Spk What Is a Deep Clean (vs a Regular Clean)-
A deep clean is a top-to-bottom reset of your home that tackles everything a regular weekly clean simply does not have time to reach. Where a standard visit focuses on surfaces, floors and bathrooms, a deep clean systematically works through every room - including the parts you usually forget exist.
Think descaled shower heads, degreased extractor filters, dust removed from skirting boards and picture rails, inside-fridge sanitisation, and grout brought back to its original colour. It is the kind of clean that resets your home to a "new build" feel and makes your regular cleaning routine far easier to keep on top of for months afterwards.
Kitchen Deep Cleaning Checklist
The kitchen is where deep cleaning makes the most visible difference. Grease, limescale and food residue build up in places that a quick wipe-down never reaches, and over time this affects both hygiene and the lifespan of your appliances. A proper kitchen deep clean takes a professional team 90-150 minutes depending on size and condition.
- Degrease oven inside, including racks, trays and door glass
- Clean hob, extractor hood and replace or wash filters
- Empty, sanitise and re-stock inside of fridge and freezer
- Descale kettle, taps and sink
- Wipe inside all cupboards and drawers
- Clean behind and underneath freestanding appliances
- Sanitise bins and bin storage areas
- Polish splashbacks, tiles and worktops

Bathrooms in Birmingham suffer heavily from limescale thanks to our hard water. A deep clean focuses on removing scale, mould and soap residue from areas a regular clean cannot tackle in 10 minutes.

Bedrooms collect more dust than any other room because of the volume of fabric - bedding, curtains, carpets and soft furnishings all hold onto particles. A bedroom deep clean focuses on reducing allergens, refreshing mattresses, and cleaning the surfaces you do not reach during normal tidying.
- Vacuum mattress and rotate where possible
- Wash or steam curtains and blinds
- Clean inside wardrobes and drawers
- Dust skirting boards, picture rails and door tops
- Wipe down light switches, sockets and handles
- Polish mirrors and inside of windows
- Move and vacuum under the bed
- Sanitise bedside surfaces and lamps
Living Room & Common Areas
Living rooms, hallways and stairs are the highest-traffic spaces in your home and benefit massively from a periodic deep clean. Upholstery, carpets and high-level surfaces all need attention that simply does not fit into a weekly routine.
- Vacuum sofas including under cushions
- Spot-treat carpet and rug stains
- Dust and polish all hard surfaces, including shelving and electronics
- Clean light fittings, lampshades and ceiling fans
- Wipe down bannisters, skirting and door frames
- Clean inside windows and tracks
- Sanitise remote controls and switches
- Vacuum and mop hallways and stairs
How Often Should You Deep Clean-
For most Birmingham households, a professional deep clean every 3-6 months strikes the right balance. Homes with pets, young children, smokers or open-plan kitchens generally benefit from the shorter end of that range, while couples and single occupants in lower-traffic homes can stretch it to twice a year.
If you maintain a regular weekly clean in between - either yourself or with a professional cleaner - you will find the deep cleans get noticeably quicker and cheaper over time. The first deep clean of a home that has not had one in years is always the most labour-intensive; subsequent visits become a much lighter reset.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a deep clean take-
A typical 2-bed home takes 4-6 hours with a two-person team. Larger homes or those that have not been deep cleaned in some time can take a full day. We will give you an accurate time estimate when we quote.
What's the difference between a deep clean and end of tenancy-
A deep clean restores the home for the current occupants. An end of tenancy clean is to a higher inventory standard, requires empty rooms, and comes with a deposit-protection re-clean guarantee.
Do I need to be home during the clean-
No - most clients give us a key or door code. Our cleaners are fully insured, DBS-checked and supervised throughout. You are equally welcome to be home and have a coffee while we work.
Do you bring your own products-
Yes. We supply all products and equipment as standard, including hospital-grade sanitiser, anti-limescale treatments and HEPA-filter vacuums. We can use your products on request.
How much does a deep clean cost in Birmingham-
Prices typically start at around ?130 for a 1-bed flat and rise based on bedroom count, bathroom count, and the current condition of the property. We provide a fixed quote up front with no surprises.
