Deep clean vs standard clean: what is the difference?

Standard clean

Usually surfaces, floors, bathrooms and kitchen upkeep for a home that is cleaned regularly.

Deep clean

Adds detail work such as baseboards, inside appliances, cabinets and heavy buildup. It takes longer and costs more.

Ask for a checklist

Companies define these terms differently. Ask for a written list of what is included and what costs extra.

Questions to ask

Do you bring supplies? Are you insured? What if something is missed? Request written estimates from more than one company.
