference?

Standard Cleaning, what many companies call regular cleaning, is the upkeep visit. Deep Cleaning is the same visit plus the details where dust and buildup collect over time. Here is exactly what each includes and what it costs in Miami.

The short answer

Standard Cleaning covers the kitchen, bathrooms, dusting and floors. Deep Cleaning includes all of that, plus baseboards, door frames, light switches, cabinet fronts, bathroom tile and grout, reachable interior windows, and the areas under and behind light furniture.

For a studio in Miami, Standard Cleaning is $150 and Deep Cleaning is $175 with $25 off your first Deep Cleaning (usually $200).

How often should you deep clean?

A simple rhythm works for most Miami homes:

First visit

Deep Cleaning, to reset every detail.

Every 1 to 4 weeks

Standard Cleaning keeps it that way.

Every 3 to 6 months

Deep Cleaning again, sooner with pets, kids or guests.

The Miami factor

Humidity

Bathroom tile and grout collect buildup faster in humid months. Deep Cleaning gives them detailed attention.

Sand and salt air

Near the beach, floors and glass pick up sand and salt quickly. Deep Cleaning adds reachable interior windows.

Balconies

Many Miami condos have one. The balcony is a $40 extra with any cleaning, and included in Move-In / Move-Out.

What neither cleaning includes

The inside of the oven and fridge, the balcony and closet organization are extras. Add them to either cleaning when you book:

  • Inside oven$40
  • Inside fridge$35
  • Balcony$40
  • Closet organization$65

Oven, fridge and balcony together: $95. You save $20.

Oven, fridge and balcony are already included in Move-In / Move-Out.
