One can often get very confused when it comes to managing the house cleaning routine of your house. Should you prefer deep cleaning? Or would regular cleaning do just fine?

What is the most effective way? The most affordable one? 

All these questions and so many more might puzzle someone who’s new to all of this but they shouldn’t get overwhelmed because in this article we explain what each one does and focuses on so that you can figure out what work best for your conditions

 If you are someone with a small to average sized home with kids and pets then you might  need a deep cleanse periodically but regular cleaning could work for a day to day basis. On the other hand, adults living together might just need deep cleans after every 6 months and still have a very clean and neat environment in their house.

What Is Regular Cleaning?

So what is usually meant by regular cleaning is when you choose an arrangement of weekly or biweekly cleaning with your cleaning service providers. They come and clean your house, which includes mopping, dusting, wiping surfaces and light kitchen cleaning. Now, you need to keep in mind that this type of cleaning is best for people who are already settled and just want their homes to get freshened up a bit, but it doesn’t take care of the hidden buildup or dirt in your house. You can always choose standard cleaning  (this) after you have deep cleaned your house once.

What Is Deep Cleaning?

As the name indicates, deep cleaning is the opposite of regular or standard cleaning. It entails detailed cleaning of your house. When we say deep clean, it means we want every corner of our house thoroughly cleaned and tidied up, and this includes all the places we often overlook, or neglect, such as baseboards, light fixtures, drains, cupboards- anything you can think of, and deep clean would almost always take care of it. 

It’s usually recommended to people whose house was closed for longer periods, or who are moving in or out of the house, for spring cleans, or for any time you think that the house needs a full, proper clean. 

Deep Cleaning vs Regular Cleaning: Key Differences

1. Time & Effort:

The difference between the time and effort taken to do a regular cleaning and a deep clean is huge. Regular cleaning might take a maximum of 1-2 hours, depending on the size of your house, but a deep clean can take 4-5 hours because of its depth and detail and the number of small things that need to be taken care of in the best way possible. So, the effort is almost double, and it’s way more consuming and demanding.

2. Surface vs Detail Work

In a regular clean, you see that your cleaner would only clean the stuff visible on the surface, the table tops, the shelves, the mirrors and stuff that, if left uncleaned, can cause the house to look awful. But a deep clean, on the other hand, requires intensive and detailed work. It has to be done beneath the furniture, over and under each and everything you have in the house. Your floors, your carpets, your rugs, your closets, your trash and even the marks on the walls. Everything is included!

3. Tools & Products Used:

Although both regular and deep cleaning require a fair share of supplies and detergents, etc., regular cleaning doesn’t need very strong cleaning chemicals cause we’re just dealing with the surfaces in it. Only remove the dirt on the objects that have already been cleaned many times so it’s easier to clean them. On the other hand, not only does deep cleaning mean a detailed cleaning of all the things in the house it also means fixing broken lights or any other stuff that is affecting the look and feel of the house and hence requires a load of different tools and stronger products to wipe off tough neglected stains that have hardened over time. 

4. Frequency:

When deciding how often you need either an irregular clean or a deep clean, you should keep in mind how detailed each one is and how much your house, in particular, really needs it. Still, generally, it is recommended that if youtube is getting a regular clean, you should get it 1-4 times a month, and if you’re choosing deep clean, then every 3-6 months is more than okay and more than what should be required for your house.

Which One Should You Choose?

Clients who are in the middle of making a decision between regular vs deep cleaning need to be very smart about their move. It’s all very person-specific and the condition or situation-specific as well. Like if you’re someone with a budget but no time and you’re moving into a new home with kids, then it is a far better idea to get a deep clean and then just relax for 2-3 months after that. Then you can get your weekly/biweekly package because, as a home with kids and pets, you would desperately need at least a little cleaning up every week. But if you’re living alone, then you might just opt for a deep cleaning every 3-6 months. 

Clean, Smarter, Not Just Harder:

Deep cleaning and regular cleaning are both pretty important, but you need to understand when you need what and how to manage both. Based on your personal preferences and choices, you can choose to get a deep clean every other month, but if you have children and pets, your house might need a little bit of cleaning every week, for which regular cleaning is recommended. 

You need to realize that deep cleaning is meant not for every other day but for once, twice or thrice a year when you think that house really needs it. Otherwise, regular cleaning does just fine in making sure that your house remains clean and tidy.
