When booking domestic cleaning in Cambridge, homeowners and tenants often ask whether they need a recurring regular clean or a one-off deep clean. While both leave your space fresh and hygienic, they serve very different purposes and require different techniques.
What a Regular Clean Covers A regular clean is designed to maintain cleanliness and prevent grime buildup in already well-kept spaces. It focuses on high-frequency touchpoints:
- Dusting all accessible surfaces, skirting boards, and window sills
- Vacuuming carpets and mopping hard floors throughout
- Sanitising kitchen worktops, splashbacks, sink basins, and exterior appliance faces
- Complete bathroom disinfection (toilets, showers, baths, and taps)
- Emptying bins and light tidying
What a Deep Clean Covers A deep clean is a rigorous, intensive restorative process. It addresses accumulated limescale, grease, and neglected crevices:
- Internal oven, hob extractor, and microwave detailing
- Descaling shower glass, tile grout, and Cambridge hard water scale from taps
- Behind and under heavy freestanding furniture
- Interior window panes, frames, and tracks
- Deep scrubbing of baseboards, door frames, light switches, and radiators
