When it comes to keeping your home fresh and inviting, not all cleaning is created equal. While regular cleaning keeps your space tidy day-to-day, there are times when only a deep cleaning will do the trick.
At Cleanful NW, we’ve been helping families in Federal Way, Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, and beyond decide which service fits their needs since 2007. So how do you know if your home needs a deep clean—or if a regular cleaning will do? Let’s break it down.
What Is Regular Cleaning?
Regular cleaning refers to the routine upkeep that keeps your home looking and feeling comfortable.
What’s Included in Regular Cleaning?
Regular cleaning typically focuses on high-traffic areas and surfaces, such as:
- Dusting furniture, shelves, and decor
- Sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping floors
- Wiping kitchen counters and stove tops
- Cleaning bathroom sinks, mirrors, and toilets
- Emptying trash and replacing liners
When Is It Best?
- Weekly or bi-weekly cleaning schedules
- Busy families or professionals who need help with maintenance
- General upkeep between deeper cleanings
If you want your home to stay tidy without spending hours cleaning every week, regular cleaning is your best option.
What Is Deep Cleaning?
Deep cleaning goes beyond surface-level tidying to tackle the hard-to-reach, often-overlooked areas in your home.
What’s Included in Deep Cleaning?
Deep cleaning covers everything in a regular cleaning—plus:
- Scrubbing baseboards, trim, and door frames
- Detail-cleaning kitchen appliances (inside the oven, microwave, refrigerator)
- Wiping walls, light switches, and vents
- Cleaning grout and bathroom tile
- Vacuuming upholstery and drapes
- Dusting ceiling fans and fixtures
Think of it as a top-to-bottom reset for your home.
When Is It Best?
- Before or after hosting an event
- Seasonal cleaning (spring/fall deep cleans)
- Before moving in or after moving out
- If it’s been a while since your home had a thorough scrub
Which One Do You Need?
Ask yourself these questions:
- Has it been more than a month since your last cleaning? If yes, a deep clean is likely needed.
- Are you preparing for a big event or move? Deep cleaning is the way to go.
- Do you just need help keeping things in order? Regular cleaning may be all you need.
A good rule of thumb: Start with a deep clean, then maintain with regular cleanings. This approach keeps your home consistently fresh without letting dirt and grime build up.
