A Deep Clean is for the first-time customers or customers who haven’t had their home professionally cleaned in the last 2–3 months. 

The checklist for deep and regular cleanings is the same. Deep cleaning involves more time, effort, and focus. We require that you choose the Deep Clean option if your house: 
 
Has not been cleaned in the last month.  
Your home is not being maintained on a regular basis.  
 
Deep cleaning is a time-based service with the option to add additional services like: Oven cleaning, External window cleaning, etc. 

The time taken depends primarily on the area of the premises, number of rooms and bathrooms, basic condition, and type of service opted for.

Some customers only need deep cleaning for bathrooms which can take 3–5 hours or deep cleaning certain sections of the house, but others want to do deep cleaning for the whole house which can take 8–12 hours depending upon the size of the house.
